Tote Ten To Follow (Jumps) 2022/2023

[BigG]

Short and sweet this week as I have a lot on my plate. The league had no movers
whatsoever, which was to be expected. I doubt that’s going to be the way it is
until the Fairyhouse and Aintree meetings I reckon. There’s not a lot to get
excited about at Uttox or Stratford this weekend, the flat is in full swing
which doesn’t help us a lot.

Looks like another week off, enjoy the flat if you’re having a go, my pick
in the Lincoln, for what it’s worth, is Wanees. Good luck and here is how it
looked last week too.

Ok, I’ve no idea what happened, I pointed out that it,
as expected, was another frozen week. I went on to do
a run down on the only race that had any bearing on the
league, which was the WillowWarm Gold Cup at Fairyhouse
on Sunday. I gave a run down of the main participants,
thought I’d copied and pasted the lot, after adding the
TTTF League scores, and all that came up was the TTTF
website scores (above).

I can’t be ars*d doing them all again, suffice to say
that if they all turn up, unlikely, it would be some
race.

Best of luck

[BigG]

Apologies for not having a report earlier in the week,
I’ll do a doubler on Monday. I an say that the top 2,
Man Superstars and Edantony remain in their positions.
Full update after the Aintree weekend

[BigG]

Best of luck today all, this is it and its still wide open.
I should have put the league as it stands on the TTTF site.
The Champion will be crowned shorty after the final race.

Good luck

This is how we stand

Quite a week for Mike (Man Superstars) who ran out winner of
the Aintree Competition and is the Theracingforum TTTF Jumps
Champion of 2022/2023

You’re making a habit of this mike, you certainly know how to
put a winning stable together. Jonbon today just cemented it.
Brilliant stuff mate. I’ll PM you with the £50 winners prize

Numpty Goes Jumping that was a superb effort from yourself John
and Jonbon was the one that saw you jump over Edentony to take the
runners up medal. As it happens, the £25 prize for 2nd place was
in fact donated as the runner up last year by the very same Edantony.
Well done mate and I’ll PM you to transfer your prize.

A big thankyou to Edantony for that generous donation. A touch
of class about that Tony, nicely done

Sultans Of Swing takes the final place on the podium with a great
score. I’m sorry there’s no prize for 3rd place but my hearty
congratulations for putting up such a good show

Many thanks to all who took part and made it an enjoyable
league. It chopped and changed many a time and was a decent
bit of fun. Thanks to all that took part

Here are the final standings as per the TTTF jumps site.

Just thought I’d let Edantony know that his donation of £25 for the runner up,
John Gooch (Numpty Goes Jumping) was very kindly donated by John to the Hillside
Animal Sanctuary who do such a brilliant job of saving all kinds of animals, and
many horses bound for the slaughter house.

A big thankyou to Tony for his donation and John for donating his prize to a
really great charity. Jac (Triptych) will be delighted as she is very involved
with them and pointed me in the right direction to help them out. Things like
this make this small competition even more satisfying. Well done guys

Well the jumps competition has finished but I’m sure it won’t be long until
the Flat Competition rears it’s head. I’ll keep a lookout.

Thanks again to one and all for getting involved, it’s much appreciated

[Mike007]

Thanks for the score updates during the season BigG. It was a tightly fought contest all season going right in to the last day. Wd to the Numpty team and the Sultans team for ‘getting on the podium’ and Edantony for his kind contribution.

[Triptych]

Well done Mike another great win this week and a great stable you put together..

Many congrats to all finishers on the Podium and to Edantony for his generous contribution of £25 to runner up John Gooch who is definitely no Numpty.

John thank you so much for generously donating your prize to Hillside Animal Sanctuary, it will make such a difference to the animals they care for including several ex racehorses saved from slaughter and living out their lives peacefully at the Sanctuary.

As for my Dark Angels stable this time around well I think I had some good horses, the trouble being everyone else had them too. lol

Many thanks to Graham for all the time and effort put into this each week.
You can now put your feet up with a wee dram and start studying up for the Scottish Grand National.

Look forward to the next one.
Well done everyone.
Jac

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

[ep1987]

Well done to Mike on the win and nice to hear that some money is going to a good cause too.

[Mike007]

Thanks all.

[ep1987]

Correction to the scores by the Tote today (Jonbon points were double counted which I had sort of noticed) but the top 4 remain in the same order in our league.

In the main competition the leader going into the final day jumped back up from 8th to 4th after the correction which is some consolation (he must have been fuming that the Maghull was such a weak race and/or that El Fabiolo didn’t travel over).

[BigG]

Thanks for that ep1987, that’s a huge gaff by the Tote. The way they have set
out their site, which is pretty punter unfriendly, it doesn’t really surprise
me. I’ve had to contact them in previous TTTF competitions when they got the
scoring wrong. Thankfully, as ep pointed out, our winner and those on the
podium were not affected by their incompetence. I hope they sort their gremlins
before the flat competition starts.

[SamD]

For info, the 2023 Flat Ten To Follow game will be open for entries from Monday 22 May:
https://tote.co.uk/ten-to-follow/flat/

Thanks for running the thoroughly enjoyable Jumps mini-league, BigG. Congratulations to both prize winners.

[BigG]

You’re welcome Sam

I’ll get a league set up when it’s open. I’ll need to start
studying for the flat if I’ve to do better than I did for
the jumps

[John Gooch]

Hello to everyone

BigG Good news that you are going to set up a league for the new
Tote Ten To Follow competition.

I have found both my Crystal Ball & Lucky Pin and have made a start
to deciding who to chose. The good news is that the later start gives
us all a chance to get to know more about the form book through May.

Newmarket Chester York The Curragh and Leopardstown should offer big clues for
the classic 3-Y-O’s both Colts & Fillies.

Once again many thanks

[BigG]

I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled John Problem is so many that will come
out of the woodwork the week after you’ve stuck in your bleedin 10 To Follow.
It’s enough to make you spit
