Looks like insufficient support :(
A shame really. I would have thought you'd be able to get 40 entries at least.

'fraid so. If we'd have hit 20 we could have given everyone two horses and halved the prize money, but as things stand I think it's a no-goer.

If anyone's disappointed by that, most of the big bookies are betting on the race with any profits going to the NHS:



Good luckl!

Walk In The Mill went well for me each way last year. I would have backed him this year too.

I tried to walk in The Mill the other evening but it was closed due to Coronavirus. :cry:

Any Second Now for me with Magic of Light also given a chance.

Never thought i would ever see the day when cartoon horse racing would feature on live national sports coverage. Strange times indeed.

They first “ran” a computer race in 1967 when we had restrictions on racing due to foot and mouth disease. It was crap

2nd and staying on well. That bit was credible but how did they choose the fallers ?

No horses or jockeys hurt

Its a poor effort from exeweb but in these difficult times I can understand.

As an aside, how many active members do we have on exeweb?

£10 a pop was a tad expensive.
