As I am feeling in an extremely generous mood (a rare occurrance), I have decided to run a Cheltenham Festival-themed quiz, and am offering as a prize to the winner One Club Enclosure Ticket to Champion Chase Day at Cheltenham on Wednesday March 14th.
Much of the quiz is historically-based, in order to stop people simply clicking though the Racing Post website, but all of the answers can be found online if you look hard enough.
Please PM me the answers, do not post them on this thread. In the case of a dead-heat, a random draw will take place to decide the winner. Closing date for receipt of entries is 10.30pm on Sunday.
The question-master’s decision is final, there will be no cash alternative, blah blah blah…….
I will post the results on here as soon as I can after the close of the quiz and the winner will be posted his/her ticket by recorded delivery on Monday. Apologies for the lateness of this quiz but it was a bit of a spur-of-the-moment thing!
Good luck!
