Actually FlashGordon had Galopin Des Champs in the last and not Gentelmen de Mee.

Flash was never in too much danger

Good Effort at the end. Flash looks to have held on

Langer Dan went off at 13/2 so Fiasco wouldn't have got the necessary bonus points anyway

16:50 Cheltenham

Galopin Des Champs (FR) 8/1..............15+5 = 20
Langer Dan (IRE) 13/2...................................10
Floueur (FR) 33/1...............................7+10 = 17
Whatsupwithyou (IRE) 33/1.................4+10 = 14

I had Galopin des Champs not Gentleman de Mee btw Pete.

Yeah sorry mate as you can see i realised my error. Never in doubt. Well played

Buck Pete · « **Reply #284 on:** March 19, 2021, 05:37:15 pm »

Top scorer today was Olly with 79. 3 winners and a couple of 3rds. Picked the Gold Cup winner too. Well played Olly.

Final table to follow.

***Congratulations to FlashGordon - The 2021 RAWK Cheltenham Champion Tipster!! ***

Flash made his move on "moving day" and dominated proceedings yesterday. He hit the top of the table and didn't look back with another round of solid tipping today. I suspect 303 may be the highest winning score ever?

Others were in with a chance towards the end but Flash's title-in-waiting was never really in doubt. Unlucky Fiasco and also Kesey (I was rooting for you Kesey lad).

I reluctantly have to hand the Tipster fail trophy to Ziltoid. He was always struggling to get his selections posted in time but he did try... bless him. I like Zilt and he's a good laugh on RAWK so I am happy to see his name on the Fail trophy along with mine from a few years back

Final table is below and well played all that took part who made it a load of fun as usual.

Corresponding RAWK Aintree competition will be run as usual in a few weeks if it goes ahead as planned. Thread will be up nearer the time.

No shame in a top half finish.

Thanks, Pete!

Fiasco · « **Reply #287 on:** March 19, 2021, 06:05:23 pm »

Congrats Flash, well in Pete again for doing it and I look forward to the Aintree comp already!

Red Cez · « **Reply #288 on:** March 19, 2021, 06:20:36 pm »

Thanks for running this again. Really adds a lot to what is always a great week.

kesey · « **Reply #289 on:** March 19, 2021, 06:31:54 pm »

Yep. Nice one Pete .

I finished 7th which I reckon is my best over the years .

kesey · « **Reply #290 on:** March 19, 2021, 06:32:18 pm »

And congratulations Flashie.

Wow - 4th - that’s going on me CV! Shout out to Flash - well played Sir

Thanks as always Pete and see you all for Aintree

Thanks for running this again Pete.

Started well but dropped off bad, even though I had my best betting day today (the extra places the bookies offer help).

Thanks again Pete, maybe I'll get on the Trophy one day, I'll definitely be back to try and be a two time Aintree champion.

adruk87 · « **Reply #295 on:** March 19, 2021, 07:20:14 pm »

Well in Flash.

Cheers Pete, enjoyed it. Think this was my best finish so far.

ACLE · « **Reply #296 on:** March 19, 2021, 07:57:50 pm »

Sorry that I missed my selections today Pete, loads going on and didn't even have a bet so that saved a few quid looking at the results.

Well played Flash, great tipping that.

Hope to catch up with you all at some Euro away this decade. YNWA.

Thanks for running as always Pete. Congrats Flash, amazing third day. Welcome to the club.

Robinred · « **Reply #298 on:** March 19, 2021, 09:05:32 pm »

Well played Flash, and well done Pete for your sterling efforts. It was a great festival despite the lack of Irish roars. I think the Prestbury Trophy might as well stay in Ireland until further notice - even on good racing ground, the British contingent were no match - particularly up that hill.

rubber soul · « **Reply #299 on:** March 19, 2021, 10:45:52 pm »

Thanks for your efforts Pete and congratulations Flash, some awesome picks there.
First time in 10 years I’ve not been to Cheltenham, really missed it, it’s one of the highlights of the year.
Hopefully next year.

Ziltoid · « **Reply #300 on:** March 19, 2021, 10:47:19 pm »

Get in. I'll place this trophy next to my RAWK darts prediction trophy.

Well done the blade, and cheers Pete. Maybe next year I'll get my tips in on time.

bryanod · « **Reply #301 on:** March 20, 2021, 12:07:30 am »

Still raging never posted yday with a nice couple winners. Would have comfortably finished upper midtable instead of lower midtable
Cheers Pete

Salger · « **Reply #302 on:** March 20, 2021, 12:58:47 am »

Congrats Flash and cheers for running it Pete.

See you all in a few weeks for Aintree.

liversaint · « **Reply #303 on:** March 20, 2021, 07:25:30 am »

Great stuff Flash, well played. Top tipping there.

Massive thanks again go to Pete for running, really enjoyable 4 days.

Another year of mid table mediocrity for me.

Come on Aintree, Letsby Avenue.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #304 on:** March 20, 2021, 07:33:32 am »

Another mediocre week for me, not so however for you Flash. Excellent work, my friend. You too Pete, thanks for sorting it out for us. See you in a few weeks.

chromed · « **Reply #305 on:** March 20, 2021, 12:59:59 pm »

Well done Flash mate, well played! I did win £100 from the NAPS competition with some lads from work so that is something at least.

As always Pete thanks for running mate.

See you lot in the Aintree thread.

FlashGordon · « **Reply #306 on:** March 20, 2021, 05:04:30 pm »

Thanks lads appreciate it. If you throw enough shit at the wall some will eventually stick

Thanks for running Pete, already looking forward to Aintree.

Congratulations Flash, well played. Thanks again as always Pete for running it. Look forward to Aintree. I thought it was your year Kesey. Great horses mate. Hope you made a couple £££ from the bookies.

Thanks for running again Pete; apologies on Friday, I was slightly worse for wear in a shed half way up a mountain

Well done Flash, thanks again Pete

SKITTLE · « **Reply #311 on:** March 26, 2021, 10:09:23 pm »

It's a funny old game. I used the same selections for a different comp on 'The Punters Lounge' site and came out on top with a £60 prize. Just a slightly different scoring system.

Thanks for running it all. Try again at Aintree.

Here's your shiny trophy mate. At least you didn't have to wait 2 years like Duvva did for his Aintree award

Buck Pete · « **Reply #313 on:** February 23, 2022, 10:29:22 am »

As tradition dictates, last years "Tipster Fail" trophy is presented a month or so before the upcoming festival (15-18 March). Mainly to remind people the festival is on its way!!

Look out for the 2022 thread which will be up in a few weeks.

Anyway... One of my most satisfying Tipster FAIL presentations. Here you go Ziltoid. You deserve it my man.

Anyone else going? We're going Tuesday and Wednesday this year.
Absolutely can't wait, hated missing it last March.

Am having another year off, but intending on buying a membership for next season with the money saved. It’s only about £100 more than 4 days in Club, and you can go to any of the fixtures and have access to the Members bars which I reckon will be a godsend during the Festival

Cannot wait for it. This week always goes so slowly.
