That unaspected 8th house sun...hope there won't be a high mortality rate this year.

Yes Deb, it was my 2nd pick...
Regarding colors (for Backstage) I think they do not fit in my opinion, but name comes at first place, actually I did not find anyother horse where name and color would fit with Pl in Can, so I pick up upon name only.

How about My Will.. is that pluto in cap in leo's (5th) house? Black, white and red. Seems to fit ur/sat opp across 1/7 also??

Razor Royale.. good colours? That sharp point to mars in leo? Is pluto sharp and cutting?

Character Building? Any thoughts?

Combining the Moon in PI and Mars in Leo there is the outsider Piraya. The colours are red on white and it seems that a Piraya is a form of pirana fish

Hi GB... given that the race often starts late, the next planet that campanus 5th aspects is moon in pi in 6th... so I think it's a very good idea to look at that symbolism.

Piraya is quite far down the list so may not run on the day. Hold that thought and check nearer the time. I agree with the symbolism though.

Backstage fits to my mind (again). And the colours are good? light blue, watery? Moon in pisces is peregrine, so weak. Doesn't promote itself? Prefers backstage? And 6th being in aversion to the 1st.. behind the scenes?

Moon separates from conj to neptune in aquarius...one way reception... Dream Alliance keeps calling and jockey colours are grey..good colour for moon, pisces and 6th? but with Chiron there, should it be Nightmare Alliance?? haha
Moon applies by trine to the mercury/venus conj ( taurus) across the 9th house of dreams...that looks pretty fitting to me! It ties in the chart ruler too.

Excellent notice, this is very risky race regrding kick off, only 5 minute later we have sextile with Moon in 6 house.

Moon means some mare, but on some other sites we have only Pomme Tiepy as female horse in this race, but there is not colors of jockey, but on this link

there is not Pomme Tiepy at now???

Hi Gocca, but do you agree backstage fits pluto in cap AND moon in pisces.. or am I pushing it? : )

Pomme means apple.. Rex Bills says that's venus. Can't find that horse anwhere, also notice Airforce One has fallen off the list so I guess they are non-runners?

I found this thread about last year's race:
http://skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4279

Campanus 5th to Venus Rx in aries in 7th.. Mon Mome means "my kid" or even "my brat".. naughty kid : ).. which fites even better. The trainer was Venetia Williams, only 2nd female trainer to win ever.

So, if it is moon.. maybe we must find another female connection if there are no mares running?

Hi Goca,

I don't think that link lists all the horses. Currently there are 65 runners but since the maximum limit is 40, we will have to check nearer the time, as PA has said, to see which ones have dropped out. Of those mentioned so far, Razor Royale is a non-runner.

Pomme Tiepy is owned by Mrs S Ricci so I looked her up and her racing colours appear to be pink with bright green spots.

So the colours belong to the owner? I didn't know that : ) Thanks Ficina.

And the race starts during jupiter hour if that's relevant.

Ficina, thanks for clariry that about runners! Ok, we will wait!

Hi Gocca, but do you agree backstage fits pluto in cap AND moon in pisces.. or am I pushing it? : )

In my opinion neigther Backstage nor Piraya fits colors.

If we look Moon in Pi, later kick off, Dream Alliance could be the right one. Dream (Pi) Alliance (Moon ruler of 11H). Color fit - silver.
