It's the luck of the draw.....

Nostrils quivering in anticipation? Ears back, alert for the starter's pistol? Gently pawing the ground?

Well, wait no longer, because the runners and riders have been announced, and the draw has taken place!

Woohoo! Who could possibly lose with a horse named Monkerhostin?

I mean, really...who comes up with this? Did someone hate him as a foal? Sheesh. I bet all his pasturemates laughed their butts off at him.

But Celtic Son...I could get behind that. Even if he has a snowball's chance in hell. Oh, well.

My roomies are going to think I flipped my lid in a serious way if the word Monkerhostin even comes out of my mouth, much less scream it...does the Grand National air here in the States?

*Runs to go and look up her horses -- because maybe Monkerhostin is at least easy on the eyes*

I'm trying to find somewhere you'd all be able to watch it online, so far with quite limited success. I'm going to post the links I've found later if I can't find anything better, but it does say 'available to UK users only', and I've got no way, obviously, of testing how much they mean it ;).

It must air somewhere - on some sat/cable channel, but so far I'm drawing a bit of a blank.
