2013 Cheltenham Festival Tipping Comp.

[Traf]

Horwich ran this last year and I won it!

 

He hasn't the time to do it this year, so I'll do it if anyone's interested.

 

No fucking about with daft rules though, but we do need some rules!

 

1. One horse per race settled at Betfair SP.

2. Level 1pt stakes per horse to win or to place, or 0.5pts E/W

3. Cut off point for entries is 5 mins before scheduled start time of the 1st race.

4. Non-runners can, however, be replaced at any time before that particular race.

5. No other amendments allowed.

6. This is not an exhaustive list I reserve the right to add more!

7. My decision is final.

Simonsig made hard work of that. Had Overturn not hit that fence I think he would have won

Not sure if he'd have won, but Simonsig would have had to work much harder.

Baily Green ran really well for a 33/1 shot.

Our Mick is obviously a class horse, but the heavy going meant that the race suited those at the bottom of the weights.
