The Talking Horses National Hunt Cup

I hope nobody else enters as this looks a tasty morsel to snack on. I'm confident that I'll win so don't bother. Can't see anyone out there with the killer instinct needed to snap up the prize. Take the bait ...lurking in deep and dangerous waters.
 
Just over 24 hours to sign up, come on folks lets see if we can get to the 64 entries marker.

Have you priced it Slim?
 
I couldn't guarantee being around all the time (or more pertinently able to check the form all the time), but I would like to say that if the first letters of the last two words of the title of this competition were reversed, I would be a shoo-in.

Is it first number drawn plays second, third plays fourth, and so on?

If so, I'm head-to-head with baracouda.

"IT'S WAR". :D

Thank you very much for organising, Maxbet.

Right, how do I get into the mind of Dave G? Is he a Cheltenham player, or does he favour the easy tracks? Is he a "couple of bob on a Saturday" punter, or is he a serious studier of form on the all weather?

Anyway, nice to meet you, Dave. Be warned, though: 34 is my most favourite number ever.
 
Chetenham through the card...and good luck to everyone.
I have a front page copy of the draw but I don't know how to attach it.

Rules

Each competitor chooses one selection per race throughout the card at Cheltenham and must post them on here between now and 30 minutes before the first race Saturday.

5 points awarded for a winner, 3 points for a second, and 1 point for a third. A dead heat will mean the points are equally divided accordingly.

In case of a tie, then firstly the amount of winners, followed by seconds and then thirds will count, should this fail to separate then a profit to loss ratio will apply.

Non runners. If a horse is declared a NR then the player can replace it with a substitute before the race actually starts as long as it is recorded on here before the official off time of the race.

In order to determine home advantage for the next round, everyone must make selections in round 1, that includes those players that received a by, this should maintain interest for all and maximise involvement.

Home advantage really comes into play in the next round. It means that the players who score the highest get to choose the meeting in the next round against their new opponents, and the away player must post their selections by midnight of the Friday evening before.

Round 1 Saturday 25th January at the Cheltenham Trials Meeting.

Round 2 Saturday 8th February.

Round 3 Saturday 15th February.

Quarter finals Saturday 8th March.

Semi Finals over two days....Tuesday 11th March and Wednesday 12th March at the Cheltenham Festival.

The final over two days....Thursday 13th March and Friday 14th March at the Cheltenham Festival.
