Probably most of you who are in Nathan’s Fantasy Jumps Competition will have
received emails about this competition, which solely related to The Cheltenham
Festival.Anybody who didn’t join that competition, then this is your chance to catch this one.
It’s a similar format, in that you pick three jockeys and three trainers, the
difference being that they are all graded (1 being the best and 20 the least fancied)
so you cannot just pick the 3 best jockeys or trainers. Your trio have got to amount
to at least 26 points.You then get to pick a horse in each of the 28 races at The Festival.
This is the link to the competition.

I have started a league, THERACINGFORUM, and the Pin is 8108382.
I will copy the rules below. Oh, and I forgot to mention, there is
£1000 to the winner, and some other prizes too
Best of luck to all who enter
How to play
The Cheltenham Festival, one of racing’s greatest events takes place from March 15 to 18, and you can add to the excitement with the Telegraph’s FREE TO PLAY Fantasy Cheltenham game for the chance to win £1,000 in cash.
Become a Fantasy Owner by selecting your stable of jockeys and trainers and then picking a single horse in each of the 28 Festival races.
The three jockeys and three trainers that you choose score points for you every time they have a winner or placed horse in each of the Festival’s 28 races and double points for the Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup Steeple Chase (3.30pm on Friday).
You’ll also start with 28 betting ‘credits’, one to use in each race throughout the four day festival. You will score additional points every time your chosen horse wins or is placed in a race.
The aim of the game is to score the highest number of points in order to win the first prize of £1,000 in cash.
Register your free entry now. You can make changes to your stable of jockeys and trainers up to the scheduled start time of the first race of the Festival (1.30pm on Tuesday, March 15). You can make your race selections right up to the scheduled start time of each race.

thanks for setting it up BigG, just need to remember to bump the thread up nearer the time.
When people join they could add a message to keep it near the topGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026

When people join they could add a message to keep it near the topThat’s a good idea Nathan. If people can remember to bump it up when they join so as to
catch anyone who hasn’t got round to it that would be a help. I’ll keep an eye and if it
seems to be disappearing, I’ll bump it up.It probably wouldn’t do any harm if I also put it in the Racing Competitions thread, it won’t
disappear down the list as quickly and maybe some will spot it there, if they don’t regularly
check into the Horse Racing Forum. I can bump it up there too before the 1st day of The Festival
for last minute stragglers.Only 9 days to go
