The commentary suggested that the rank outsider won at 4/1. In fact (and I'm not kidding) he was returned at 7/2, giving an overround of around 180%. What a wonderful way of getting new racegoers interested in betting, and then fleecing the dopey bastards.

Don't get me started on the stewards decision to let the result stand. Are they having a laff?
 
Prancer a complete non-jigger. Missed the break and stayed on stronger.

Surely No.1 disqualled for being off-course? I'm writing to the BRRA (British Reindeer Racing Authority) to complain right now!

That was good fun, Bruce, thanks. Some nice side links, too - check out the late INDIAN CHARLIE, sire of UNCLE MO, at the Airdrie Stud this year. Very powerful front on him.

It sets a dangerous precident that they paid out on the winner. Punters up at down the country are reaching deeply into their pockets for Scotsirish receipts. He was a morale winner too.
