BuzzJack Music Forum _ Sports and Fitness _ 2024 Cheltenham Festival Tipster Game

Posted by: Mack. 4th March 2024, 02:15 PM

It's back for an ninth year, Buzzjack's very own annual Cheltenham Festival tipster game is back

This is a game where you have to predict which horse is going to win each race throughout the four days at Cheltenham Festival. You can post on here on which horse is going to win each race throughout the racecard e.g.
2:30 Coneygree

Points system:
4- 1st
3- 2nd
2- 3rd
1- 4th

If one of your picks is a non-runner, you will get 1pt.

I will be posting a link for each day.

I will be posting the results at the end of each day.

Wednesday's Cross Country Chase at the Cheltenham Festival has been called off and will not be rescheduled after parts of the track were waterlogged.

Officials said 11mm of rain fell at the course on Tuesday.

Six races will still take place on the Old Course with the start of racing put back by 15 minutes to 13:45 GMT.
