I never choose the favourite I just look at the list of names and choose a couple that jump out at me. Today I’m going for Spanish Harlem and stellar story.

Good god, the question wasn’t “do you support the Grand National” it was who are you backing. Scroll the fuck on!

OP, I’ll place a bet but not looked yet. I normally go for something obscure at about 30-1

Not a TAAT but one came up on the "Similar Threads" from last year .
Very similar theme , who are you backing , great laugh etc , even the "Well I'm off to get in a great amount of food etc"

Op ( on that thread) managed to rake in £2500 from her DH win for a boob job .
Hope it brings them happiness ,
Can you even get both augmentations for £2500 ?

That was me. Got myself some nice DD’s in turkey had to put another grand towards it but worth it!

And I thought this was a posh site. Turns out half of them can’t read 😅

Same I always go for the ones with the highest odds, it’s anyone’s race after all.

They make a huge effort! Seriously, some of them have been preparing for ages. It brings in a massive amount of money for hairdressers and salons locally. It might not be your taste but trust me, they make an effort.

The pictures I have seen show some of the women looking
hideous.
Parading around exposing as much fat white flesh allowed (without being arrested) and heavilly tatooed bodies contrasting with frilly lace babydoll ensembles, all accompanied by the most ridiculous hats and shoes, is not fashion in anyones eyes..surely.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 11/04/2026 13:14

The Grand National is barbaric and should be banned. Those beautiful animals losing their lives just so that idiots can have ‘fun’ and make money.

Shame on everyone who supports it.

Probably down some back alley somewhere. Keeping it classy.

You might say 'Wow', but you can't honestly disagree.😏

I’m not. It’s cruel. I don’t understand anyone that supports it.

My once a year flutter and I know nothing about horses so select based on names that jump out at me!

None. It's cruel.

Well unless we've missed the memo that says we cannot comment on a thread then I think anyone who wishes to make a point is free to do so.
I am not obliged to Scroll the fuck on

Bulbsbulbsbulbs · 11/04/2026 13:27

It should be banned. It's cruel and unnecessary. All about money.

Why am I not surprised you got a boob job with winnings. Shallow as a puddle.

Tel12 · 11/04/2026 13:29

You could always bet on how many horses will die, during and after?

If my horse comes into today I’ll be off for a designer vagina. Put that in your pipe and smoke it ☺️

Fat white flesh? Would it be ok if they showed thin flesh? Is it the fat or the colour you object to?

They always think they are holier than thou but they can’t help a bit of body shaming 🤮
