TEN TO FOLLOW - FLAT 2011 THREAD - Books available to pre-order on RP website now.

Nice one for posting that Waiting,no huge surprises,though thought there would be more Snow Fairy's and no sign of Cape Blanco

Cape Blanco added to only 132 lists;however,appeared in a large number of initial lists-6,594
The interest in this list to me lies mainly in finding out whether your "dark horse"proves to be as dark as you had hoped,whether number of the additional listings for particular horse are broadly as expected by you or otherwise
Good news for Laughing Lashes supporters-added to only 18 lists,new total 1,198

Well I'm still hanging in on the fringes and managed to sub in a horse not in those top 25, but I'd be surprised if I can make up much ground. Impressed with the leader having Blue Bunting and Misty For Me, and having only 9 scoring horses so far.

What I don't understand is why the subs are limited to the original 500 horses when so many live contenders are not on the list.

Still think the flat competition should start at Epsom.

But hey, not too long to wait for the jumps...

Good luck Doobs.

What an awful race

It was terrible,we should all put TTF to the back of our minds after that today

That wasn't the best result for me, but I think the Twice Over result has done for me in the mmonthly.  A fella above me has him, Frankel and Goldikova, and that covers my route past the leaders.

Time to concentrate on the overall I guess

rip rewilding

Lady of the Desert has been retired (brought in Zoffany as cover and hopefully Wootton Bassett will revert to 6f when he comes back) but the one that is seriously pissing me off is Sans Frontieres.

"He'll start in the Yorkshire Cup" - no show; "He'll start in the Hardwicke" - no show; "He'll start in the Princess of Wales" - no show; "Sans Frontiere will make his seasonal reappearance in the Glorious Stakes" - no he won't. Why can't they just STFU or tell the truth about the horse?

And wtf is going on with the yard? Currently 37 wins from 147 runs (strike rate of 26%, level stake profit of £29.82 to a £1 stake) but win prize money of only £141,462. That's an average of £3,822 per race. Save yourself some money Jez, quit Newmarket and take a barn at Wolverhampton.

Lady of the Desert going is the last straw for my best overall entry.

Strong Suit +323 (492)

How can they not aim him at the Foret after that?

Goldikova out again today - nice 25 points on offer, and of course Famous Name in a Gp 1 in Munich.

25 Goldi points indeed,not seen alot of the mare's wins but from reading always seems to have a telling burst of speed 1 or 2 out and hold off a fast finisher
don't reckon the bonus subs has had a major impact so far imo

Particularly with the sad demise of Rewilding, who must have been one of the most popular subs.

Yep Rewilding was the 2nd most popular bonus sub i think

Canford Cliffs has been retired to stud

http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=racing/11/08/04/RACING_Canford_Snap.html

I'm up in 173rd now.
Wins for Sea Moon in the Voltiguer and Leger would help. 

Boooooom

Nice one. 9,30 on the PMU. looks like you'll have a good run for your money.

superb , no one down to 654 pts has Moonlight so guessing that she scored 32pts today ad 671 should take you ito the top ten

Nice!

3rd.  Not long to hold now.

Now all I need is for Frankel's connections to announce it is running in the International.

I managed to sub Await The Dawn into what was my second list. 

Seriously, the last day of the ttf is going to be pretty significant this year. There are bound to be a whole load of bullets to dodge on champion's day.

well done dooberama and good luck i have made it to 130th= on leaderboard but went on holiday and thought subs were when i came back so havent got a backstop in AWD, need a miracle to catch you and other leaders without any subs

HUNGARIAN sprinter Overdose, as short as 10-1 with Ladbrokes and Paddy Power for the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes at York next Friday, has been scratched from the race.

Unbeaten in his first 14 starts, the ‘Budapest Bullet' suffered a surprise defeat in a Group 2 at Baden-Baden last year, but got back to winning ways at Hoppegarten in April.

He was sent off the 9-4 favourite for his British debut in the Temple Stakes at Haydock in May, but was only seventh of 12.

He ran much more creditably in the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot, finishing fourth behind Prohibit.

25 points for Cape Blanco winning Arlington Million.

well done Doob.

What a surprise, I've sneaked on to the monthly leaderboard.

Trouble is I have most of the high scoring horses, but split over two lists. I think York will bring only further frustration, but still have two secret weapons in the Nunthorpe that could propel me into the thick of things.

Anyhow, a touch of autumn in the early morning air tells me that jumps are getting closer.

I am the highest scorer with Seville in their list; 16th overall. I dont have Midday (cost me overall prize last year) though. I have a Battalion of groups that would be propelled into the fight also by Seville; with a whole host of York runners. Most of the leaders have negated their subs full scoring potential which will see more people boosted upwards should any of them score. The contest is much more open than in the past at this stage, and that is what is keeping me from getting overly excited at the moment.

Regards Eurystheus...

good going there sisyphus
94th here,i'll kick myself if Twice Over wins the judd,toyed with this a bonus horse with 3 bonus races left at 1m 2f,knowing for cert you'll have a runner on last day of comp as it bids for a hattrick of wins,also read the Sunday in the post five days before the subs window closed that it breezed 8l clear of Tranquil Tiger on the gallops and heads for the group 2 at York (23rd July) opening day for bonus pts,duly wins for 20pts,ah well nevermind

Good Luck tomorrow Sis

Midday and Sea Moon (particularly in the Leger) would see me go up the table.

It's be great if someone from this thread won. :)

It won't be me as I needed Midday to hold on for max points. Sea Moon could be shrewd TTF.

well i got as high as 56= but twice over has done for me, badly needed midday to win

I'm up to 649pts.
Midday losing seems to have put me out of it.
But I have Sea Moon in 12 lists, some original but mose subbed.
Might help Sept.

