2017 Fiso Fantasy Cheltenham. A new champion !

[Spencer4]

One race down and some big scoring already...in fourth overnight workie-ticket comes up alongside Ashers, but they are 2 lengths down on yorkshiredragon at the top of the hill. topspur is taking a breather in fourth, then there's a big gap back to muddy, leading the rest of the field...

...dangerous fence coming...

Yorkshire still leads but isn't asserting, workie is still 2 back biding his time. However, just behind, nevblake is flying, and has come to join Ashers just a length behind topspur. Just 4 lengths between the front five...at the back subsonic is improving, though he appears to think there's another circuit to run! Bluenosey going best of all today, but is 12 lengths back still...

[Striker]

Back in the real world, surely Wonderful Charm is value at 5/1.

He was fooling us all, Yorkshiredragon with a burst of acceleration puts 2 lengths into the chasers. Ashers is the one to follow, with workie-ticket caught on his heels. Three to go...

It's not over yet, a really slow jump by our leader sees workie-ticket come right up behind with topspur just a further length back. Nevblake and Ashers are a length and 2 behind. Five in a line, five lengths separates all five. SamD and muddy 3 lengths behind these five, too far back ? subsonic two behind dickypick at the back... one fence and the run-in to go...

...over the last, and Yorkshire is still a length ahead of workie-ticket. Ashers is a further length back and then just falling off the pace, is topspur, a length ahead of muddy and nevblake.

Workie is favourite on the exchanges as he has the favourite's jockey and trainer in the last !!

Did anyone else here have Arctic Fire in their selections for today

...but this is Cheltenham, so the favourite is swept away and Yorkshiredragon pulls out a couple of more lengths to go past the post 4 clear !! After four poor performances the handicapper was well and truly tricked. Well done to all who played, not quite up to the scores of 2015 but very competitive and only two didn't finish. What were you doing subsonic ?

PM me your choice of £25 bet whenever you like yorkshire.

[Ashers]

Thanks Spencer, great game.

Well done Yorkshiredragon.

Had to much choice on the final day and never looked at Power.

Well played.

[SamD]

Congratulations, yorkshiredragon, and kudos to those who made it an exciting finish.

Thanks for a great game, Spencer4. Look forward to next Fiso event, be it Aintree or Royal Ascot...

[TheBigLewandowski]

Very well played. Great competition. I had a bit of a shocker however

[workie-ticket]

Thanks for organising Spencer and well done Yorkshire dragon! Thought long and hard over robbie power but chose elsewhere and no complaints! Great competition Spencer and good luck with the bet Yorkshire d!

[Richt]

Proud to be named champion as a big horse racing fan i've done poorly in this so far. Thanks to Spencer4 for running this competition and for all the other competitors.
Got a bit lucky when choosing the right day for putting the mullins/walsh double act in and thanks to Robbie Power for a good last day.

The Winnings will be going on spookydooky to win in the 335 uttoxeter on saturday if you wouldn't mind placing the bet spencer4.

[Spencer4]

To win? 10/1 I see.

[yorkshiredragon]

yes all on to win please

[bluenosey]

Cheers Spencer, well done Yorkshire and good luck with the bet

[Moist von Lipwig]

Well done yorkshiredragon and thanks Spencer4.

[workie-ticket]

Great stuff! Will watch tomorrow and root for spookydooky on your behalf!

[Striker]

Hoping Spookydooky delivers you a worthwhile return on your win YD.

And thanks to Spencer for giving us an interest in races where we wouldn't have had one otherwise.

[Muddy]

Thanks Spencer/Julian and congrats to Yorkshire Dragon. At least it seems like one for Yorkshire.

I had the day off on Friday so went out on my bike in the morning but had a mechanical, and was stuck on the moors and only just made it back in time for the racing, hence my selections at 1.26

Cheers everyone for an exciting contest.

[workie-ticket]

This not going ahead this year?

[Spencer4]

This not going ahead this year?

Sorry workie and everyone else, work commitments are going to make it impossible this year. I may look at Aintree as an alternative but can't guarantee having the time then either.

[workie-ticket]

No problem - thoroughly understand the time needed to put it together.
