The virtual grand national with a difference.
Being run this Saturday on the TV .. I will run a sweep for this If I can get forty names on this thread before Saturday.. If more than forty apply ,then the first forty names down will be taken...
NOW THE TWIST .... The first five horses home the owners will have to donate a tenner to the NHS charity by their own means.. So it's actually all down to the persons own honesty..
I'm in,come on everybody lets have a laugh to cheer us up and help the NHS..

Re: The virtual grand national with a difference.
Brilliant idea, if you have the time, you could give everyone a 2nd chance on the same terms in the " National legends " virtual race, that's being broadcast in the same show. Tiger Roll up against Red Rum, Reynoldstown, L'escargot and Golden Miller ....conyoviejo wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 6:07 pmBeing run this Saturday on the TV ..

Re: The virtual grand national with a difference.
It's a pretty decent representation of the "proper" race.
Here are the 3 winners of the Virtual Grand Nationals run so far
2017 Cause Of Causes (2nd in the race proper)
2018 Tiger Roll (winner in the race proper)
2019 Rathvinden (3rd in the race proper)

Re: The virtual grand national with a difference.
Nothing virtual about the £20 I lost.
Still, all in a good cause and it will be interesting to see how much has been raised. No figure released yet, I don't think.
