Ten To Follow

[Mike]

Hi
The Ten To Follow competition is back and being an old favourite of mine I fully recommend this one for a bit of fun. 🙂 For those who have not dabbled before you have to select a list of ten horses from a list of five hundred or so supplied by the competition hosts and each time your selection wins you accumulate points dependent on its SP and grade of race etc.
The list which has the best points total wins the relevant monthly or competition prize. The monthly prizes are usually about ten thousand pounds and the final prize pay out can be as high as two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
No one says it will be easy you are taking on the professional syndicates etc here but I am sure we can come up with list or two between us. As it is meant to be a bit of fun if anyone wants to join in just drop me a note and I will fund a few lines under the goalpoststowinningposts logo and we can share the winnings.
If you are not sure what to back I will print a list of possibilities and let each member choose a couple of entries. The obvious selections will be horses such as the unbeaten Altior who is likely to remain unbeaten and win big prize money races along the way. However that is just an example and likely to be in 90% of all the entries.
Just let me know if you want to join in…its just a bit of fun. 🙂

Hi
For those wishing to make there own entries here is a link to the tote site which hopefully explains everything https://tote.co.uk/ten-to-follow

Hi
We have a handful of runners going in at the start of the competition and although unfortunately Paisley Park and Champ have already won this was the day before the competition started, but such is life. 🙁
Yesterday as the competiton started we had a runner in Mister Malarkey who ran with credit but could not start us off. We have a few chances today by way of Honeysuckle, Bacradys, Fakir D’Oudaries and Envoi Allen who all run at Fairyhouse.

Hi Mike
None too shabby yesterday.
If nothing else, it adds a little more interest to the racing without having to dip into your pocket.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed, its off to a good start.

All the best
Nick

Hi Nick
The thread has certainly kicked off in style as all four of Sundays runners won and this has obviously kick started all the lines. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Just to say that due to the current lockdown it looks as though the competition will come to a premature end but such is life. We did not win anything this time around and although reaching a decent position (as mentioned in the previous post) we will probably end the competition with our best line being ranked at around 484 which is still not to shoddy considering the 58,845 entries.
I hope this has given you an idea of how this works and hopefully we will get a few more joining in next years competition. 🙂

Hi Joe
I will update the full ten to follow details when I know who else is joining in and will post them once the entries have been confirmed.
If anyone else is joining in let me know by Thursday 12 noon as the entries have to be in by Thursday night. 🙂
As an additional update after receiving an email querying the topic you just pick the ones you fancy regardless as to whether ie Joe has already selected the same one.

Hi
The lines have been entered and are as listed below but were subject to some of the original listed options not being available or being out for the season. I have made up the remainder of the lines and should the line where you have selected the base five selections win you will be eligible for 40% of any prize money won and will also be eligible for 10% of any winnings from any of the other lines.
This should keep the interest going through to the end of the season. 🙂

Hi
Not quite the start we were looking for but at least five of the six lines managed to get off the mark with Abracadabras 28.42 points, The Big Breakaway 12.4 points and Saint Roi with 1.10 points.
Most of our selections will end up running in the big races on the weekends and I will attempt to update the thread every so often. Should you wish to be notified when the entries run, just post your entries into one of the many free horse trackers such as http://www.irishracing.com/horsetracker
