I've not looked to see what price it is, or if it's worth betting on a win or for a place.
EDIT: Just checked, it's a small field of runners, so a place would only be paid on the second finisher, and with a price of 3/1 it would be only worth betting on the horse to win. Looking at the price of the other runners, I'd suggest it isn't worth backing.

However, being women, they don't want men to actually find them attractive based on the amount of cleavage they're showing as that makes them feel cheap.

is the theory that goes "if I dress more revealingly, men are going to notice my keen mind and dazzling personality".
