My gran has a budgie called "Bobby" so she says Rare Bob is going to win, I wonder what reasons other people have for picking their horse? ? ?

Some old scrote in a smoky back street bookies once told me to always back the horse with the 3rd and 4th letter the same - Ben Nevis, Hallo Dandy, Little Polveir, Bobbyjo, Ballabriggs...

When you look further, it is uncanny how many winners have 2 letters the same next to each other in their name, or their first and second names starting with the same letter: Grittar, West Tip, Miinnehoma, Lord Gyllene, Earth Summit, Papillon, Bindaree, Monty's Pass, Red Rum, Rhyme n Reason, Party Politics, Mon Mome

17 of the last 34 winners fit the above parameters, so it's an Even money shot. Haven't checked this year's field yet Laugh

Ooooops missed the bit about first & last names starting with the same letter so the following added:

Apt Approach ;  Mon Mome and Vic Venturi
