The 2015 Derby is filling up fast, and with female applicants outnumbering males 2 to 1 it brings the question?
Where are all the boys?
The first four Mongol Derbies were won by the boys, but in 2013 the ladies came into ascendency. The first five finishers were girls, with 19 year old Lara Prior-Palmer taking the crown. In 2014 Sam Jones put her stamp on the derby, with the girls this time dominating the top 15.
Will 2015 be a chance for the chaps to win back some dignity or will the girls ride it home again? Are you a gent determined to wrestle back the title? Are you a lady equally determined to keep the title from their grasps?
Applications are still open...
