..And I might be too late, but place your bets for this year's
As in years past, bragging rights go to the reader who picks the best finisher. Everyone can pick two horses. Follow the "Nags" tag for highlights from past races. Results will be posted on Sunday
For what it is worth, I pick BOB HALL and COMPLY OR DIE.

Excellent! I had to use a few rules to narrow the field:
1) No overtly French names
2) No names that I can't pronounce or define
3) No Rolling Stones songs
4) No g-damn snow references
With that in mind, my picks are:
Simon to win, due to the natty polkadots
Iron Man as my longshot, because this was Ozzie's finest hour.
I call on a grey to win, but I'm too lazy to figure out which of these is grey. So with that, I am calling:
Win - Comply or Die (sorry for stealing yours); and
Place - a longshot - but this name warrants mention - Mr. Pointment. WTF?
I'm in for:
SNOWY MORNING
and
NAUNTON BROOK.
I'll let my racehorse family better half trounce me, should she be inclined to wager down.
and she apparently does...
Baily Breeze (of course) and Butler's Cabin are my picks this year. We're shooting for two years in a row here.
CLOUDY LANE
&
SNOWY MORNING
Because I'm obsessed with weather.
My money has already been put down at the bookies on Butler's Cabin as it is going to win, so to hedge my bets I'll have a different pair for this sweep. So I am going for Bewley's Berry and Cloudy Bay.
I'm backing Dondoire and Kelami.
Dondoire for the shrewd Irish trainer.
And Kelami because it sounds like a girl who might break my heart.
This year is sooooo easy.
Follow the usual rules.
Any horse with a yellow/green rider.
This year there are TWO. And they both have Y/G quarters which means they combine both my teams, City and Bristol rovers! yeah!!!
So, well, whatever thse horses are called I'll back them.
So that's 'Hedgehunter' and 'Cloudy Lane'.
Thank you very much.
I pick 'Fundamentalist' and 'Slim Pickings as my pair... what is the prize?
Will you deliver?
Am I now entered for the Nigerian Email Lottery with a $10,000 billion jackpot?
