Title: The Hotelend Grand National Sweepstake 2018
Post by: Deepcut Cobbler on April 08, 2018, 22:57:36 pm
That time of year again......
The Grand National will be run at Aintree on Saturday 14th April 2018 at 1715hrs.

As for the previous seven years we will be holding our very own The Hotelend Grand National Sweepstake.
For those who are not aware, it is open to the first 40 entries posted on this thread.
It is absolutely free and the only prize from me is the annotation at the bottom of your profile (see mine below).

The Hotelend previous winners are:
2009 – Deepcut Cobbler
2010 – DustCobb
2011 – Luton Cobbler
2012 - memyhead
2013 – Dan
2014 – New Dawn Fades
2015 – Bingers
2016 – Adam-NTFC
2017 - cobblergaz59

All you have to do is post that you would like to be entered, on this thread. 
Once I have forty entries and the runners and riders have been announced/confirmed I will draw the names out of the hat for allocation to the horses. 
The number you have been allocated below is only for draw purposes and not the horse number!
Once you have been allocated your horse, whatever the odds, I would advise putting a swift each way on it at least because you never know in this race and you will be kicking yourself if your 'outsider' comes in and you haven't. 
A number of us have over the years….   

I will start it off......13 jockeys left to find:

Get your names in early, first come first served!!!

The 40 horse declaration is later today, normally we have insufficient horses for the jockeys, don't let the Cobblers demise ruin the annual sweepstake.
15 more riders needed to ensure that we have a full complement for the draw...it doesn't cost you a penny!

Anymore for anymore before I lock this thread at 1900hrs and draw the jockey's for their rides?
In the absence of a full complement of 40 jockeys, the riderless horses will be randomly drawn from/to the jockey's already entered so that some will have their twin riding on their second horse. (maximum of 13 twins at the moment).
