    It's honestly not "my sort of race" at all.

    I have plenty of respect for Bill Hartston, though (interesting that the Daily Mail call him a "mathematician", there - he's worked as a psychologist for most of his life, I thought. He's also a former British Chess Champion).

    There's an interesting chapter on the National in Nick Mordin's very old book "Betting For A Living", in which he explains his own research (together with the claim that using historical/statistical parameters can usually effectively reduce the enormous field down to 4/5 runners, and show a profit by "dutching" them all).

    Paul Jones' comments are here: At The Races guide to the Grand National: Racecards, Video Previews, Odds, Form, Hugh Taylor, Gary O'Brien, News, Reports, Live Results

    It's not one I'll bet on, myself, though.

    What do you fancy, in this race?
  • My grandmother said you pick a mid-weight horse. She could look at the horses and tell more between the couple of horses at mid-weight, by their coat, eyes, the way they were holding their ears and head. She won a hella lot more that lost.

    Not scientific - but then, not everything we win at is.
