The Gambling Nun12 Apr 2007
This weekend the Grand National will take place at Aintree and it is when some of us make a once yearly flutter on the horses. Joining the punters this year, like most years, will be a Catholic nun from Glasgow. Sister Rita Dawson is a member of the Sisters of Charity and is also a top tipster – she once predicted the winning horse three years running. None of the money is hers, and all the winnings go to the hospice where she has worked for nearly twenty years. She joins Jenni to give her tips for this year’s race.
