Blue Square Bet Stewards' Cup It's the summer draw that everyone looks forward to and at Blue Square Bet HQ this morning the top 68 horses in the weights for the 2012 renewal of the Blue Square Bet Stewards' Cup were paired with the 68 clubs that make up the Blue Square Bet Premier, North and South. The bookmaker which sponsors the three Football Conference divisions, allocate a horse from their prestigious Glorious Goodwood race to every club. The horse which wins the valuable six furlong sprint - which takes place at the Sussex track at 3.55 on Saturday (live on Channel 4) - will earn one club a cash windfall on the eve of the new season. Blue Square Bet will give the club that 'owns' the winner £2000 plus the equivalent of a £100 bet at the Blue Square Bet SP on their runner. Last year Workington from the Blue Square Bet North scooped a huge £2700 when favourite Hoof It scored under Kieren Fallon at a Blue Square Bet SP of 7/1! It's a wide open race this year and Blue Square Bet's current market has eight horses competing for favouritism at 14/1. Hoof It's connections have swerved a repeat bid for the prize but last year's second placed horse Tax Free stands his ground quoted at 16/1 for Blue Square Bet South team Welling United. Last season's third placed horse Mac's Power is one of those vying for the position of market leader and he has been paired with Gainsborough Trinity of the Blue Square Bet North. A random draw was made at Blue Square's offices on Tuesday morning and the top 68 entries in the race were allocated between the clubs. A maximum of 28 runners will go to post on Saturday, but there will be an extra chance to win for any clubs who miss out on the main event. A special consolation race will be run on the same day. The Get Your Bet On At Bluesq.com Stewards' Sprint Stakes will go off at 2.05 (also live on Channel 4) and will contain 28 horses which didn't make the cut for the original race. Any club with a horse in the consolation race will win £1000 if their runner is successful, with the extra boost of the equivalent winnings from a £100 bet on that horse at the exclusive Blue Square Bet SP. The full draw is as follows: CLUB - HORSE ALFRETON- Nasri ALTRINCHAM - Advanced BARROW - Noverre To Go BASINGSTOKE TOWN - Bajan Tryst BATH CITY - Starwatch BILLERICAY - Elusivity BISHOP'S STORTFORD - Shropshire BOREHAM WOOD - Atlantic Sport BOSTON UNITED - Piazza San Pietro BRACKLEY - Chilli Green BRADFORD PA - Head of Steam BRAINTREE - Desert Law BROMLEY - Thunderball CAMBRIDGE UNITED - Whaileyy CHELMSFORD CITY - Oneladyowner CHESTER - Soap Wars COLWYN BAY - Hallelujah CORBY TOWN - Jamesie DARTFORD - Tioman Legend DORCHESTER - Bayleyf DOVER ATHLETIC - Seal Rock DROYSLDEN - Valery Borzov EASTBOURNE BOROUGH - Dungannon EASTLEIGH - Head Space EBBSFLEET UNITED - Fratellino FARNBOROUGH - Fast Shot FOREST GREEN - Palace Moon GAINSBOROUGH TRINITY - Mac's Power GATESHEAD - Top Cop GLOUCESTER CITY - Baby Strange GRIMSBY TOWN - Dickie's Lad GUISELEY - Mince HALIFAX TOWN - Louis The Pious HARROGATE TOWN - Alben Star HAVANT & WATERLOOVILLE - Moscow Eight HAYES & YEADING - Corporal Maddox HEREFORD UNITED - Seeking Magic HINCKLEY UNITED - Hawkeyethenoo HISTON - Novellen Lad HORNCHURCH - Sacrosanctus HYDE - Breathless Kiss KIDDERMINSTER HARRIERS - Lutine Bell LINCOLN CITY - Catfish LUTON TOWN - Oasis Dancer MACCLESFIELD TOWN - Waffle MAIDENHEAD - El Viento MANSFIELD TOWN - Elusive Prince NEWPORT COUNTY - Confessional NUNEATON - Klynch OXFORD CITY - Ancient Cross SALISBURY CITY - Es Que Love SOLIHULL MOORS - Fair Value SOUTHPORT - Fitz Flyer STAINES TOWN - Imperial Guest STALYBRIDGE - Cape Classic STOCKPORT COUNTY - Lui Rei SUTTON UNITED - Jedward TAMWORTH - Swiss Cross TELFORD - Borderlescott TONBRIDGE ANGELS - Victoire de Lyphar TRURO - Johannes VAUXHALL MOTORS - Grissom WELLING UNITED - Tax Free WESTON-SUPER-MARE - Lexi's Hero WOKING - Esprit de Midas WORCESTER CITY - La Fortunata WORKINGTON - Shifting Star WREXHAM - Humidor The official declarations for the race will be made at 11am on Thursday morning.

Blue Square have sponsored a race at Goodwood on Saturday and BSP, BSS and BSN clubs are all allocated a horse. If the horse wins then the club wins £ 2,000 and also gets £ 100 quid to put on their horse.

Apparently we have been allocated the horse that finished second in the equivalent race last year.

The name of this nag is.........TAX FREE

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Its 16/1 at the moment, with four placed at 14/1. Worth £5 I'd say.

The race was won by Hawkeyethenoo, so looks like it'll be Hinckley receiving the cash this year.
