    Quelle Farce
    “I scored a big fat zero today, despite having a lot of fancied horses (four of the eight horses I put up were favourites!!).

    Is that a Cheltenham Competition First?

    Am I barred?”

    Good luck Quelle, certainly not the 1st to have the dreaded Nil Point,
    I’m in that club too, so you’re definitely not barred :rose:

    A very well supported Fav in the 1st, and plenty
    on the places too. Nice start :good:

    16/1 Nap selection, second in the County. Thanks for getting one chucked in at the weights Mr Mullins!

    Aaronizneez thanks very much for the offer of help perhaps looking for
    a table for next year. My son and his partner are coming up from London
    tomorrow for a few days. It’s beyond me but his partner runs a dept in a
    analytics company. I’m hoping to pick her brains whilst she’s up here,
    hopefully I might learn enough to be able to put something together myself.
    Thanks very much for the offer (I haven’t said no yet :whistle: )

    It’s the Willie Mullins Show at the moment, Very understandable with
    the 1st 2, but running over them I was pleased to see that Kevin jumped
    onto his so called 2nd string The Nice Guy at 16/1 (how many times have
    we seen that). So, very well done to Krypton.

    Very well done, Aaronizneez is looking over his shoulder.

    Seasider you were of the same mind as me, I took Green Book this
    morning at 50/1 with Betfred and we both napped it. He ran alone
    up the other side of the course, but held on for 5th. no points,
    16 runners, but a reasonable return from Fred :good:

    **Correction, I did mean The Nice Guy, not Hillcrest, all sorted
    now. It’s the shellshock you know :wacko: **

    ** Anyone who has already read this post, apologies for the sh^t,
    all sorted. Anyone who didn’t read, it, nothing to see here, move
    along Move along :whistle: **

    The Queen of Cheltenham, Rachael Blackmore, I don’t need to say

    “Seasider you were of the same mind as me, I took Green Book this morning at 50/1 with Betfred and we both napped it.”

    BigG – Green Book certainly had a squeak of a chance what with VW’s horses running so well this week. Never mind.

    The performance of the week must go to yourself & Triptych. Well done indeed.

    “VW’s horses running so well this week.”

    She almost trained another big priced winner in the Mares Chase.

    Thanks Seasider, I’m not sure about the performance of the week, I
    realised I’d made a complete mess off Hillcrest/The Nice guy above :wacko:
    I got the 2 mixed up if I’m honest, I don’t know how many read the
    original post, maybe they were absorbed with the Willie Mullins Show
    and missed it :whistle: .

    Anyway, not to worry, 1 race and we’re done :yahoo:
    Actually I still managed to enjoy the show, despite
    the occassional panic, how could I not :-)

    Ok I’ve got the scores all added up, and rather than
    wait until I get the columns all sorted out I’m going
    to call the winner and runners up

    So it’a HUGE slap on the back and congratulations to
    :yahoo: :yahoo: Aaronizneex :yahoo: :yahoo: for a superb final
    tally of 247. That 3rd round was superb Aaron and nobody could get
    near you on a difficult final day to find horses to catch up. This
    is one of the most difficult competitions to win, very well done :good: :good:

    Cork All Star, you had a great run and a score of 182 Points, that
    would likely be enough to win many a competition but it was just too
    much to make up. It was a superb effort and many congrats :good: :good: :good:
    I hope you made a good few quid out it as well :good:

    In 3rd place with 177 Points, even though probably having been scarred
    for life by having to deal with the the muddy nightmare that was Cheltenham
    on Wednesday was my great mucker Jac (Triptych) :yahoo: . All the changes,
    non runners and rules that were brought into question had us scratching our
    heads . Thanks very much Jac, I think I’d have gone over the top if I’d had
    the horror Wednesday too. Great effort in 3rd place :good:

    I think Cormack will be contacting those to receive their great book prizes.
    I’ll get the full scores up shortly. Thanks everyone for getting involved, it
    was a blast, although how Nathan did it every other month for years, I’ve no
    idea. Huge respect for what he’s done for so long.

    All the best and hopefully you enjoyed it (a bit) and maybe took some
    cash off the bookies :good:

    Thanks BigG and to Triptych for running the competition. It was a lot of fun – but maybe not much for you on Wet Wednesday!

    Congratulations to Aaronizneez for a well deserved win.

    I had a good Tuesday and Wednesday with the bookies. Gave a little back on the Thursday and was slightly ahead today thanks to backing State Man in running.

    I had forgotten about the prize! A welcome bonus.

    Hope everyone had a good week.

    I’ve had a rubbish Cheltenham, so looking forward now to Aintree.

    Congrats to the top three and especially to Aaronizneex – what a great total & some excellent selections! Well done! :yahoo: I could have doubled my score for the meeting and still not won. :wacko:

    Thanks especially to Graham and Jac for all the hard work in pulling this together for us – it adds a lot of excitement to these big meetings for many of us! Your efforts are much appreciated!
