[Gayle]

Yes, I've decided to have a go - it's the only race of the year that I do but it's kind of a tradition. My Grandad used to let me choose a horse from a very early age and then if it won he'd give me the money. I was never very rich but there used to be a horse called Golden Gayle that got placed in the top four a couple of times so I had good pocket money then.

It's not something that I'm encouraging my kids to do though and I haven't let them choose a horse this year.
