A horse in the Grand National?

Question

Does anyone else find it amusing that there is a horse called Simon running in this weekends grand national?

Answer 1

I'll be laughing all the way to the bank when he wins.

Answer 2

OOOOO whenever the grand national is on i always go for the 200-1 one because i feel sorry for them!! I hope they win! YAY SLOW HORSES GO GO GO>>>>>>>>>>....... i am really weird by the way!! oh and a normal name for once is quite amusing! simon!!

Answer 3

Yes, plain and simple

Answer 4

I'd be more amused if the stuffy gits who regulate naming race horses allowed through a 'Hoof Hearted' once in a while.

Answer 5

I suppose a horse called Simon is funny but I wish the National could get banned. It's dangerous and cruel and a senseless loss of too many beautiful animals' lives.

Answer 6

Simon and Clan Royal are the horses I currently intend to back if I can be bothered with betting at all.  

I'm estimating putting 60% of the money on Simon, and 40% on Clan Royal both to win based on the current odds.

It is best to choose a horse which has less than 11 handicap, as they rarely win if they are heavily handicapped.  

Clan Royal is usually there or there about at the end, and so could easily be the winner.  I was backing Clan Royal last year.

If Simon makes it to the end he has a good chance of winning.  It is always best in the Grand National to avoid the favourites as the odds are c**p. (and they rarely win anyway)

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

he is probably a smart alec beast
