And here I thought a rambunctious King John's Castle was a good sign pre start...shame he wasn't so rambunctious with the jockey on him

Congrats Dean! Will be needing an addy for the winnings shipment.

For those who missed or don't have the chance to watch the race here's how they finished.

Full finishing order of the 2010 Grand National:
First place:
Don't Push It (10-1 joint-favourite)
Jockey Tony McCoy: "If you get enough goes at something and you keep going, once you're in there you've always got a chance. I'm delighted for JP [McManus, owner] as he's the best supporter this game has ever had and ever will have, and I'm very privileged to ride a Grand National winner in his colours."
Second place:
Black Apalachi (14-1) 5 lengths behind
Jockey Denis O'Regan: "My fella's a tremendous horse and he gave me a tremendous feel. He just loves bowling along and loves this place. He was a bit keen early on but once he settled into a lovely rhythm he was fantastic. It's a pleasure to ride a horse like him round here."
Third place:
State of Play (16-1) 20 lengths
Jockey Paul Moloney: "It was a serious run from a serious horse who's been very good to me - and he might win it next year, please God."
Fourth place:
Big Fella Thanks (10-1 joint-favourite) 3 lengths
Jockey Barry Geraghty: "That was brilliant. He galloped from end to end, the best ride I've ever had round here. But if you can't have the winner then it's good to see AP [McCoy] win it"
Fifth place:
Hello Bud, 7 lengths
Sixth: Snowy Morning, 1? lengths
Seventh: Character Building, neck

Both my damn horses fell early!!!

[cj121]

I forgot I'd entered this one

A nicely organised and run sweepstake Steve, and good effort with the results and comments

Forum owner wins comp! What were the odds for that I wonder?

Congrats Deano.

What were the arrangements for 2nd place again?

[Deano]

Thanks to those who've PM'd me so far. I feel very lucky to have finally won something and am glad it wasn't fixable or I would've had to of refused this great stash I'm about to receive!

[cjlawrie]

Well done deano! I'm mildly jealous but one of these days I will win something....some day.

[skyhigh]

Shameless for anyone who has'nt contacted the winner DEANO and acquired his addy to send him his winnings/your stake. If you haven't got his addy pm him or myself for it please.

[cjlawrie]

I'm done. Deano has a couple of good cigars which arrived today! Lucky bugger.
