With the Grand National coming up in just two months, all race enthusiasts are excited to know the runners participating this year. Since the Grand National has been one of the hot favorite races among betters over the past entire century, every year it simply gains more popularity (and obviously more viewers!).

As of now, the final list of entrants has been submitted, out of which approximately 112 horses have been shortlisted for the race. But the final list only consists of 40 horses, so like every year there will be two scratching, after which the final list is usually declared around 2 to 3 days before the race. For the Grand National 2010, the first and the second scratchings are going to be on 2^nd of March and 23^rd of March respectively. The final confirmation is going to be on 5^th of April and thereafter, the final listing is officially going to be announced on the 8^th of April.

With the race date growing closer every day, everyone’s busy predicting the favorite for this year. As a matter of fact, some people are already placing bets. But that’s a major risk, because the horses aren’t even shortlisted yet!

The words Cheltenham Festival bring to mind scores of people packing the stands, screaming the infamous Cheltenham roar, and praying that theirs is the bet that will make them as famous as the horses that have won the race. Cheltenham Racecourse, Prestbury Park in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire is the home of the event and has been through the ages, making it the home of National Hunt racing in the UK. What makes this venue a historical landmark as well, is the fact that every single edition of this event has taken place at the same venue at Prestbury Park.

The first edition of the Cheltenham Festival was held in 1902, and almost a hundred subsequent editions of the Cheltenham Festival have captivated our hearts and minds since (the Cheltenham Festival wasn’t held during the two world war years and in 2001, where an outbreak of foot and mouth disease prevented it from being held). 1904 is a historical year for the Cheltenham Festival, since the Cheltenham Gold Cup was introduced for the first time, under the name of the National Hunt Steeplechase. This event, traditionally held on the last day of the festival, breaks all records for attendance, prize money and bets placed etc and is the most prestigious race at the Cheltenham Festival. But it is not the only Championship race held at the festival, the Champion Hurdle, the Queen Mother Champion Race and the Stayers Hurdle all taking their rightful place amongst horse racing’s elite races.

It’s crazy hard to find good Valentine’s Day gifts for men! You want to show him you love him, but getting him a teddy bear or flowers just doesn’t do it. You don’t want to be too cheesy and you want to show him that you know what kind of stuff he likes! So look around his stuff. What does he have a lot of? Then look through that stuff and think of something that he hasn’t got of the same theme! Like if he likes comic books, then look at what kind of comic books and then see if he has a mug, blanket, poster, figurine etc, I’m sure that he would like any of those gifts. Another example could be that he likes hockey, like my boyfriend and many of yours I assume! My boyfriend is an Ottawa Senator’s fan. A couple years ago for Valentine’s Day I got him a Senator’s blanket, mug and two tickets to a Rangers/Senators game in New York City! Now I know that sounds like I spent a lot, but we had already planned the trip (which we split) so I just got the game tickets and the memorabilia! He was so thrilled! This just goes to show you that you can get anything for Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t have to Valentine’s Day themed!
