--2014 TEN TO FOLLOW FLAT BOOKS NOW AVAILABLE--

Believe Monthly Prizes may be back for the Flat Ten2Follower

Woohoo!
Maybe 20 lists then! 

1030 best of my lists. Lesson for future perhaps in that out of my 38 lists the 2 highest place ones were the first two I selected.

Wrong thread & my post about £50k flat prize & £2.5k monthlies would have been better off on here probably!

This seems even more disorganised than usual. 

Is there a market on whether the competition will go ahead?

In for a few lines still I guess.

Moaned it in.

The Ten To Follow Flat competition launches next Wednesday (24th April). Points scoring runs from Sat 4th May to Sat 19th October.

Always the same for me, can barely remember any of the horses from last season, or if any of them will be running again this season.

What older horses remain in training (apart from St Nicholas Abbey)?

Oh no - I called it 2014. 

Ha I got the year wrong on the original thread last year.  I started a new one!

Just use it again next year, make the TTF look really popular

£2500. monthly  pr.izes.  £50,000  minimum to winner.

Website up & running & they have added quite a few that aren't in the book. Animal Kingdom, Hot Snap, Intello, Moth for starters.

Can t seem to find the website.Andm the book this year didn t have entry rules.Could someone post the site.
Thanks

Unbelievable!70 more horses added that aren,t in the book. no info on rules. no info on the bonus races,nevermind the extra bonus races added!even the odd error on the horses that are in there! _see Sapphire,for example, wrong form figures! FRED,what are you doing!!!

I suppose the Zarooni horses that weren't drugged up to the eyeballs will also be delayed.

So, not much enthusiasm then?

I've done 17 lists.

Not happy about the book either.

Entries just completed.

Is there a facility for doing a perm?

I've been trying to re-activate my Tote account.  I was asked for a passport scan, I sent it, they said "verified", and I still can't access my account.  Poor.  Non-triers.

And its sorted. I'm in.

Decent start with Dawn Approach winning and Ocovango picking up a Group 2 in France.

Decent Start continues with:

Dawn Approach 52.5
Sky Lantern 60.0
Ocovango 21.8
Just The Judge 18.8
Moth 3.1

Total 156.2

Camelot to come in the Group 3 Mooresbridge tomorrow.

Very good JOCI.

Moth now favourite for Oaks too.

I started by taking Dawn Approach off my first list and replacing him with George Vancouver.

A 'Hamlet' moment.

Decent Start continues with:

Dawn Approach 52.5
Sky Lantern 60.0
Ocovango 21.8
Just The Judge 18.8
Camelot 16.2
Moth 3.1

Total 172.4

Where can I find horses with points?  I don't see them on Tote.co.uk.

Site not updated with scores yet.....probably tomorrow.

The rankings are up now.  JOCI Club 10 is the leader.  Well done.

JOCI!
JOCI!
JOCI!

WOW - What a scintillating start!
Many congratulations JOCI.
Hope you hang on for the May monthly prize.
What are your other four in that list?

No prizes for being top now lads. Let's see how we stand after Royal Ascot.

The other four in the list are:

Toronado
Cirrus Des Aigles
St Nicholas Abbey
Kingsbarns

Isn't it about time they updated the scores?

Thanks JOCI.     
I thought  that I had a  good list (below) - but  within just a few days  you had ''blown me out of the water'!
Spectacular  -  Hope you can keep your nose in front, although there is a long way to go.
Hope springs eternal!

My list :
Dawn Approach
Hot Snap
Battle of Marengo
Intello*
Camelot
Cirrus des Aigles
Cityscape
Moonlight Cloud
Mount Athos
Sole Power

Cheers, but it doesn't really mean that much to be up there at this early stage, and a few winners for other folk and I'll be easily overhauled. It will be key for my non scorers to get off the mark e.g. St Nick winning the Coronation Cup, Toronado to bounce back in the St James Palace and then classy beats Kingsbarns and Cirrus Des Aigles to make their long awaited comebacks.

You were a bit unlucky with Intello. I thought he was going to be one omission I was going to regret.

Indeed Intello may yet prove to be your 'achille's heel' - but then you have Ocovango (and there is hardly room for both). Difficult decisions!
My big gamble was leaving out SNA although he looks to have 50 pts in his pocket just for starters, barring acts of God.
Wouldn't it be so much easier if were Twenty to Follow!
Good luck.

Liber Nauticus won today...have her in quite a few lists.

Back up to 31st now after Just The Judge winning today, so that keeps us in contention.

Moth winning the Oaks would be HUGE!

Well done JOCI.

I've just got a couple of lists in the top 500.  Not kept copies of my lists, but Just the Judge will have been in them.

I had Al Kazeem, Encke and Farhh on my later drafts, but crossed all Godolphin horses out.

Here's to hoping I left AK in a few.

