some of you may remember me posting a while ago about me buying several horse racing prints by an artist charles johnson payne who lived untill 1967 went under the sudo name of "snaffles " anyway i bought a batch of them for peanuts several framed and several unframed they are olde world type 1920s type national hunt racing racing scenes ,type in snaffles art in google and you will see his work anyway thet have been stuck in a cupboard and doing fook all and to be honest will probably stay there till i can be arshed to take em up to an auction house or whatever as said i got them for buttons at a car boot so they owe me nothing and the missus wont have em up on the wall . they have the embossed blind stamp and signature on all of them.
but someone on here might like one and get it framed or whatever they want to do with it and with the festival coming up i though t we could have a little comp and i will donate one of the unframed prints as a prize for the winner ......dont know if there will be any interest but we will see . fire away ...
its a simple free to enter comp and i will send the print to the winner at my expense . the winner will be the person (if any want to participate ) who tips the biggest priced winner at the festival so potentially depending how it goes you could win with a selection under 10/1 depending on results fire away you got up to the last race of the festival to enter your selection . by the way these prints are not cheap photo copy repros and are on quality thick carded paper with an embossed

Dear FOYLESWAR, I thank you for promoting this competition whilst, at the same time, commiserating with you on the vast amount of work it has unleashed for yourself. You have opened up and unleashed a tsunami!
And well done GEORGE.B on coming to his assistance and relieving a huge part of his burden.
The demand has been astonishing.

early morning riser must have had a lay in posting at that time ...good luck emr
Indeed, I hope you backed it ew, sp 28/1 was a bit tight.
fire away you got up to the last race of the festival to enter your selection
has become 1.30 tuesday cut off?
has become 1.30 tuesday cut off?
yes wonders i didnt put a lot of thought into the rules but was thinking if everyone blew out come friday then someone coud stick up a shortie and win it so 1.30 cut off fairer to all.
fair enough but 64 losers out of 64 ye of little faith 
ill prob do another one for aintree or royal ascot wonders ,will think it out better !
It;s the thought that counts mate. Refine it a little and I am sure we will all come back.
ill have a word with george b or undecided on how to refine the next one they are seasoned campaigners in these comps lark
too late irishone the cut off point was rearranged to 1.30 tuesday to make it fairer for everyone ,dont worry i will probably do a comp for either aintree or royal ascot with one of the prints as a prize ,
Giovinco ran an absolute cracker, unlucky Bin Bagged but well done if you backed 1st 3
well done dancingbrave your in the lead by 6l with 2 circuits to go and going well.
Cheers Foyles.....problem is i'm not a strong stayer
Stronger stayer than me DB - NR so I'm out - good luck to DB and all still running
vidou ill get in touch with george b he has more exp on how these comps work ,but if you have had a non runner ,then may be we can arrange something ,im sure i put up somewhere nrs can be substituted , after all not your fault you have a nonner !
ok viou put your replacement selection up before 1.30 if possible good luck.
looks like dancingbrave still 6 lengths clear going out into the final circuit .
Apologies Foyles just seen earlier post been out all day. Will sit back and watch the competition unfold thanks for running it and putting up a lovely prize. GL to all still running
vidou you can still post a selection as long as its before 1.30 tommorow good luck.
3:30 chelt, HEWICK now a non runner. Could I now have The Real Whacker thank you.Foyles
OK Foyles thanks for letting me have another go - Favoir in the County Hurdle cheers
Dancing City 2.50 for me please Foyles. Could be overpriced as Townend's not riding it. Danny's ridden it to its last 2 wins on testing ground though.
driver2late, surely?
If he's/she's not then please my Cheltenham Festival Competition selection is...
Pied Piper - 2.10 today.
Thanks.

Congratulations DancingBraveTheBest, I think good karma for being a truth-seeker and fighting the good fight 
Thanks again Foyles for putting this nice prize up for grabs.

Well done Foyles for donating the prize and George for tabulating entries. Congratulations, DB...it wasn't a photo finish, but enjoy looking at the print
dancingbrave i will pm ya today to get your postage details and get it sent off to you. well done !
Well done foyles for a great prize donation, is there any chance of a banksy for the Ascot comp
ha ha sorry no banskys im sorry to say but there will still be 4 snaffles to choose from ,was thinking royal ascot would be best to run another comp plenty of days of top quality racing ,was considering the grand nation meeting as well.
Thank you very much Foyles for the opportunity to win a prize donated by yourself. Been a fun competition....my heart goes out to JCM and The Jukebox Man....still cant quite believe it got caught!!
I know there has been a lot of debate on another thread regarding Langer Dan and like I said in the thread horse racing like life I feel is a game and its those that play the game best get what they want. Of course Langer Dan was laid out for this race....there is only 1 Cheltenham Festival after all and am sure he will attempt to do the same again so to anyone thinking of having a bet on Langer Dan I would wait until next March. (Langer Dan will probably run up a sequence now Ive said that).
Anyway have a great weekend all.....lots of great rugby and football on.....and a final thanks to Foyleswar......cheers m8

Well done. Thanks for the competition, Foyles. Just looking at the forums selections, just proves how hard it is to get a good priced winner at Cheltenham!

yes your not wrong trident i put up a few winners at decent prices inc a 33/1 pop and a few 40/1 sp placers and a of course the obligatory losers ,it is hard there but the concessions help ! some good ones form 365 and the extra places.
WD DancingBraveTheBest and unlucky JCM, your selection would have been a cracking winner, but take nothing away from DBTB.
WD Foyleswar for donating a nice prize and to George for his collating skills.
As intimated by many, all good fun, even if there was no chequered flag for my selection Bunting.
