Comply or Die wins the Grand National

After my disappointing selections in last years Grand National I had low expectations of receiving any returns on this years bets. However you have to speculate to accumulate so wasting no time studying the form like last year I instead picked Comply or Die and Slim Pickings purely based on the fact I liked their names and backed each with a £2 bet.

Slim Pickings at odds of 13 came in a respectable fourth but Comply or Die that I backed at odds of 11.5 was heavily backed in the hours prior to the race to joint favourite. All this money going in Comply or Die’s direction proved a shrewd investment for punters as he was able to hold off a strong challenge by King Johns Castle to win the Grand National by four lengths. Finally I had picked the right horse and my ‘luck’ was rewarded with an £18.25 profit.
