It's Grand National day! Oh noes. Massive horse carnage in minus 3 hours. Why do I like horse racing? It's a love/hate thing.
With the complete absence of any Rush-related gee-gees, I've had to place my bets on random others ("Hector Barbossa" and "Francis Walsingham" do actually exist in the horse world over here, but neither of them appear to be good enough to win the regular races, never mind the National!).Here's hoping that "Hear the Echo" makes a good run, as well as "Black Apalachi" and "Rambling Minster". (How a minster rambles is beyond me, but we won't ask questions.) Watch out for those ridiculous fences, boys.
If I win, teh money will go into my NY fund (unless Matilda decides to break *again*, as she has done *twice* within the past 4 weeks, in which case it'll be going to a garage somewhere for repairs). If I don't win, I've lost ten quid. Ah well. (I can't even watch the race because I'm working! Boo.)
