Thank you everyone for participating in yesterday's contest. Yesterday's contest challenged us to learn how to use Markdowns. A markdown is a "simple markup language that allows you to write, using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write, plain text format... " . This can then be "converted into another markup language, such as HTML. [Source](https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/markdown-the-ins-and-outs--net-25482)

I thought it was important to pose this challenge to you because participants will acquire a skill that is not only relevant on Steemit, but could be applied in a real life career.

Now, to the answer. I asked for participants to duplicate what I created, exactly as I did. Those who did not pay attention to details, forgot to include the numbering. For that reason, they did not win. 

Winners have received their upvote.

**Here is the question for today**

Name the winner of the just concluded Grand National Race 2018.


**How to win**

* Comment with the correct answer

* Wait for your prize

The first person to provide the correct answer will receive the first prize. The second person to provide a correct answer will receive the second prize and so on.  I have noticed some copy/paste action so this time, there will be only 2 consolation prizes of at least a $0.10 upvote. Time is of the essence.

* First prize - an upvote worth $0.50

* Second prize - an upvote worth $0.30

* Third prize - an upvote worth $0.20

Contest ends 16:00 GMT on Sunday  April 15, 2018. The winners will receive their upvotes soon after. Good luck!
