[Robareid]

I'll take

[Tomsta666]

Ballabrigs - Last years winner! and it won me money last year too! Can lightning strike twice?

Shakalakaboomboom - I enjoy NBA Jam, therefore I enjoy this name.

On his own - Forever alone, and apparantly according to the racing that was on telly today, this has a good chance.

Sunny Hill bay - who doesn't love a sunny hill bay?


I've got a pound on each one of these to win! Also got a pound on Mon Mome too, but since were only allowed 4 for this, something had to give.

GOOD LUCK PEEPS!!!

I don't really know yet. I still got to study the guide - the jockeys, trainers, age of horse, etc. But, Synchronised won me £100 when it won the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month, so I might just have to go for it again. Then again, I rarely bet on favourites, and it's looking to be the fave. Balls. But, I don't think many horses have won both, so that could rule it out for me.

Not really pal. I won the NFL regular season contest by luck. Which is a bit of a factor in this as well.

How about the 4 reserve horses? lol

You've got time pal.
