Grand National thoughts - Sweepstake Kit, App, latest prices and no tips ;-) !!!
Some Grand National thoughts ......
This weekend sees a huge influx of "what is going to win the Grand national Tony?" type texts and calls, I never mind to be fair. However the chance of me picking the national winner every year is slim ! if I could I would be living on an island in the West Indies, sat on a boat with a raft of Staff !
Back what you fancy ! A name, a colour (I have often found green to be lucky !) - Whatever you think ! Tips in the pub for the National are often just made up - so go with what you think ! and don't bet if you can't afford to lose - it is just fun !Look out for the bookies that are paying 5 Places (Bet365, Skybet, Paddy Power, Stan James) and 6 Places (Bet Victor)- and make certain you take the price when you bet your horse.
Latest odds are here:

My Shortlist for the race is:
In no particular order !
Quel Esprit
Sunnyhillboy
Teaforthree
Cappa Bleu
Always Waining
Chicago Grey
Rare Bob
Joncol
And the winner is still probably not in the above ! I do hope that my great mate Wilson Renwick jumps round on Targuinius - some party if he wins !!! Here is what I am backing by the way - will give a good account as a huge Aintree performer.
I hope all the horses and riders come home safe and sound.
Channel 4 Launches new Racing App - Free Tracker for your phone
Just like for the jockeys on the famous Aintree course, the Grand National provides one of the biggest tests in TV and to celebrate its first coverage of the race Channel 4 has launched a brand new second screen app.
Based on Monterosa LViS second screen technology and TurfTrax data, the Channel 4 Horse Tracker is designed to allow, for the first time, viewers to track the position, speed and distance in real time of the horses—such as relative to the next horse and to the finish—in the John Smith’s Grand National and other races for the Aintree three-day meeting including the main event itself broadcast at 4.15 p.m. on Saturday 6 April.
The free app, is available to download immediately from the Apple App Store, uses to allow users to access live race information synchronised with their TV coverage of the race. A non-synchronised version of tracker will also be available online at channel4.com/racing.
