Massive Grand National Gamble On Cloudy Lane

Ladbrokes Takes Half A Million Euro

This Saturday sees the biggest betting event of the racing calendar take centre stage - the Grand National at the famous Aintree racecourse. The 2008 Grand National will once again see millions of euro wagered on the outcome and unusually this year, one horse has emerged as a clear race favourite. Cloudy Lane, trained by Donald McCain, son of Grand National legend Ginger McCain, is priced at Grand National odds of 5/1 to win the Grand National following a massive gamble to the tune of €500,000, according to Ladbrokes. The next closest priced Grand National runners are late movers Slim Pickings and Comply or Die, both priced at 10/1.