Would love to see:

St Nick wins Coronation
Moth wins Oaks
Ocovango / Dawn Approach 1-2 in Derby

Up to 18th now, despite not bagging the winner of the Oaks or the Derby, so nicely placed going into Royal Ascot.

I see that the ubiquitous Haleemab is back with his blanket permutations (Haleemab / Grundy / Ascot)!
How many entries in total I wonder.... looks like 500+? (Has anyone bothered to count them yet?)
To me it would seem more like hard work than fun, but each to his own!

Lots of points this week.

Time to start your jumps 10-2-follow Joci, Declaration of War blitzed you I think

I had D of W in a lot of my entries, but the website is down.

We had zilcho

I guess Toronado to beat Dawn Approach would help get us back on track.

1st / 2nd the other way round to being ideal there.

I'm up to 174th.

Also up to 315th with a line with today's first 3 winners.

170th with 320.1 points. Not as bad as I'd feared.

Al Kazeem is in my top list.
And I've a few more runners this week.

Nice, think that's blown me out now.

Up to 27th overall

Very well done!

Estimate has just put me top of the overall comp. 

Excellent! Bet you were riding it too in the last 100 yards!

Best of luck with Mince Saturday!

Thanks JOCI. 

Nice one TTF. If Mince and Telescope get their act together you'll be in with a decent shout of a prize. Rule the World could be the missing link.

See that you're 4th in the monthly too.

Good luck.

Cheers REM. 

Not really thinking I've much chance of monthly, but how much is it just in case? 

Think £2.5k

Congratulations T2F  -  Very well done! Keep it up!

Thanks all.

It's a long haul now - I think I've peaked too early.

No, I think this is a good time to be top 100. But things can change very quickly with the bonus races coming thick and fast. To make ground on you I really need Sky Lantern to beat JTJ (but can't see it happening).

Needed that Sky Lantern win, which pushed us up 249 places to 83rd.

Relying on Cirrus Des Aigles on Sunday now.

Still no news on Kingsbarns sadly, and I wonder whether the season will just slip by for this horse?

I've taken a tumble, but am going to rally. 

Oh well...

But, hey, top for a day is still quite an achievement.

Yes indeed, but anywhere in top couple of hundred and you're in contention at this stage, especially if one or two of your differentiators start scoring well.

In the words of the great Kid Creole.

"At least I get to keep the memories."

You and me both.

I make Robert Winchole 10 t0 follow legend slight favourite to bag the win

A win for Cirrus Des Aigles today would be nice!

I'm still 13th overall.

Correction.  I'm up to 3rd, they hadn't relisted the leaderboard.

Well done sir!

Still in 3rd place overall.

Sky Lantern losing yesterday probably helped.

Hopeful runners soon are Telescope, Liber Nauticus in the Irish Oaks, and St Nicholas Abbey (my star horse) in the KG.

Liber Nauticus out of Irish Oaks.

Telescope has pushed me back up to 2nd. 

Telescope ridden out against two eased down rivals, previously slaughtered by Opinion in a racecourse gallop, will be put away for next season now

SNA

you might still get lucky this weekend T2F as long as CDA does not win, looking through list of most popular horses, none of the other contenders seem to feature too highly so not on too many lists.

After that, I guess it depends on your other Juddmonte candidates etc.

I'm back up in third.

Nice - good result for us today too.

I'm down to 6th and have been dealt a double edged sword of information.

Liber Nauticus has been retired.  I'd been hoping for Galtres Stakes and Park Hill or even St Leger. 

Telescope is going for the Voltiguer. 

Declaration of War and Telescope have put me back up to overall 3rd.

Nice!

But Estimate has been pulled out of tomorrow's second race.

Surely she would have put me at the top?

I've gradually slipped down to 25th.
Not looking good, but a lucky run could still see me right.

Cirrus Des Aigles finally wins one!

Has everyone had their hopes snuffed out yet?

See the leader has seven of the top ten places. Quite impressive.

Anyhow, proper racing starts soon and I'll probably have an entry in the jumps comp for old times sake. Trouble is, with so many obvious horses likely to dominate the scoring it really cries out for monthly prizes to keep any interest going outside of the festival. Let's hope they see sense.

Yes, went from top of the leaderboard after week one to being pulled up, distressed.

My TTF season finished when Declaration of War wasn't declared for the Champion.

With him, Estimate and Dawn Approach possibly running, I could have got into the money.

Ah well there's always the NH.

The summer drought is almost over, although there are a couple of half decent races at Ascot this afternoon. But Cheltenham...

...that does get me excited.

No points today.
Slipped to 83rd overall.

It was fun. 

Good finish nonetheless.

Cirrus got me some points, but as he was one of my bankers, his haul for the season just wasn't enough, after a disappointing start to the season.

Iscarum must have sh1t his pants. hope he had a few bob on Olympic Glory
