    SUNDAY’S ENTRIES ON THIS THREAD PLEASE

    Marten Julian’s Cheltenham Bulletin Books (see below) are highly regarded and I am delighted that Marten has offered two great prizes for TRF to give away in this special Cheltenham warm-up competition.

    RACING GOLF –

    The competition will run in two parts with a golfing theme – Round 1 will take place this Saturday (3rd Mar) and round 2 on the following day, Sunday (4th Mar). The rules are the same for both rounds.

    Rules (please read carefully) – You have to select 9 horses from that day’s racing (Sat or Sun – depending which day it is). You cannot make more than 1 selection from each race. You need 4 reserves (in order of preference) as well.

    Each selection equates to a single hole in your golf round (so, nine holes each day).
    Your ‘score’ for each horse will be calculated as follows and is based on the finishing position and starting price of each horse.

    Scoring –

    Starting price –

    If your horse starts at 5/2 or shorter it counts as 3 shots.
    If your horse starts at higher than 5/2 but 5/1 or less it is 2 shots
    If your horse starts at higher than 5/1 but less than 10/1 it is 1 shot
    If your horse starts at 10/1 or more it is 0 shots

    Finishing Position –
    If the horse wins it counts as 1 shot
    2nd = 2 shots
    3rd = 3 shots
    Out of first 3 = 5 shots

    So, for example – if my horse finishes 2nd at 7/1 it would be 3 shots taken for that hole (1 shot for being 7/1 plus 2 shots for finishing second) and so on for all 9 of your horses.


    If a race has fewer than 5 runners it will be considered VOID and your reserves will come into play (same for non-runners).

    The player with the lowest aggregate score for all 9 holes wins that particular day. The scores for Sat/Sun winners will be compared and the lowest score (Sat Vs Sun) will get the top prize and the other person gets the second prize.

    First prize = A free subscription to Marten Julian’s Cheltenham Package (includes online pre-publication preview access to his Cheltenham Bulletin Book, hard copy version of the Cheltenham Bulletin Book, Daily email updates from Marten in the week leading up to the meeting and Online supplements covering all four days of the Festival. This is a FANTASTIC prize (rrp £50)!

    Second prize = A free copy of Marten Julian’s Cheltenham Bulletin Book. With a host of features this is a must-have for anyone looking to bet on or simply enjoy the 2012 Cheltenham Festival.

    UK racing only – closing deadline for entries ten mins before published off time of first race in the UK that day.

    Let me know if any ruling queries.

    Another great day’s golf and a good turnout.

    Aaronizneez set a good target with yesterday’s 35 and it was the first player off the tee today that almost made it – but not quite. Still, it was enough to take the day’s prize so pleas PM me your address details

    Columbus

    and we’ll arrange for you to get Marten Julian’s Cheltenham Bulletin Book sent through.

    Aaronizneez, you win the Cheltenham Package – a great prize worth £50 (and much more if you use it wisely for ncheltenham!).

    Andrew03’s score is shown but his round was void as he included Irish races. The equivalent, Andrew, of playing in teh Open at st Andrews and completing your round at Carnoustie!!

    Today’s scores (par was 45).

    1. Columbus 36 (-9)
    2. Sir Rembrandt 39 (-6)
    Jt 3rd – Elcartero and Kevcal 40 (-5)
    5. Triptych 42 (-4)
    Jt 6th – Gumsyhorse and Goodfellow 43 (-2)
    8. Andrew03 45 (Par)
    Jt 9th – Beau Ranger and Curly Cov 46 (+1)
    Jt 11th – Nathan Hughes and Bob Rolf 47 (+2)
    13. Aaronizneez 51 (+6) (Must have been doing too much celebrating last night!!)

    Thanks everyone for playing – it seemed quite a good format,might repeat sometime.
