Cheltenham is round the corner and betterbet.com are sponsoring the big competition in the Racing Post - Select A Stable.

There's GBP75,000 up for grabs with a first prize of GBP50,000 and the good news is that the prizes HAVE to be won. This is a fantasy type competition where the prizes are awarded based on how many points your stable of horses score.

It costs GBP5.00 to enter a stable with a 'five stables for the price of four' discount available. It's easy to enter - you need to select 12 horses from four groups of bankers, strong fancies, good chances and outsiders - but pay careful attention to the bankers you select as these will count double points.

You have until 1.45pm on the first day on Tuesday to enter - but there's no reason not to enter straight away. Even if your horse is withdrawn between now and the race you are allowed two substitutions per stable.

You can enter online at www.selectastable.co.uk. Remember too that betterbet.com were the first bookmaker to go NON RUNNER NO BET for the Festival and the offer still applies.
