COULD YOU BE THE NEXT TIPSTAR CHAMPION?
Remember our brilliant Tipstar competition? Some of the most-recognised racing faces on social media certainly do, as a number made their television debuts as they sent in a tip or appeared in our televised grand finals!
Well, Tipstar is back and even though we can't get you to the racecourse in these strange times, we can still give you a taste of TV fame - the #Tipstar2020 winner will be interviewed live on The Friday Club and will be able to share their tips on Racing TV's social media platforms and show just how good a judge they are for 12 weeks following the conclusion of the competition. Not only that but they will win a one-year subscription to the channel and a variety of other Racing TV goodies.
All you've got to do is send a video tip in for any Racing TV race you on the following Saturdays - November 21, November 28 and December 5. You'll need to use Twitter or Instagram, using the hashtag #Tipstar2020 and tagging in the @RacingTV account.
If you send your tip by Midday on Friday, there's a chance we might be sharing your wisdom with the world on the channel - but as long as you send us your tip by 11am on Saturday, you'll have a chance of being selected for the Grand Final.
Each week, we'll select two #Tipstar2020 entrants to join our finalists and then voting will open, and we will be asking people to vote on who they think should win.
The six finalists will each be given a race to preview at Cheltenham on Saturday, December 12 and each finalist must send in a preview video, no longer than 90 seconds, for their chosen race.
The overall winner will be decided by how many votes they receive plus the Tipstar panel, which will factor in presentation skills, the rationale behind the tip, and the tip itself.
