That great British institution, the Grand National, is upon us once again at 16:15 (17:15 CET) today.

Anyone know of any options for watching the race live in Spain please?

PS. I'm on Hedgehunter - the old ones are the best

I have consistently picked out the wrong horses for as long as I remember ... from what I have read its a lot more open this year, no big favourites. Now wheres that pin ........

Hedgehunter on the slide and far too much weight though loads will be on it trust me. Get on Longshanks at a decent price and if you want a good outsider thisthatandtother at a big 66-1 if he can stay the distance but the ground is in his favour today

So does this mean that we now have our own online betting information service

I'm going to have "A bob each way up and down double" on
"Dusty Carpet"....it's going to take some beating...

You could make a pile!

Turn on the TV, select BBC1 and you can watch, or go to almost any expat bar, it's sure to be on there.

Yes - I got the winner
Maybe its going to be a lucky week for me.
Drinks on me tonight!

Hmmm, no BBC channels on my TV and no expat bars anywhere near either.

In the end, I watched it from an online feed courtesy of Ladbrokes. Hedgehunter was indeed carrying too much weight, or perhaps was not fit enough, but at least stayed on his feet. My wife covered my losses by backing the second each-way

I think there is coverage on one of the Canal+ sport channels later at 19:05 for a blow by blow.

you tried to take the piss out of a post that wasn't even addressed to you, that is stalking, and I could quite easily have grounds to report you.

I don't believe it I came on this thread to get away from you two boys and here you are just for that I am going to give you both one of these each


Right, I didn't watch the race to day but way back when....and I'm sure someone will tell me when that was I had the 1st and 2nd place in the office sweepstake I won a bundle with Red Rum and Crisp. In fact I won two year running with Red Rum my hubby at the time said I was mad betting on Red Rum the 2nd year boy did he have egg on his face I know the date of this was in the early 70's as I was working in Fleet Street at the time.

Sorry.

Reckon the people at my ex work place will have been glad to see the back of me, I won the sweepstake for the National two years running, and got the second the year before, last win was the year I retired..
