No Billy but Saffie got listed

Very logical Clyde, and a deserving winner in any year.
But it's a public vote. |

Both Saffie and Amy being backed more because they possess a specific feature...actually rhymes with Amy's name (rude sorry)

According to rtv, the bbc or other legacy media didn't even acknowledge it happened on their broadcasts. Aside from everyone getting awfully giddy on the live show.
There were horse racing people writing emails in to say how good her price was at 16-1 and they were having plenty on. Dimwits. Female is a massive advantage in current day spoty obviously, but I saw Amy Hunt was part of the pile on moaning about Sydney Sweeney in the media this week. She's like the weird science product for the bbc, a grauniad poster girl. Whereas Saffie was on the front page of the Sunday Telegraph. |

Littler won't be 16-1 if he wins all 10 majors this year. Big if though and he was robbed by a bbc golden girl 2 years ago. Split track vote and split footy could see him go close. The problem for Kerr is no one will see him him now til December whereas Hunt will be promoted everywhere. Kane Ballon d'Or is only other x factor.

I've cashed up unless a pressing opportunity arises (like AO Saffie green). But as has been covered countless times, the bbc picks their winner. What are the chances of them picking Littler? Slim picking, pardon the double pun. Harry seems pretty unlikely too. That doesn't mean obviously money can't be made from the market thinking people have a better chance than the reality (such as the f1 dude in '25). The ballers this year, case in point.
I would genuinely have liked to have seen Billy listed for the trading opportunity, but he needed that wow moment of Bow Echo winning the Breeders' Cup to crown his championship season, obviously that's now off the table. |

Saffie potentially a runner in this is the biggest joke really - even worse than Doyle, as she's 8th currently in the jockeys championship. David Egan is ahead of her, wonder what price he'd be in this.
Yes, she won one classic ride. So did several riders this year, who funnily aren't listed. Plus, it's not even a sport. |

TBH I couldn't see the beeb actually pushing for a horse racing winner - they hate it these days.

By:
What are the chances of them picking Littler? They'd be pleased if he won imo, because they want young viewers. If they didn't want him winning they wouldn't have shortlisted him in 2024 or 2025. What they don't want is an undeserving winner with the result in danger of being discredited by a campaign which is why it's now 6 people.

They didn't mind him winning in the break out year, as he was a cultural phenom. I'd argue pretty much impossible to leave out, and a tolerable winner. But obviously, he was given a back seat on the night. If they push him as number one 1st choice this year I will quit the forum for 6 months. Unfortunately for many perhaps, as it's not going to happen!

A British child chess prodigy has become the youngest player in history to earn the woman grandmaster (WGM) title.
Bodhana Sivanandan, 11, from north-west London, secured her third and final WGM norm - a certified title-level performance - while representing England at the 46th Chess Olympiad in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) confirmed. It is the latest milestone in a remarkable rise for the schoolgirl, who has already become Britain's youngest women's chess champion and the youngest person to represent England internationally in any sport. Is chess a sport? BBC article, so noted. |

If the shortlist was 50 id still make her 1000 to be on it
