Fantasy Racing 2015-16 - The Jumps - game ends

[Striker]

If this was a fantasy football game about to come to a Cheltenham type climax, posters would be posting views left, right and centre. Where is everyone?

[bloggie]

I think it'd be more interesting if I didn't pick a few non Cheltenham horses and the prizes being near all or nothing plus I didn't pick that many 'tenfolds' as they are named on the coupons. So you know if you've no chance of getting a return in it or not.

Those top teams must have nearly picked the perfect 10.

Five horses with zero in my six lists.

We finished 7th overall and the same team scraped in for a place in the March Monthly. If Shaneshill had won his race instead of finishing 2nd we might well have won.

Faugheen .. 50 Douvan......45 Sprinter Sacre ..40 Un Temps Pour Tout ...40 Bristol De Mai ...40 Annie Power ..35
Vautour ..35 Don Cossack ...35 Arctic Fire ...20 Shaneshill ...20. Total 360/190

I guess from the entries that William Hill made about 100k from the game before exes so won't be too harsh about the poor web site and fluctuating positions at Cheltenham when nothing at all had happened to change anything

I just hope it returns in the Autumn as fantasy games in general and especially golf are in decline and we need it.

Sadly, 'The Jumps' game will NOT return in November 2016. Message below is in response to a compilation of Fiso suggestions on improving the contest.

Hi Sam

Thank you for your email.

I have contacted head office with your suggestions and they asked me to pass on their thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, they have withdrawn the Jumps competition for the foreseeable future and will review this year on year.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any other queries.

Kind Regards

Andrew Henry

Strange as I had a questionnaire from them this week as for feedback. One of the questions was about purchasing teams online.

I also received and completed the same survey from William Hill as Ashers.

There does appear to be some good news however as Attheraces are going to run a Stable Stars Competition as they did last year.

Details are not yet available on entry to the competition but the start date is Saturday November 12th 2016.

It's back.

Have been advised coupons will be on branches next week.

I also came across that a week ago. Unfortunately a quick check showed that he doesn't know what he is talking about. I mentally cursed him as for a few minutes he gave me false hope.
