    I've had a few winners in this in the past. I rarely don't get one in the top 4. I didn't get the winner last year though so hopefully I will get it this year.

    Hate this race, just cruel on the Horses IMO.
    The size of the jump hedges is a discase.

    Yes.

    They need to make the hedges higher imo.

    With the big race only 2 days away I thought it would be interesting to see which horses the TalkCeltic community are planning to back on Saturday.

    I usually back 2 each year and I have my shortlist narrowed down to 5 horses. I still haven't decided which 2 I am going to plump for yet though.

    So, who will you be backing on Saturday? If you could give a reason as well then that would be grand. :50:


    *The poll is multiple choice so you can choose more than one option.

    Teaforthree-jumps for fun, has won over 4 miles, and has been primed for Saturday.

    Colbert Station-Ted Walsh horses always good for a go, and this is his best chance for me!

    Always seem to pick a horse for the Irish one thatl be ahead for about 6/8 of the race and then drops down to 5th or 6th at the finish.

    When I used to bet on the National I would pick horses by their names....if I liked the name, maybe it was unusual or meant something to me.

    I won't be betting but if I was I'd be picking Balthazar King....got a connection to the name Balthazar
