Here's what I'm really hoping - that people don't put stipulations or disclaimers on songs, like they're too obscure, not obscure enough, should've chosen another from the same album, and just judge song vs. song.

I was kinda expecting that response after I posted it and thought about it.

I said the same thing, but no one responded. I just heard crickets chirping.

I said the same thing, but no one responded. I just heard crickets chirping. I call it the Hatz factor. After every song vote, he gives 10 reasons why he chose a song and might get to the fact that he genuinely liked it or didn't three or four sentences into his explanation. I'm exaggerating, Dave ---- sorta.

THE INAUGURAL PRELUDIN CUP - Form Guide
1. Goat Boy A perennial favourite with the punters, this colt has shown form over many starts and all tracks. A real chance if amongst the lead pack at the turn for home. 4 - 1.
2. skope A sprinter with a penchant for firm tracks, the distance could be an issue. Watch if it's a slow-paced run. 15 - 1.
3. DarknessFish An unpredictable runner with frequent gate issues, appears outclassed here. His antics in the mounting yard make him a crowd favourite, but hard to see him place here. Needs a miracle. 101 - 1.
4. Coan A proven runner who on his day can match it with the best. Good over the distance, and a real chance if given his head and a good barrier start. 6 - 1.
5. Ranking Ted The Scotch bolter has shown signs of tiredness in his last few starts; hopefully his trainer has given him time over autumn to recuperate and get back to his best. A real chance on a good track. 10 - 1.
6. Space Burger The Canadian stayer has shown good form eaely in his career, but some unsettled showings and a tendency to drop off unexpectedly leave cause for concern. A brave pick but has the pedigree. 20 - 1.
7 Chairman Cup King The favourite, and rightly so. Proven many times that he can handle a range of distances and fields, should be thereabouts when the whips are cracking. Look for the tan silks on the podium once more. 2 - 1
8. Count Machuki The US champion campaigner who has looked a little off the pace in recent starts; knows how to win though, and if in condition will prove a handful. 9 - 1 9. Dayodead A sprightly colt whose exuberant temper is generally a plus; will have trouble with the classy stayers in this field though. Needs more work at this distance. 60 - 1.
10. Al A yearling who has made a promising start to his career; largely untested at this distance and track though. A good barrier draw may help. 50 - 1.
11. Hatz A seasoned veteran in this class; despite being plagued by late barrier starts, always tries hard to run his own race. His connections prefer to stay away from big-money backers, which has ultimately affected his raceday performance. Midfield finish likely. 45 - 1.
12. Sloopjohnc This veteran US stayer has built his long career on no-nonsense dependable performances but without many outstanding results. More suited to drier tracks and smaller fields. 40 - 1.
13. Lokie This evergreen Canadian filly is a warm crowd favourite, though still to reach the heights that many punters think her capable of. Consistency in the long events seems the main issue; on her day a good chance. 22 - 1.
[14. Heifer - **scratched** This lively Australian colt has shown plenty of dash at times; still learning his craft though, and may need more work on controlling his unexpected decision making. 60 - 1.]
14. Inspector Norse A well-trained and dependable colt who shown plenty over his career without reaching the absolute peak of his abilities according to track watchers. Given a bit of luck this could be his time. 18 - 1
15. fange This colt from Down Under has shown good form in recent years as well; loves to run and is comfortable wirh most handicaps, including his own temperament. Strong bet for a place. 12 - 1.
16. Fonz An English colt who loves heavy tracks; recent starts have shown he enjoys the fray but needs more development and pre-race training. Hard to see in this class. 90- 1.
17. oleander median A well-trained and experienced European colt who has shown good form at times without the consistency needed at this level. A good barrier gate may help, but could struggle over the distance. 55 - 1.
18. Osgood This classy Spanish stallion has excellent breeding but is still largely finding his feet at these distances. Could surprise if it all comes together. 45 - 1.
19. pandascream An unknown quantity to some extent, as this country colt has a skittish tendency and has been known to be distracted by tennis balls in his line of sight. Hard to back. 150 - 1.
20. C*** Named after the word most commonly used to describe him; only the bravest punters are likely to back him. 151 - 1.

Can I have some each-way action on that 100-1? Just so my inevitable top 3 finish pays something? I won't finish first, my selection won't be quite tedious enough to win. I reckon that Ange fella will manage that.
Btw, Dayodead at 60-1. He's like the alt-rock Googa, those odds should be much longer.

I'm putting all my earthly possessions on Fange at 15-1. If it comes off I'll be a billionaire and need never spend time seeking "entertainment" on Preludin ever again. I can just buy the whole of Equador and have a party!
Don't let me down Ange.
