PPower have priced it up:
1/4 Big Bucks
3/1 Kauto Star
8/1 Sprinter Sacre
16/1 Synchronised
33/1 Finians Rainbow

Before seeing this market, I reckoned Big Bucks no more likely to win than Kauto Star (sentimental voting) and Sprinter Sacre (just plain brilliant in a proper division). Have PP got this market wrong or am I just talking crap?

Dont think the odds are correct but do think BB will win it on the basis he has broken several records this season.

Finians at 33/1 is insulting but he is up against BB

Is this the public vote one? if so, those odds look crazy. I know BB won it last year but still.... I won't be voting for him Wink

Yes, its voted. You can vote on the RP site. I know BB is a true great, but no matter how long this winning run goes on, he will never have the same popularity (and quite rightly so) as Kauto Star. The more I think about it, the more I think KS should be odds on.

I'm sure you're right ACS, especially as Kauto was repsonsible for the two emotional highpoints of the season for many/most. FWIW I think they've got the other 3 in the right order.

Kauto achievements were a while ago though whilst Big Bucks are fresh in the memory. Synchronised may get some sentimental votes given what happened.

Only 3 1/2 months ago Grin  I think you're right Synchronised will get a sympathy vote and do better than he would have otherwise but I doubt he'll win.

Haha I know it's only 3 1/2 months ago but the two big festivals will be on the forefront of everyone's mind.

It may be influenced by how much/if this is plugged on C4 racing and what spin they use. I know they have their own "peoples jumps award" where Kauto's Betfair chase is one of the nominees.