Fame and Glory in a listed race today.

644 for me, but that list had Bated Breath who failed in the Nunthorpe, so it's curtains for us now.

JOCI, do you have Sea Moon anywhere?
He would give you hope for the Sept prize, and even maybe that elusive Leger/Arc double?

Sadly, no.

Just looked at leaderboard.
The current leader DID NOT MAKE ANY SUBS.

Well JOCI, I wouldn't turn my nose up at £10k, but if I'm gonna win the bog one, I want to do it over the sticks (for 10 times as much money). 

*big one. 

Fame and Glory misses penalty kick.

Very surprised how few Blue Bunting lists have stayed in touch despite having the 2nd top scoring horse.

Not a good Ebor week for me. 

My top list dropped from 3rd to 184th.  Fame and Glory missed today, and I put Snow Fairy in a ton of lists in the subs. She is then denied a run in one of the softest group ones in years.

I know I put Blue Bunting in a couple, but no idea where they are as I can't seem my lists on the site.  Is it just me who is having this trouble?

Still 40 odd points from the money isn't dead yet.

Pour Moi not running in the Arc will increase the chances of a horse included in the competition winning that race.

2 big weekends coming up.

I can't view my lists on the site, but I can see the leaderboard.

Disappointed with Misty for Me today.

Dream Ahead and So You Think in the top two lists. 

Good race that earlier,thought Snow Fairy was going to win 2 out.Can we forget her now in this comp with Hong Kong etc.......? like to see have a crack at The Arc with a bigger field
Back in the hunt Doob

It's a one horse comp for me now - SEA MOON.

It's a one horse comp for me now - SEA MOON.

Anything not in the comp to win please

I think Seville will be a big player especially if they get some more of the torrential rain they had over the weekend. The pace of the Voltiger was muddling, the race played right into the hands of Sea Moon, who was able to switch off and tuck in behind. Seville will not be held up at Doncaster, he will set his own pace and draw out the sting from the sprinters. If the ground comes up soft then up with the pace is where you will need to be. I also think the sharpness of Epsom and York were against Seville where both tracks have favoured hold up horses this year. Docaster will suit him much better as it did in the Racing post trophy last Autumn.

Hope you're right!

Big day today.

Top list has Fame and Glory, St Nicholas Abbey and Sarafina in it.  Go go go.

Sea Moon looks good on paper, but I detect a few wobbles in the market. I'd like to see Seville come in, but with Sadbrokes happy to take it on I guess that's cooked. Masked Marvel a decent ew shout judging by the vibes.

Sooner this flat rubbish is over the sooner we're all jumping again!

31st and 69th   Not many differentiators left though.

Good going!

WP Doobs,

1 point off the current leaderboard is the best we can offer!

I've 699 in my top entry - I'm thinking wistfully of Sea Moon. 

Casamento was a nice surprise for one of my lines. Now if it could win a few more before romping away with the Arc...

Didn't notice Casamanto what did it win?

See it now, French Group 2. Bonus!

Group 3!

Casamento doesn't make much diffference, if only somebody could persuade Michael Stoute to pick up a  group 3 in France with Carlton House before picking up the Champion Stakes

Puts me on to 133 in monthly which is only real hope for us.

Dick Turpin extends the leaders lead

Roll on The Jumps!

Just me then?

Loads of runners this weekend

[ ] that worked well.

Goldikova should be in bold in the second list.

The leader is missing workforce, St Nicholas Abbey and Snow Fairy.

GL Doobs - I'm way too far away for the main prize.

But I'm always hopeful of the October prize.

I'll take a look and see if I'm on the monthly leaderboard on Sunday night.

Thanks

Is there an October Prize?  Isn't it likely to get split 100 ways?

Doobs - it's 1st - 15th October.
Running from Arc meeting to Champion's day at Assot with Cesarewitch meeting in middle.
It could easily have a single winner, but might be shared.

Going to start to check out my runner permutations in that case!

Going to start to check out my runner permutations in that case!

JOCI.
You can say that again. 

[;)]

Danedream (not in comp)winning the Arc, throws the October £10K open a bit.

Best we can muster is 4 lists on 54 points.

If snow fairy wins tomorrow, I think I cash.  If any others win, I think it is just another heroic failure

I don't think the second list can win, so am booing Fame and Glory.  So You Think and Frankel aren't going to make any difference, but would be good if they could keep the likes of midday away from the 2nd.  I guess Dream Ahead and Moonlight Cloud could bump me up a couple of places too

Go on Snow Fairy, mow them down in the last furlong

Dream Ahead? 

I'll cheer SF on for you Doobs.

Last throw of the dice today.

Have a list on 54 points for October.

Has:

Frankel 50
Moonlight Cloud 20
Midday 54
Snow Fairy 12

In the mix?

Good luck Dooberama!

Ended up on 144 in monthly.

I cheered her on Doobs and she was unclucky, could have made it a 3 way finish.

Good luck for the jumps everyone.  I will post me top flat entry on here over the weekend.

Me too.

Already started the form study for the 'proper' competition!

Well done.

777 for me, despite zero from subs.

Roll on the jumps for some proper excitement.

Never really felt in the game...was always clinging on to the bottom of the leaderboard. Pathfork doing a no show after the Guineas didn't really help.

As you say, roll on the jumps - got the book in front of me now!

49th and 61st in the end.

Snow Fairy seemed to get boxed in a bit.

Maybe next year I can win the 10k? first prize

Unlucky - good season though for you!

16th overall, just a group 2 away from the money

Good effort.

good going that, we must get a top 10 between us over the jumps now

Will be giving it my best!

Me too.
Well done guys.
Lets hope it's at last £250k.

Bokk says a guaranteed £250k to overall winner.
