Oceans Apart: The first time I ever went to the Grand nat it was the year Little Polvier won. I had the first 3 horses in the right order on a trio and I won about 55 quid. Unfortunately it was a combination bet and if I had just done a straight trio I would have won £3000. I have never done it since lol! But I have been 4 times.
"Snoopy": I have no doubt horses have been shot this year in other races before this one. I don,t know about this one. It can happen in any race I,m afraid.
