The Grand National is always a popular talking point in our house and at work for that matter. With so many horses running how do you choose which one to punt? The majority of people I know pick the horse with the silliest name… It’s a sure thing that the horse with the most catchy or strange names have really long odds, making a winner with a silly name something you’ll never forget.
