2013 Cheltenham Festival Tipping Comp.

Horwich ran this last year and I won it! :D

 

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.

No straight/exact answer to this.

 

It depends on the bookies own T&C's, but I'd imagine you'll get the worst of the possible permutations!

I just hope Briar Hill was your winner in that.

 

To be fair to BetVictor based on a quick look they have paid double the odds and the return of three stakes, which I assume is Winner, NR and Winner/NR double.

Cross Country course unfit for racing, so they're running it on Thursday at 5.15pm.

 

What Happens to the scheduled race for this day then?

 

 

Did you not have it in a double with Brier Hill?

 

I wish, it was also in my £1 ew lucky 15 the only one that came anywhere, still doubled my money

The 5.15 on day 3 is the St Patricks Derby, a charity flat race over 1m 5f. That has now been shunted back to 5.45.

Alex Hammond off Sky TV is riding in it.

Kapga's a good shout, Oli. I'd forgotten it was running! D'oh!

Looks a good horse at massive odds!

It's a cracking race, you know.

Divers has a chance carrying no weight and whilst not looking like a winner, Domtaline is way too big at 37 on Betfair.
