Seagram won the grand national which was sponsored by Seagrams,thank god.I was new to gambling then and had layed all the family and friends bets on Auntie Dot and Garrison Savanah and other skinners.Aunie Dot e/w was going to sink me at 66/1 but I had backed Seagram.Ended up making a small profit after nearly having a heart attack watching the race.

A few years ago we lost our 15 yr old Springer called Archer. I'd organised a trip to Thirsk races scheduled for the next day for us and a group of friends. At the very last minute we decided to go (wife was still distraught but felt we had to go because taxis and tickets were booked in our name). Anyway short story is Proud Archi wins the 5th. 9/1 if memory serves. We were all on it. Plenty of tears flowed after! It's become an expensive trip because the wife still insists on backing it every time it pops up in my tracker!!!

Not a coincidence bet as such but in a similar vein. I took my missus to Newmarket one day and after watching the parade she told me to put a fiver each way on Mick Channons Hunting Lion. It duly won @ 50/1 and when I asked why did she pick that one she said "It had the happiest face " !

A few years ago I had a very vivid dream about the number 5. I was in a bookies later that day and there was a horse running called Five Star, it was in the 5th race and by chance was number 5 on the racecard. I put £5 on it and.....it came 5th.

Thanks, yes I had a cheeky tenner on the RF at 38 on here. Was having a bad day beforehand, so that's turned things around.

It isn't really coincidence, but I do find myself sometimes merely eyeballing a race's runners and immediately latching on to a runner for no logical reason. I then study the said race, come up with a rational selection, watch it lose, and the first horse I eyeballed win.

The winner of the national. My daughter asked me to pick a horse, she is 30 so I picked number 30 to win. Go figure.
