Depends. Are we talking Single Oxford, Double Oxford or Oxford Treble Bob? And is it Minor or Major?

Double Oxford Minor and there might be a competition, but the others just have too many places. Cambridge Surprise all the way.

It is many years since Dan Topolski, so I think Cambridge will probably sweep the board yet again :-(
The Oxford women had a dreadful start, seems they have not changed the modus operandi in the last 40 years (I can even remember it from when I was rowing).
The men were slightly better, but then I turned off as it was no fun.
I also think the event is far too "commercial" now. Decades ago it used to be mostly home-grown undergrads and postgrads (including PGCE students). These days there are far too many "internationals" and also far too many "Olympians".

So pleased Cambridge won both races. My Mum was a Cambridge girl (not Uni, just born and bred there) and so we have always supported Cambridge. Mum passed away last year, I’m sure she would have been pleased, we always used to watch it.

I think that’s been the situation for years now, and on the commentary they did say that there were quite a few oropke who were tejsticvrky mew to their g. I think one if the cox only took up rowing at university.

I thought the races were quite exciting this year, with the clashes and unexpected Cambridge dominance in the men’s race, which they thought was going to be a tight race.
