The Grand National is the biggest race of the year, with even horse racing novices tending to get involved for their one annual flutter.
Saturday's race sees 40 horses go to the line and we have already got professional tips for you as well as a pinstickers' guide , helping you choose to either follow the trends or go with the advice of those who know.
We also have a sweepstake kit , so everybody in your office can have a small interest in the year's biggest race.
But what of Friday - Ladies' Day?
Well it's another of the best-known racing days in the calendar, the more down-to-earth (and possibly more fashionable) cousin of Royal Ascot's top-hatted Ladies Day.
