COMPETITION: win tickets to Newbury Racecourse's big jumps day - the Ladbrokes Trophy
Sizing Tennessee & Tom Scudamore winning the 2018 Ladbrokes TrophyNewbury Racecourse are kindly giving marlborough.news and marlboroughequestrian.news five pairs of tickets for the Saturday (November 30) of their Ladbrokes Winter Carnival - that's the day of the £250,000 Ladbrokes Trophy.
The Trophy is the most valuable steeplechase anywhere in the country - bar the Grand National. This race was first run in 1957. Last year it was won by the Colin Tizzard trained Sizing Tennessee under Tom Scudamore - coming home ten lengths ahead of another Tizzard trained horse Elegant Escape.
So we are holding a competition - it's open to all our readers and five winners get a free pair of tickets. All we need is your name and email address (so Newbury Racecourse can contact you about the tickets) - and a couple of answers. Entries with the correct answers will go into a - large? - hat and the winning five names will be drawn.
Questions:
1. In 2015 the race was won by Smad Place - who trained him and where?
2. Between 2005 & 2015 which Lambourn trainer won the race two years running?
