Racehorse TALK

Since I regularly participate in the various comps, it is only fair that I'll put one on as well. I did it last year and I think it is fun to do it this year as well.

Rules:

1) Nominate horses who carry saddlecloth 1 & 24 in the Melbourne Cup

2) Entries close Friday night. Any entries dated Saturday are not accepted.

3) One entry per participant, no editions allowed.

Prize:

Half share of $50 five horse box trifecta on Melbourne Cup. The winner can pick three horses, I will pick two.
