Well let’s hope it stops the sim world as it is also one of the greatest in the sim. Carrying huge prizemoney, it has attracted a full field of 20 runners and what a field it is. Let’s take a look.

1. 07118 – Broadworld (Ruler of the World) Owned by lightng115 – Jockey – J. Ledwith – 37/1.

3yo colt taking on the marathon for the first time. Overall record 15-4-1-1 and banking $495k. Has struggled over the longer routes, so is big odds for a reason.
