TRF Ten To Follow 2016/17

[Venture to Cognac]

That time of year again, and thought I’d get the ball rolling to give those who’re interested, plenty of notice.

Here’s a reminder of last years competition, won in very impressive style by Roosterbooster…….

TRF Ten To Follow 2015/16

I think it ran pretty well last year, so didn’t see the need to change too much this time around. I’ve removed the 100 point ceiling for individual wins, and I’ve also removed the JNWine Chase & Charlie Hall from the list of bonus races.

To help me out a bit, can I ask you all to please remember to include your star horse, and also, if you could do your lists in Alphabetical order, and not do them in Capital letters, or in bold, then that would be much appreciated, it really does save me a lot of extra typing

Hopefully we’ll get a good turnout, and best of luck to you all.

Rules and Points of Info

2016/17 TRF Ten to Follow Rules

1. Pick 10 horses to follow throughout this jump season, during the period from Saturday 29th October 2016, to Saturday 29th April 2017.

2. Entries will be closed at 1200 on Saturday 29th October 2016.

3. Results will only count from Jump Races in Great Britain, and Ireland.

4. The Winner, and Runner Up, will receive a cash prize. This final amount has yet to be confirmed, but I’ll confirm before the competition starts.

5. In the Event of a dead heat, points will be divided.

6. No points for a walkover

7. Pick any 10 horses of your choice.

8. Winning points will be taken from RP Website.

9. In the event of a tie, the entry with most points from Bonus Races will be decided. If still tied, then highest scorer at Cheltenham will be the winner. If still undecided then those with most points from +£30k races will win……and so on. If a winner has still to be decided, then those with the biggest return for one race will get the prize, or those with the most 100 point scores, in the event of multiple 100 point winners.

10. Entrants can amend their lists before the 29th October Deadline, if a horse is injured**, lame, sold overseas, or if connections publicly state the horse will be staying over the flat.

**injured will refer to a physical injury, or of course a fatality. This will not include horses who are rested, or on the sidelines, due to being “under the weather”, “not pleasing during workouts”, “bad scopes” etc.

11. After the last race on Saturday 28th January 2017, a Transfer Window will run until 1200 on Saturday 11th February 2017. Entrants can change 2 horses over during this window, however, you will not be able to nominate a new star horse at this time.

Points
1.IN A RACE WORTH £30,000 OR MORE TO THE WINNER = 25 points
IN A RACE WORTH £25,000 UP TO £29,999 TO THE WINNER = 20
IN A RACE WORTH £15,000 UP TO £24,999 TO THE WINNER = 15
IN A RACE WORTH £10,000 UP TO £14,999 TO THE WINNER = 12
IN A RACE WORTH LESS THAN £10,000 TO THE WINNER = 10

I’ll take the prize money from The Racing Post website, which would save me from converting Euros to Pounds for Irish races.

2.Tote dividend points will be awarded according to the official totewin including a £1 unit stake – as follows:

Win dividend – straight conversion from £’s to points. For example for a £7.70 win dividend the horse is awarded 7.7 points, £14.80 is awarded 14.80 points etc.

3. There will be no limit the amount a horse can win on one single race (Rule Change)

4. Entrants can nominate a Star Horse, which will give them double points. In the event that a star horse is not nominated before the competition starts, then the first horse alphabetically, will be your star horse. You cannot nominate a new star horse after the transfer window.

5. An additional 25 points will be awarded to the winner and 12 points to the runner-up in each of the following races:

BETVICTOR GOLD CUP
BETFAIR CHASE
