Grand National Sweepstake

[elDiablo]

Gah, no fair... DIdnt actually see that. Hedgehunter and Clan Royal are the two that I think will win though

Disregard my vote, I LOSE!

 

[Twisto]

elD - If an admin can change your vote in time, thats great.
If not (remember they do have lives away from the boards), then I will pick one for you at random, just before the race starts.

 

[Birdy]

gone with shotgun willy coz i cant say the name without laughing

*slaps Haven around a bit with a large trout*
Your horse was already selected by ElDiablo. Tell me which horse you want, and i'll edit the poll accordingly.

 

[Twisto]

Sorry Pestcontrol, But even though it would be a fight worth watching..(Trouts at dawn)
Haven voted first. Its due to the alphabetic nature of the poll that elDiablo shows up first.
elDiablo needs to choose another.

 

[Pestcontrol]

Hmm, thanks for mentioning
In that case, i shall take my slapping back and direct it at ElDiablo instead!

This horse racing is all quite new to me, horse races aren't popular at all here but i know they're all the rage in the UK. Is there anywhere i can watch a live webfeed to see them race?

Re: Grand National Sweepstake..Please read carefully

Urgh, I'm ill and acting like a noob!

I've chosen the same horse as Havens lovely lady friend, who'd have thought she had good taste .

 

[elDiablo]

First gold is my choice! If possible!

 

[pHatBambi]

Baron Windrush! I choose YOU!

 

[Twisto]

Piac..post up another choice..we'll see if it can be changed.

 

[LynxGB]

Less than 3 hours left to pick your horses

Come on Lord Of Illusion *whip*

 

[Piacular]

Righto Twisto.

I'll pick Ebony Light instead .

 

[Twisto]

Just to confirm:

Piacular - Ebony light
Lynx - Lord of illusion
elDiablo - First gold

Also.. Good luck to all who entered. I thought it may be possible to fill up nearly the whole race, due to an active board of about 40 people daily. But who cares..The response has been fantastic anyway.
It doesnt matter if the winner has not been picked, I will just go backwards down the placings.

Enjoy the race - If you are in the UK that is. For those that are not, I will post up a link later, showing a rerun.

[mod]I've edited the poll again for ElDiablo and Piacular.[/mod]

Edit: It appears SgtSafety just voted for Lord of illusion as well. If you read this, choose another horse please and i'll edit the poll again. For the third time.

 

[SgtSafety]

Ive taken lord of illision as well!! and i want it becuase ive put money on it!!!

 

[T-Bone]

HedgeHunter for me - based on the fact that its vaguely rude

Ach, that horse won last year...boring bet

I bet Ebony Light cause I like the name.

 

[T-Bone]

Well the top three were...

Spoiler

1st. Val Verdi
2nd. Hedge Hunter
3rd. Clan Royal

And my horse, Ebony Light, went down at fence 5


[Official Results]

 

[SgtSafety]

So anyone make any money??

 

[Twisto]

We have a Winner

Well sort of..

1st Numbersixvalverde - Nobody chose this horse
2nd Hedgehunter - Haven
3rd Clan royal - Dezmond
4th Nil desperandum - Shadow

So its a big well done to Haven

I'm sure the reputation off Dezmond + Shadow will arrive shortly.


Also a big thanks to all of you that participated in this event. I am sure that with a bit of tweaking, in the future we will see more of these one-off sweepstakes. (thinking.. maybe the World cup)

T-Bone that link's knackered. I can't find a full results listing anywhere. I want to know how abysmally bad my horse was
