Are we going to keep the tradition going with the Grand National sweepstake this year ? Seems like they will run a virtual version.

I had the same thought yesterday when I heard.
I'll attempt it and see how many 'jockeys' we can get for our virtual horses... ;D
Although the flash to bang maybe tight for Saturday...

Yep - normally I think you'd be ok, but footfall is a bit light on here these days.

Anyway...I'm in!

Everyone to get your names in, I'll be doing it up to the first forty jockeys/entrants.
When the horses, betting etc. become available, I'll draw and allocate a jockey to each horse.  8)

5 in so far (including myself) only another 35 jockey's to find... ;D

18 more needed, Runners and betting methods/options will be posted when declared.
Tiger Roll, with the tenuous link that he runs in Cobblers colours, is the favourite.

Eight horses still without Hotelend jockeys.
It doesn't cost you a penny and the winner will be forever acknowledged as a champion in this unique race competition.
