Horse racing fans around the UK are being urged to take part in a quiz to test how much they know about the sport!

Ahead of the Cheltenham Festival – which starts tomorrow – people are being encouraged to join in, in what’s being described as possibly one of the hardest horse racing quizzes to date.

The say-what-you see game is centered on an image containing 50 clues all of which correspond to the names of horses – some are running at the Festival.

Daniel Thomas is Head of Editorial and Social Content at Paddy Power Betfair. He said: “While we have some of the best racing insight in the business through our ambassadors and tipsters, we wanted to use the build-up to Cheltenham as a chance to take a more light-hearted look at the Festival.

“We were all hopelessly addicted to the Find50 Football Clubs game so thought a Cheltenham Horses version from the guys at Reflect would be a perfect way to get our social followers having a bit of fun – as well as tearing their hair out – ahead of the serious punting next week.”

Christopher Brady is Social Media Content Manager at Paddy Power Betfair. He said: “There have been so many memorable moments at Cheltenham, this was a great fun way to recall some of the heroes of past festivals.

“People like to think they know horses – let’s see them prove it.

“We’ve had over 2,000 players so far – just ten people have been able to complete it.

“It’s definitely proving tough. Different people are struggling with different clues, which goes to show – it’s only easy when you know the answer!”

Becky Simms is Managing Director at Kent-based Reflect Digital, the company behind the game. She said: “Betfair were huge fans of our Football quiz and were in the select few that completed all 50, so we were really excited when they approached us for a horse variation.

“It’s even tougher than the football one as horse names can be so obscure!

“Our creative team did a great job in bringing the horse names to life as pictorial clues.

“We’re excited to see the love for the game build as the Cheltenham festival kicks off.”
