This is a great competition with a fantastic prize – you MUST enter!!
Ok, perhaps I’m biased, but I just love the refeshingly honest and passionate style which Emily employs to great effect in her paintings. I can’t think of much better than to have a print above my mantlepiece – who knows, Emily’s work may be unaffordable soon!
The prize is a print of an original painting Emily is going to do of the 2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, whoever that may be.
The competition is simple – you just need to guess the number of winners, seconds and thirds (in total) that the following trainers will aggregate during all 4 days at Cheltenham.
Paul Nicholls
David Pipe
Alan King
Willie Mullins
Nicky Henderson
Philip HobbsEach winner, second or third registered by each of these trainers counts as 1 point. Add up the total points you think they will have and send that number (and remember you are sending just one number only – the TOTAL of all the trainers points added together) and then send your answer, along with your TRF username by email to :-
mail@emilyrussellart.com[/color:2uwwxf5d]
Entries close at midnight on Monday.
Either Emily or I will then post all the entrants on this thread. (It’s kind of a sealed bids style auction!)
Whoever is nearest the correct total will win the prize. In the event of a tie we will draw the winner from a hat.
It is a great prize so it’d be great to have as many entrants as possible.

I’ve just realised I’ve made an almighty rick with my entry,god knows what I was thinking (maybe I thought the points were 3 for a win, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd).
Anyhow I think it’s 7 out of 9 so far for those trainers after three races so might not be so far off.Here are the entries from Emily’s site.

For those that have entered in the different format I’ll convert these so you are still in.
May not be able to update scores until tomorrow.
Final total was 37.
Quite a few I think are one point away but I don’t think anyone has it right so it may go to a play-off.
Confirm sometime Saturday.
No one got it bang on but a few near misses who were only one point away-
JJM Sports
John006
Scintillate
Sir Rembrandt
Maxie777We’ll draw a winner out of a hat later today from the list above. Result online by 10pm.
David
I was a bit unhapy about leaving the result to a draw from a hat so…
I’ve compromised. You’ve each been allocated (by a draw from a hat!) a horse each in the 2.40 at Kelso
Blackpool Billy – Sir Rembrandt
Chicago Outfit – John006
Border Reiver – Scintillate
Rossini’s Dancer – JJM Sports
Winter Alchemy – Maxie777(the other runner Maid In Moscow doesn’t count for this – she will be ignored so if you are second to her you still win. BUT if there is a non runner you will replace your horse with Maid In Moscow.)
Good luck all.
JJM Sports wins it. Well done Jack.
Very unlucky the others, esp Sir Rembrandt who was on teh 7/4 fav Blackpool Billy who refused at the third after looking like he would rather be ANYWHERE other than Kelso.
Great competition, hope everyone ejoyed it.
