GODOLPHIN 7 STARS
 

Hi all,

The Godolphin 7 stars competition is open for registration again.

For those that aren't aware, it's a competition run by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rasheed Al Maktoum. You pick 7 horses (one from each stable) and you are awarded points on their performance over a number of months. The prizes are well worth it:

This year’s prizes are:


1st : US$100,000, plus two first-class return air tickets with Emirates Airline to Dubai and seven nights at the Burj Al Arab Hotel.
2nd : US$50,000
3nd : US$30,000
4th : US$15,000
5th : US$5,000

There are also consolation prizes if you don't win the competition but are the points leader for your country.

You have to register, but it's free!

There are around 22 days left before registration closes.

Hopefully 3rd time lucky for me CP.

Me too Mark ;-)

Hey, it might be fun to list our selections here AFTER registration closes and compare points in a running tally.

Just for fun.

Will do.

7 Stars has closed now for registration, so here's my stable:

BARN NAME HORSE NAME

May they run like the wind.

And here's mine

May their wind be a little more runnier than your's !!

Interesting Mark that we don't have one selection the same.

I picked mine simply by using the highest Timeform rating and for unraced, highest price paid.

Will be interesting to see how they go.

I used a much more scientific method.
I picked the names I thought sounded fast or like good horses names!, plus Doyen was my best for last year.

Didn't a horse named Filibuster race in Australia a few decades ago?

From memory :) 1870s / 1880s Chrome.
