POCKETS CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL\u00a0<\/strong>NAP BOARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

TUESDAY MARCH 10th \u2013 FRIDAY MARCH 13th 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pick a horse in every race at the festival and you could win over\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a32000\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

T<\/strong>here are 28 races, 7 each day, select a horse in each race.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You must phone your selections to Pockets on <\/strong>01606 558807<\/strong> or email us at <\/strong>pocketsjubilee@hotmail.co.uk<\/strong><\/a> or leave them at the club <\/strong>between 9.30am and 12.30pm each day. \u00a0An entry form is available on the website.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>T<\/strong>he cut off time is 30 minutes before the first race.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To submit your selections we need your name and your choices:<\/strong><\/p>\n

i.e It’s John Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n

1st<\/sup> race, No. 4,\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2nd<\/sup> race, No 12,\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

and so on for all your selections for the day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have 1 nap to use during the four days. If you nap a horse and it wins, then you receive double the SP odds. That does not count as the highest odds winner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you pick a non-runner then it goes on the favourite.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will start with 28 points and will lose 1 point if your horse does not win. You will get the S.P. Odds added to your total for a winner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So if you had an 8\/1 winner in the first race you would be on 36 points.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The person on the most points after the four days wins 65% of the kitty, the person with the highest odds winner, wins 10% of the kitty and the person with the most wins also receives 10% of the kitty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also pay out 10% for the runner-up and 5% for third place.<\/p>\n

On entries of 200 that would mean: 1st \u00a32600, 2nd \u00a3400, 3rd \u00a3200,<\/p>\n

Most wins \u00a3400, highest odds \u00a3400.<\/p>\n

There would be a minor amount deducted for operating costs.<\/p>\n

All monies received are paid out apart from minimal expenses. The winners receive their cash after the last race on the Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year we had over a hundred and eighty people enter and for an entrance fee of \u00a320 it keeps you involved right up to the last race. Every race is shown live here at Pockets and a leaders board is posted in the club at the end of each days racing. The leaders board will also be posted each day on our blog at<\/strong><\/p>\n
