I've gone with Delta Work, using MGMs 100% profit boost @ 36/1. I've read in a few places that he seems under the radar. Was 3rd in 2022 and doing well in 2023 before being unseated. Worth an e/w tickle for me.

I think the T&Cs on that are boost only applies to the win part, as opposed to their normal 10/20% boosts which I believe are both win and place.

Not only that they are often injured whilst being hit with a whip.

How anyone can support racing, (the only place you can see an animal being repeatedly hit with impunity).and still have a clear conscience is beyond me.

The guy at work today who did the sweepstake, who's into racing reckons Panda Boy. He comes from Langley though, so I'm going for Mahler Mission.

By "often", I think you mean "never"?

you can never eliminate the risk. Should we also ban motor racing?

The current design of the whip was developed with input from the RSPCA. The whip is foam-padded and energy absorbing, comprising a composite spine with a polymer surround, encased in thick foam padding.

They're not the western style lasso that the Lester piggotts used of old, and there are strict restrictions on how many times they are used with draconian bans if breached

one death is too many in horse racing and I have previously struggled with jump racing because of this and am much more of a flat racing man but they have made massive efforts to reduce the likelihood of this, and considerable efforts for this race alone too to the point it isn't really the test of endurance it used to be

Mr incredible 14=1 if he doesn't mess about
