mistakes do take place from time to time, please bring to my attention as soon as possible
any differences between my scoring and your own. ThanksWINNER
will be the person with the highest score over the four days combined. In the event of a tie
the winner will be the person between the tied competitors with the highest score for day 1.
If still tied highest scoring NAP. In the case of disputes my decision is final.the cakes will be bought and the battle lines marked . It will be good to see you all entering again as it is such fun to run and hopefully good fun to compete too!!
So does the winner get cake, and if so what kind of cake
The best things in life are free.
But you can give them to the birds and bees.Well done Raymo.. good luck with the cakes, I’m sure Mrs Raymo will save you the crumbs

Thanks to Raymo and Mrs Raymo for running this again. Can’t believe it’s come round so quickly. Good luck with the fight for the cakes..Raymo..my money’s on Tracey to win them.
🥮🥞🍰🍥🎂🧁
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I’m mega grateful Raymo that you and Mrs Raymo are running the
Cheltenham competition, it’s the jewel in the Crown of jumps
racing. I’ll definitely have a crack at it, well Im sitting
here at 3am (well propped up in bed) still going through them
You are both stars
Thanks Jac and Graham and RTB and Nath.
And Neil just to explain about the cakes. Myself and Tracey (Mrsraymo ) hav a competition every year and the winner gets cakes and the loser has to buy them . The cakes are always of the winners choice.Five more sleeps folks
Bo Rolf defending his title
And Jac so is mine Tracey is better than me at picking winners over the sticks I knew that, just teasing. Anyway it’ll be crumbs if sent by Royal Mail.
Anyway thanks for holding the competition, looking forward to competing.
I always look forward to Cheltenham since backing Silver Buck in 1982, plus it means winter is ending, and it’s been a bad one this time.
The best things in life are free.
But you can give them to the birds and bees.It certainly has ben a bad one Neil and I think we all could do with cheering up one way or another and hopefully Cheltenham will be the start of of it
Or a lottery win 1982 SILVER BUCK now that is a blast from the past. Wasn’t 82 the year of JP’s first winner? And maybe Crimson Embers winning the stayers too? If I have the year right that is about all I remember of 1982
The best weeks racing of the year!
Love this comp. Thanks Raymo & Tracey (Mrs Raymo)!I was thinking of doing another competition to see if anyone could pick horses to finish last
Thanks for doing the comp again. Watched endless festival previews which threw up very little I didn’t know. Very few mentioned the ground which could be a big factor IMHO. Hopefully mullins has settled on what he’s doing so we can get a handle on the fields. No point looking at it until then.Good luck everybody.
We’ll put up a £20 free bet on the Grand National to the winner of this one.
I’m going to put up an another Cheltenham competition later today with another £20 free Grand National bet but it’ll be restricted to 16 entries with the first 16 to reply when I put the topic up in the Competitions forum getting an entry so keep an eye out.
