Cheltenham Festival - Tipster competition

[nc]

No prizes, just a bit of fun.

There are 20 races over Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Each player has a £200 kitty - £10 for each race (no EW's) ie, if your horse wins at 6/1, £70 is added to your kitty (£60 + £10 stake) I'll update the table at the end of each day.

Any entrants must post their horses by 14:00 on Tuesday.

I'm also putting £5 on mine. The only joy I had yesterday was an EW on Intersky Falcon. Then I put this £7.50 on Millwall @ 5/4, so at least I got over half back. Let's hope todays better:thumbs:
