I recall Rebel Rebellion was doing well and that is another one that skyrack, using Sepharial's method, mentioned, but I didn't understand the method and need to read it up. Saint Are, who I nearly put my small bet on, came second. I would have been really happy. Last edited by fleur on Sat Apr 11, 2015 4:06 pm, edited 1 time in total. Quote Sat Apr 11, 2015 3:58 pm

You put up the Saint Are chart - good enough. If it's not astronomically true, it's not astrologically true. Quote Sat Apr 11, 2015 4:06 pm

You put up the Saint Are chart - good enough. I had to decide between Saint Are and Al Co, and chose the wrong one. Saint Are might have won second place for other reasons than what I was looking at.

46 by skyrack Well it was good to see Sepharial's 100 year old method still going strong and finding the winner. And hats off to him. I find it an interesting method and one that seems to me quite "Arabic" in its device. I hope it has piqued your interest too. Quote Sat Apr 11, 2015 4:43 pm
47 by ModWasp Well done skyrack, excellent call. What is interesting is that four of the top five horses where all mentioned on this tread using different methods - and in what is probably the most difficult of all races to judge - professional punters don't go anywhere near this race, simply because it's so difficult to call. I think it's fair to say that applying astrology certainly gives one an advantage! 1st Many Clouds (2) L P Aspell 25/1 2nd Saint Are (24) P J Brennan 25/1 3rd Monbeg Dude (21) L Treadwell 40/1 4th Alvarado (37) Paul Moloney 20/1 5th Shutthefrontdoor (F) (7) A P McCoy 6/1 Verum e Quote Sat Apr 11, 2015 9:40 pm
