A shot in the dark.
The RP usually prints details of how many times each TTF horse has been selected, a couple or three weeks after the competition has started.

"KAUTO STAR crashing out at the final fence in Saturday’sBetfair Chase hit no fewer than 52,072 lists in the Racing Post/Tote Ten to Follow competition, as the season’s most popular horse failed to get punters off to the start they’d hoped for.

Barrington Davis from Croydon and bloodstock agent David Minton jointly head the early leaderboard, with no fewer than seven of their ten selections – they have exactly the same horses – already off the mark.

Crikey, Full Minty is on the charge again, is he? They’ll be singing in the Cottenham commentary box if he can keep that going until April. Well done him.

Cheers
