For anyone brought up in Britain and Ireland this is the biggest race of the year . With a global viewing audience of over 500 million it is also the most watched . I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea so if you don’t like it that’s perfectly understandable. It’s the race that first got me interested in horse racing and I still remember the first horse I bet on - Dandy Scot in 1960 ( he fell ) . Nearly everyone in Britain will be betting on the race as my mother still was at age 99. I’m hoping that Any Second Now who has finished 2nd and 3rd in the last two runnings will go one better this time but a Scottish win by the favorite Corach Rambler would be greeted with joy in my homeland . Will also have an each way bet on Galvin as I met his jockey Davy Russell in Dubai recently and he’s a great guy. www.racingpost.com/racecards/32/aintree/2023-04-15/831493/

What is the over/under on the number of protesters that manage to chain themselves to a jump?

Protestors trying to disrupt the race, mostly appear to be getting their asses kicked so far.
Boxing six in exactas: 1,3,6,13,24,25 Like Galvin and Capodanno best.

Number 28 Mr Incredible certainly looks the part from here in California. Interesting both Montijeu influences or 400 to one morning line. No parade no national anthem. They're about to start.. good luck everybody!
