Well folks, its that time of the year again! If your in the UK, you'll know what the Grand National is, for those that aren't or are and still don't, its Horse Racings answer to the Superbowl.
Its the race all the best trainers/jockies want to win and its normally the most popular event of the year for the bookmakers as even people that have no idea about Horse racing bet on it. Why you might ask? Because its anyones game!
The horses compete on a long track with a number of hurdles, even the favourite horse could end up finishing last if it falls on its ass!
So, I've decided to throw up a Sweepstake for MR and have compiled a list (see below) of the Horses that are due to run. I've created a back alley and numbered each of these horses, so when you send me the money I'll send you the name of your horse. (this is to ensure there are no claims of me fixing it so that friends can be given the best horses - not that doing that would guarantee anything anyway due to the nature of the race). Anyway, enough of my ramblings, here is the list of runners;
| Horse Name | Owner Name | Horse Name | Owner Name |
| IMPERIAL COMMANDER | NONE | TARQUINIUS | NONE |
| WHAT A FRIEND | NONE | CAPPA BLEU | NONE |
| WEIRD AL | NONE | OSCAR TIME | NONE |
| QUEL ESPRIT | NONE | ALWAYS WAINING | NONE |
| BIG FELLA THANKS | NONE | SOLL | NONE |
| ROBERTO GOLDBACK | NONE | TATENEN | NONE |
| SEABASS | NONE | TREACLE | NONE |
| BALLABRIGGS | NONE | LOST GLORY | NONE |
| SUNNYHILLBOY | NONE | SAINT ARE | NONE |
| TEAFORTHREE | NONE | SWING BILL | NONE |
| ACROSS THE BAY | NONE | ANY CURRENCY | NONE |
| JOIN TOGETHER | NONE | CHICAGO GREY | NONE |
| VIKING BLOND | NONE | MAJOR MALARKEY | NONE |
| COLBERT STATION | NONE | QUISCOVER FOUNTAINE | NONE |
| AURORAS ENCORE | NONE | BECAUSEICOULDNTSEE | NONE |
| FORPADDYDEPLASTERER | NONE | HARRY THE VIKING | NONE |
| ON HIS OWN | NONE | RARE BOB | NONE |
| JONCOL | NONE | THE RAINBOW HUNTER | NONE |
| NINTIETH MINUTE | NONE | MR MOONSHINE | NONE |
| BALTHAZAR KING | NONE | MUMBLES HEAD | NONE |
Horses are set at a reasonable $100,000 per horse to allow everyone a chance to play. If they are all sold quickly then i'd be happy to do another Sweep, even possibly one with higher stakes if there is a demand for it.
1st Place: $2.5 million
2nd Place: $1 million
3rd Place: $500,000
The race begins Saturday April 6th at 16.15 (15.15 MR time).
