Cheltenham Festival - Day One

Hey all.

It's that time of the year again - Cheltenham Festival. I always put an each way bet on my picks from this and have won a couple of times so fingers crossed again this year!

The aim of the game;

Choose a horse from each of the 7 races from today’s Cheltenham Festival;
1.30, 2.10, 2.50, 3.30, 4.10, 4.50, 5.30

If your horse wins; 10 points, 2nd: 7 points 3rd: 5 points and any other paying place (as per Sky Bet) gets 3 points.

Don’t forget your NAP race which could earn double points!

Here is a link to the festival races:

You have until 12pm to get your picks to me so I can update the spreadsheet and I will update later on tonight/or tomorrow who the overall winner is.

Happy picking!

Hi Pags
Do you just have a daily winner or do you carry the points over for the whole 4 day festival. ?

Some great afternoons to come with tea, coffee, cans, and crisps and biscuits. Lousy weather to come

Just as an observer rather than participant (I know even less about horse racing than I do about football) … it does make me wonder why someone gives this thread a 1*. A completely innocuous and harmless thread it would seem, yet some sad feccker gets off on down-voting it. Ah well, perhaps they lost their shirt on the first race😁.

My usual response to the sad fecckers is 5 star
