Here i am very happy, The Grand National has been won by a female Jockey for the first time to add to this i had a nice little bet on Minella Times myself which maywell go towards a Dovpo Riva.
 
After her Cheltenham heroics I'm kicking myself i didn't go with my gut and back her! A great win by herself! Didn't even get a place myself
 
They dont have female jockeys?
Girls r so light, and there r so many short ones. I wouldve thought they would dominate the sport by now.

Sorry..'women'

Edit: i dont know how many guys here have ever ridden a horse, but girls have a disticnt advantage when it comes to riding on a saddle as well, lol

No weight advantage in a handicap race
 
I looked at her and Minella Times at least three times, but I wanted longer odds, as I was betting my final quid on a 1st place, two other each way bets came nowhere. Well done Rachael Blackmore and Minella Times. Sadly The Long Mile was put down, due to injuries sick.gif My first time ever betting online (at my wife's request), it's too easy, I better watch it.

I do not know what that is (obviously i dont bet on horse racing)

Edit: i assume its the jockeys not the horses who r handicapped?

Each jockey is weighed with saddle then weight is added to the saddle.
Think it is based on previous results in races

As a former bookies manager my advice is close your account now. The problem arising from the bookies being closed is the amount of folk who will maintain their accounts and the temptation will be there for them to get into trouble. I have seen the bad side of what gambling can do and the ways betting companies get you hooked. These days you have so much to bet on plus casino's. For me it got to a point where i felt the gambling industry is a cause of a lot of poor folks lives being even worse as they lose all trying to win a few quid. I am not saying don't have a bet but getting into the habit is so easily done.
