    Jumps Horse of The Year

    1/4 Big Bucks
    3/1 Kauto Star
    8/1 Sprinter Sacre
    16/1 Synchronised
    33/1 Finians Rainbow

    This is voted for by the public. Is Kauto Star not a certainty?

    For me it's sprinter sacre, it's a long time since I was exited about seeing a horse run again.

    Judging by the sample here sprinter should be 1/3. Get on.

    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Sprinter is the best of the year, but i agree Synchronised would be the bet.

    Has to be the Beautiful Monster. Kauto has had his time in the limelight. Sprinter is the future and is more exciting than anything ive seen in the past 5 years. I imagine C&H will choose Big Bucks as horse of the year, but i think the racing public are a bit bored of him now.

    Have to say I voted for BB - Kauto would have been a close 2nd with Syncronised 3rd. SS is good but they are also asking for the vote to be for a horse who has raised the profile of racing and BBs win at Aintree even made the regular news not just the sports bit. And if Syncronised wins then its more fuel to the fire about banning the National based on what might have been next year.

    Not saying he should be the winner,but it is a joke that Hunt Ball is not in the list.

    I'm split between Sprinter and Kauto. Has to be Kauto really though. What he did in the Betfair and King George was truly remarkable for a horse of his age given what had happened the previous season.

    I've got a sneaking suspicion Sprinter Sacre might win this award in future...
    I'm clever enough to ask the questions i'm too stupid to answer
