Well, today's the big day, the big race.
gilpin25 and I have been scouring the internet for somewhere those of you outside the UK can watch online, with, we thought, limited success.
Then we found this . You have to create a username and password, and we're not 100% sure it'll work outside the UK (since the BBC one doesn't), but it might be worth a try if you'd like to watch your horses. If anyone knows of a satellite or cable channel in the US showing the race, please let us know and we'll pass it on. There's commentary
here and some articles from the good old Beeb
here.
The race kicks off at 4.15pm BST, the latest odds are
here, and we'll get the list of who's won (and hopeful some footage of the race if we can find it on YouTube ;)) up as soon as we can.
I hope you're all properly attired with the requisite number of thongs....
Good luck. May the horse be with you (and yes, I know I did that joke the other day, but I was so chuffed with myself for thinking it - especially as I've never seen Star Wars - I thought I'd give it another outing ;)).
ETA: Build up on the BBC has just started! Gird your thongs.
