When your Luck is IN.
Sometimes in horseracing there is no rhyme or reason, you can study the form book, follow a certain jockey or trainer, pick a horse that likes good ground etc
Then THIS happens
My young nephew aged 8 is called Dylan, today at the Irish Grand National a horse called
Freewheeling Dylan won at odds of 150/ 1 (YES 150/ 1)
So after all my careful form studying and picking my horses right at the end I thought "what the heck £2 each way won't bankrupt me" instead it bolstered my bank account by OVER £300
Guess which nephew will be getting a wee extra Easter surprise lol.

Ha ha ED007 there was NO SKILL involved at on my part, but I must admit I always put small bets on when any of the family's names pop up in a horse race.
Mrs T who moans at me putting on ANY money came out with this cracker "you should have put £20 on"
Groan I cannot win.

I had £20 on the 2nd at 9/ 1 gutted, was looking behind mine throughout last few fences waiting to see if the Fav or any others were running on as Jack Kennedy was sitting motionless and the 1 in front was 150/ 1 which you fully expect to run past but fair play to the winner it was game out in front and mine was 2nd.
Tbf Iv never been out the 1st 2 in any National in 10 years winning plenty even the virtual last year on Potters corner, never go eway though as I normally pick 3 as the odds are so good. 1 at 10/ 1 and under, 1 between 10/ 1 and 18/ 1 and usually 1 that’s been backed at big odds.

The winner was well beaten on his last 3 starts but they were all on soft ground.
