Any Brits watching or betting on this?
For Americans wondering, it's the biggest horse race of the year, apparently over 50% of the population has a bet on it and over £150m is being staked this year
40 runners over 4 miles, 30 fences up to 6 foot high

My main two picks are Balthazar King and Rare Bob (been on for a couple of weeks), and a couple of quid on Mumbles Head at 100/1 as named after the pier by my house haha
Great race, won by massive outsider Auroras Encore!
Didn't get a chance to bet this year. I've won money 4 yrs straight, so gutted to miss it this year. Was it a good race?
Excellent. Very fair, 17 finishers, 33 finished the first circuit and no injuries whatsoever. Awesome finish, gutted Welsh horses finished 2nd and 3rd, but a very fair winner (2nd in the Scottish National off 6lb higher).
Made my big mistake backing Rare Bob at 18/1 EW on William Hill instead of on Bet365, only 4 places paid and he finished 5th. Good game William Hill account, placing my last £5 on massive longshots and never depositing again if they lose and withdrawing if they win. Only cost me £30 but it's the principal
