Remember we had a thread about this last year, and all it descended to was an argument about how cruel this race can be is (I love Horse Racing but I agree unfortunately...). Anyone going to have a bet? I suspect most people will, either via conventional methods or a sweepstake at work/between friends etc.

 

Here are my selections anyway, and the price I got. Don't expect any return on my small investment but who knows, in order of the amount I've put on them.

 

Cerium 66/1 EW (My main bet)

Dream Alliance 40/1 EW

Flintoff 66/1 EW

State of Play 16/1 EW

Black Apalacchi 14/1 WIN

Hello Bud 50/1 EW

 

 

 

I really like the look of Beat The Boys.

 

Cloudy Lane, Maljmar, Cerium and Palypso De Creek are the other horses i've gone for. Long-shots, but the race is so open and anything can happen. I think there's good value in all those horses.
