No, I was completely wrong, I bet on Al Co and he fell at the beginning of the race. Looked like a good Pisces horse too. 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.

You put up the Saint Are chart - good enough. :'
If it's not astronomically true, it's not astrologically true.

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.

I make wrong choices ever day with horse racing.

You highlighted the horse - good enough.

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.

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!
