2nd- 7 points

Cheers Gessa

It's like the Melbourne Cup in Oz. People who wouldn't even think about betting on the horses on any other occasion have a flutter.

Any more players. You don't need to know anything about horse racing, just 4 names that may mean something to you will do.

I've amended second place to 7 points.

In the event of a draw, then the player with the highest priced horse in the first 5 will be declared the winner.
