You may remember our recent experiment to try to see how amateurs would compare with professionals when it came to choosing stocks and shares. The most successful - admittedly over a very short period - was a four year old girl, Tia Laverne. She chose entirely at random and beat the stockbroker and the astrologist.
So, with it being Grand National day today - we invited her back again. How would her tips compare with the pros?
Picking horses who's names she liked the sound of, Tia went for:
-
"You're Agoodun" (currently at odds of around 33-1) and
- "Moral Support" (12-1).
Daily Mirror Astrologist Jonathon Cainer also went for
- "You're Agoodun" as well as
- "Blowing Wind" (25-1),
While the 大象传媒's racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght - obviously bowing to Tia's racing insight - stuck with
- "You're Agoodun"
- and his first choice "Earthmover" (20-1).
After her interview with John in the Today studio - she was given a signed photograph and left the building muttering ¨who was that man?¨.
Post Race Update
The Grand National result was a bit of a disappointment for Tia and the other tipsters, although Jonathan Cainer did select the third placed horse:
1. Red Marauder (33/1)
2. Smarty (16/1)
3. Blowing Wind (16/1)
4. Papillon (14/1).
