Those are some stories Party!

You could make a small fortune just asking which short favourites won't win.
Instead of asking for a name, ask will such and such win.

I've heard many stories about ouija boards and also clairvoyants.

Here's a story for you, not racing related.

As a kid, I had a pet budgie.
My father used to hand feed it cereal to get it tame and taught it to speak.
He used to call it birdie birdie.
That budgie only ever said birdie birdie.

My father then passed away from an operation that went wrong, amongst his ailments was a kidney problem.

Being a very spiritual person, but not religious, some weeks later my mother was recommended by a friend to a very good clairvoyant.

This clairvoyant said many things that were spot on, but they have a way of manipulating and testing if they are on the right track, so I insisted on hearing the cassette tape of the consultation.

I should also say that I am a sceptic when it comes to clairvoyants.

My mother said "just listen!"

Without any information the clairvoyant says "I see a yellow feather, and who is bertie?"
"Yes, I'm seeing lots of yellow feathers floating down and bertie, bertie."

How could she confuse the name, we worked it out.
My father had a strong Irish accent.

A week later the budgie died, the vet told us it was kidney trouble
