Fancy taking us on at Cheltenham?

Yes, we could make it 15 or 20 a side, but if we do, I ain't ferking doing the settling. For your newer members, FF is the oldest surviving UK horse racing forum on the internet, we have lost one or two competitions to Talking horses, but most times we kick your arse effortlessly, in fact some of our encounters have been so one sided in our favour that it has been embarrasing, and I expect a similar story this time around.
I think you lot will struggle to get 12 people to post every day, I remember the last competition where you had 20 people who said they were prepared to play, but who then seemed to forget about it on the day.
You know you'll get beat, but you have my admiration for being prepared to take on the might that is FF. :lol:

Bring it on!
 
I've had a thought, to stop players on both sides having £1000 on Sprinter Sacre, Sizing Europe, Big Bucks, Quevega or Long Run and making it a bit boring, how about we make it that you have to make three selections each day with a maximum stake of £500 on any one horse?

Makes it a fairer fight.
 
Day 1 - The Talking Horses Cabinet

SlimChance (cpt)
OnTheBridle (vice cpt & Minister of Getting On)
SteveM (Minster of Judgement & Ante Post Portfolio)
Tout Seul (Minister of the Handicaps)
Irish Stamp (Minister of Foregin Form Affairs)
Del Boy (Minister of Poverty & Mug Punting)
Hezz (Minister for Home Affairs) i.e tipping Irish horses
Hamm (Minister of Contradiction & Exile) He won't agree you know...
Euronymous (Minister of Defence) Knows how to back up his statements on the formbook
Desperate Dan (Minister of Taxing the Bookmakers)
SteveT (Minister of Obscurity) No market containing value passes this man.
Granger (Minister of Communication) Taps the right channels of information.

Tuesday's Reserves:
Swedish Chef
Links781
Ballydoyle
BennyB
Bigfow

Reserves on Tuesday will play Wednesday or Thursday for certain provided they post selections Tuesday.

I would urge my team to bare in mind that there are two bad e/w races on Day 1. A pony e/w on both these races is the best way to avoid a no scoring day. There is no excuse for not beating one of the mugs on FF, many of whom will return a big round ZERO on Day 1.

Not only will I pick you as a reserve, I'll even play you at least one of the days. The fact I think you're a tool does not blinker me.

All we need now is Goodkat to throw his hat in the ring...
