If you don't already know, next week is the Cheltenham Festival, and on Friday 16th March, the 'totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase' (Grade 1) will be run over 3m 2f 110y.
Being as there is a shortage of quiz prizes in the Virtual Prize Box, I thought it might be an idea to hold a sweepstake, and with the entry fee being simply to donate a prize of some sort to the VPB. For each prize donated to that, you can pick one of the runners below and, if your choice goes on to win or be placed 2nd or 3rd in the Gold Cup, you will personally win the item listed beside that horse's name and for your own dog.
I'll draw the prizes at random to go next to each runner, and all you need to do is post below what you have donated to the VPB and pick the name of the horse/horses you want and on a first come, first served basic. (Someone will update the list accordingly.) Entries for this event will close on Thursday 15th March at midnight.
IF all the available runners are taken, then members may pick a horse/runner a second time, and the same prize will be provided for both if it wins etc. (I.e. If two members pick Ballycassidy and he wins or comes 2nd or 3rd, then they will each receive a Bev of Bridlington Training Lead.)
If every horse should be picked twice, then we can open it like that for a third round.
Remember, the entry fee is just one item donated to the VPB per horse choice.
Have Fun.
