The 2:50 at Kelso has only 5 declared runners, so let's see what they are up to. The racecard is at
http://www.racingpost.co.uk/horses/card.sd?race_id=406892&r_date=2006-5-9&flag=1&cards=1.
Date: May 9, 2006
Time: 2:50 pm
Place: Kelso, UK
Race angles:
Asc: 18 deg Vir, ruled by Mer
MC: 14 deg Gem, ruled by Mer
Des: 18 deg Pis, ruled by Jup
IC: 14 deg Sag, ruled by Jup
Runners' birthdates:
Ever Present 25May'98
Mounthooley 20Apr'96
Roobihoo 7Jul'99
Standin Obligation 24Jun'99
Brundeanlaws 22May'01
Natal Mercury (race MC ruler) contacting race Mercury (6 deg) or angles (3 deg):
Ever Present: tri Asc (1)
Mounthooley: tri Asc (2)
Roobihoo: squ Mer (0)
Standin Obligation: -
Brundeanlaws: -
Natal Mars contacting rulers of race angles (Mercury, Jupiter - 6 deg) or angles (3 deg):
Ever Present: -
Mounthooley: -
Roobihoo: -
Standin Obligation: -
Brundeanlaws: -
Remaining contenders: Ever Present, Mounthooley, Roobihoo. The lack of support by natal Mars is not a good sign.
Natal Moon contacting race Moon (9 deg) or angles (3 deg):
Ever Present: tri Mon (7)
Mounthooley: tri Mon (6)
Roobihoo: -
Race Fortuna's aspects (3 deg, except 6 deg to Moon):
Ever Present: tri Sun (2), tri Mar (5), con Nep (4), sex Plu (1)
Mounthooley: squ Sun (5), tri Mon (5), con Ura (1)
Roobihoo: opp Mer (3), squ Mar (5), squ Jup (4), con Nep (2)sex Plu (2)
My call would be:
1. Ever Present 2/1
2. Roobihoo 9/1
3. Mounthooley 40/1
The reason why this is interesting is because Standin Obligation is the heavy favourite at 4/7, so the rest of the field only stand a 36% chance. It may be that astrological factors cannot overcome this huge disadvantage in favour of Ever Present, we'll see.
The other possibility is to look to natal Saturn in place of Mars since this race is over 3m1f. Only Roobihoo and Standin Obligation receive support from angle rulers or angles, so in that case the call would be 1. Standin Obligation, 2. Roobihoo. Again, experience is the best teacher, and we only need to wait a half hour to find out which influences were the strongest.
