Seeing as Elbows has completely ruined our fun by imitating Tiger Woods in his prime while the rest of us are 28-handicappers, I will run a separate Day 2-4 comp for anyone who wants to enter.

Very simple.

1. Enter your poop-flinging 100/1 shots as per usual - these are you entries to the main elbows chip race comp.
2. Enter your Day2-4 comp selections in a second table in the same post. I will tabulate them as a separate comp and post results, leaderboards here as per usual.
3. Payment direct to the winner on the honour system.

[Raoul Duke III]

St Patricks Day and we bang in 6/7 winners on the day and just a short head away from a sweep. Henry de Bromhead pound for pound the best Cheltenham trainer out there imo.

The competition however is still all about one man, despite a couple of our squirrels finding a 33/1 nut today. Looking for something dramatic tomorrow to even get our leader mildly concerned...

Former dual champion Sitch among those who fell by the wayside today, just unable to go the speed that elbows is setting here. A dope test may be ordered by the jockey club to investigate the reasons behind this dramatic improvement.
