Greyhoundderby.com Weekly Challenge

Horse Racing Competition
During the enforced self-isolation period many people will be missing their weekend horse racing entertainment and yearning for it to return as swiftly as possible. We know that this year’s Grand National has been lost to Coronavirus, while the odds on Royal Ascot going ahead lengthen by the day, but many will be aware that Ireland initially allowed one meeting a day to take place ‘behind closed doors’, and ITV agreed to show races from that meeting each Saturday. On 25th March 2020 Ireland finally decided to abandon their policy of holding a race meeting daily until 19th April 2020 at the earliest. To relieve the boredom of self-isolation and provide a fix for your horse racing habit, I am proposing to continue to operate a free competition every third day for interested parties until racing resumes. Furthermore, I know that many of you enjoy visiting racing stables on tours organised by Racing Clubs, or annual Open Days at Newmarket, Lambourn, Middleham and Malton. In order to wet your appetite for when such tours begin again, I will be providing a comprehensive history of a racing stable each time I run a quiz. You will see your quiz scores increase over time, because I will be providing 'hints' to those participants who struggle to score highly in early rounds.
Starting on Friday 27th March 2020, and continuing every third day, from 8am to 9pm I will put a simple 20 question horse racing quiz on the website which will enable participants to be awarded points. Participants can email me their answers by 9pm on each quiz day. The points you accumulate will be ready for you to gamble on races as soon as horse racing resumes.
Whilst I am not offering a monetary prize, there will be a Gold, Silver and Bronze medal board each quiz, as well as a wooden spoon.
If you would like to take part in this weekly competition, which will run throughout the period of self-isolation, then email me so that I can send you a link to the next Quiz.

This competition is open to all site visitors, so if you would like to take part then email johnwslusar@gmail.com
