It’s back – and he’s back. Yes we’re talking the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby which takes place this Saturday at the famous Curragh racecourse near Dublin.
And the ‘he’? The Moodie Tipster, of course, our infamous anonymous horse racing expert, whom, we hope, is going to guide one lucky reader towards a fabulous US$1 million prize.
Yes, once again Dubai Duty Free has not only agreed to sponsor the Derby itself but also our race prediction contest.
Anyone picking the race winner in our competition goes into a draw to win a ticket in the retailer’s ‘Millennium Millionaire’ raffle – offering the chance to win a million Dollars.
