There is a horse called Goffredo who is quoted in the sacred inner ring of those that know at 8 to 1 .

I shall therefore invest my five louis in the certain hope of seventy-five beautiful golden coins clinking into my hand . Come thou and do likewise . '' `` I 'm going to back Elodie , '' said Andrew .
