There's a good chance Grand Canyon was NZ bred - a fair few of Kent's horses were sourced from that country. As for Buckingham Palace I really cannot say.
Suluk - 18 victories at Southwell between 1990 & 1993 give Suluk the post-war record for the greatest number of wins over hurdles by a horse at the same track.

Never Bend
The percentage take of the overall bookmakers odds
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_bookmaking
(personally I think they should declare odds based on the bet required to return 100
eg
evens = 50
4 to 1 = 20
4/6 = 60
that way you would just add the odds to get the total overround.
I saw that 5 had been put down in the first two days .
