Hi Riaan
Not sure how the punter doesn't benefit?
Dividends are bigger with only 3 place dividends. World Pools are more

Hey all you oldies that remember the different distances of the July from 1600 odd to 2000 then 2100 and now 2200 hoping it might change to 2300 soon
The horse that impressed me the most in the gallops was The Real Princes companion, what a mover Jock did well to hide him
I've eaten ,drunk and slept the July all these years and nothing will change that it's the greatest race in South Africa and the punters love it
Pick 6, PA on card sounds good

Have to direct this question to Donald and Hilton as Cecil was still in short pants with a pocket filled with marbles at this time
Wondering about Beau Art. Winner of the July in 1980s or so
Was this a Natal horse that got kicked out of Natal because he still was a 4 year old maiden at the end of the season
No 5 year old maidens allowed to race in Natal in the Golden Era
And then Beau Art came back as a 6 year old to win the July
Could be way off but hope to be straightened

Hi Richard
Research shows that yes, Politician and Pocket Power only two to win Met-July in same year.
Yes, Eight On Eighteen will make history as only 3yo to do same - if he wins!

Mr Ed, please help settle an argument between two ballies. Were Politician and Pocket Power the only two horses to win the Met and July (not July-Met) in the same year? And will Eight On Eighteen become the first three-year-old to do this?
Politician and Pocket Power both also pulled off the Met-July-Met treble.
There were others like London News and Kommetdieding who won the July and then the Met, but only two I can think of that did it the other way around.
The last time I was this excited about a horse in the July, I was done in by Jackson in 2012 - for more than I care to remember. Trainer Crawford made him the best bet on the card in one of the panel discussions which made me more confident. But he decided to do the moonwalk in the straight and Pomodoro, who has two sons in next Saturday's big race, turned my dreams into spaghetti

Mr T"heodore John Roelofsz, good morning to you. Just as a heads up, and you might already be aware that Hollywoodbets does offer 6 places on the July. I do realize it's a rather different bet to your suggested

Trevor, if you think horse was not in a position to finish second
We suggest what you do, is hire a cinema, like how Frankie does, and watch the finish on the big screen
Maybe, just maybe , it will show
