Well done - in the 2,000's for me. Can't wait to win the Flat competition though. Always Dreaming

Massive chop in prize money for Flat-£50k for winner & formerly £10k for monthly now down to £2.5k

Winner had Simonsig, Sir Des Champs & Champagne Fever to my Oscar Whiskey, Grands Crus & Flemenstar, just to re-emphasise the small margins it boils down to.

Grand Crus probably sunk most lists. None of the top ten took any risks. They just had the right combination of horses. Well done to them.
It's not so much ten to follow as avoid the zero. I think it's farewell from me after 18 years of trying. There's not much joy in this comp now. Ruined by bonus races, injuries and (lack of) monthly prizes. Good luck people. |

I think I'm with you REM. I've been entering the TTF since the very first one. Was lucky to win £6.8k for sixth place in the flat in 2005 when the winner won £160k. They have destroyed the competition and it doesn't hold the same interest for me anymore.
Note the lack of a Flat TTF thread here which was unheard of in previous years. I just wish that some other organisation would run a TTF and do it properly. |

Top line 3000 ish. Rubbish year for me, made the shortlist far too big (50) with the half price lines. Also tried far too hard to include stupid handicap "wildcards" - got a few big points off the odd one, but should have done what the winners did and stuck to tight combos of the obvious. Big comedown after being the top 100 all the way through last year's comp, and a top 10 at Chelt the year before!
Will play the flat for a few interest lines, but nothing on the same scale, and not running my syndicate for it. |
