So who's betting what?

I'll have "0 on Master O'Reilly and Mahler, haven't decided on anything else yet.

I'll probably place a random bet, but I just think horse racing is sooo f*cking stupid. Worst sport ever? Possibly. I'd rather watch water polo.

Office random sweeps has given me Blue Monday and Sculptor, are they any good?

Post 9

Blue Monday: David Hayes is an awesome trainer, so never know with his horses.

Sculptor has been running out of its skin lately, so you haven't done too badly there a few analysts like it.

wouldn't hold my breath though...they are both "what if" horses really. But they do have some chance.
