TRF Ten To Follow 2024/25

[Gingertipster]

Sorry Nathan.
Your boy did me a big favour today.
Whatever happens at Aintree, think I’ll get beaten in the final week.
State Man is going to be my downfall.

Value Is Everything

[Venture to Cognac]

Impaire Et Passe kicked things off today, before Gaelic Warrior won the bonus with Grey Dawning getting the consolation points

Lossiemouth the next big winner, giving loads of you a nice double

GT still leads, but EP going nicely, and it’s a great tussle this year, with plenty in contention behind

I’ll go over all Aintree scores next week, so bear with me if you spot any mistakes

The Bonus Race Leaderboard is on Page One, but I won’t be touching it until next week, as this a busy few days for me

Well done everyone today

Gaelic Warrior 53.75
Grey Dawning 12
Impaire Et Passe 28.25
Lossiemouth 52.25

[Venture to Cognac]

No change at the top, as all the leading pack have Jonbon

Jeff gets the bonus points from Protektorat, Alien had a nice lift from Salvator Mundi, and Graham, Illavim, Landafar, and Peter all scored with Caldwell Potter

Well done all of you, and a nod to Alien and Landafar who’ve really climbed the table the last few weeks, and both with very nice double today

Caldwell Potter 28.75
Jonbon 51.67
Protektorat 12
Salvator Mundi 29.5

[Venture to Cognac]

Just the one winner from National Day, and that was Nathan’s Bonuses Strong Leader and I Am Maximus

I Am Maximus 12
Strong Leader 12

[Venture to Cognac]

First winner for best part of a fortnight, and who else but TYT, with Jubilee Alpha. Great pick TYT

Jubilee Alpha 20.10

[Venture to Cognac]

Marlingford cut out a lot of the early running thanks to Found A Fifty, and good to see more points on the board today. Great pick mate

Found A Fifty 31

[Venture to Cognac]

Smashing doubles yesterday for Autumnal, GDC, and Roses, while HDLG also scored from Il Etait Temps.

Still tight as ever at the top, with majority of those in contention scoring from Gaelic Warrior

Gaelic Warrior 26.84
Il Etait Temps 30.7

[Venture to Cognac]

Guys, prize money down slightly this year, but still well worth winning, and will be as follows

1st – £300
2nd – £50
3rd – £20

Bonus Race – £100

At the rate GT is going, I think he’ll win all three pots

All scores have been checked

[Venture to Cognac]

Low scoring day with only Graham, Corm, and RTB scoring. Great pick guys

“At the rate GT is going, I think he’ll win all three pots”.
———————

In my opinion I am odds-on to lose at the post in both races.
Possibly even finishing unplaced.

As It Stands:
With less than 12 points between myself and Goodfellow in both lists… And EP in the main competition.
Both EP and Goodfellow have State Man in their lists, I don’t. All three of us have Constitution Hill. Therefore, if State Man is just second in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle then Goodfellow will beat me at the post in both – unless that is Teahupoo has won or been second for me in the Punchestown Stayers Hurdle. Goodfellow does not have Teahupoo but EP does! I was fairly hopeful of keeping State Man out of the first two until both the mares Lossiemouth and Brighterdaysahead came out. Now State Man is around 6/4 to win the Punchestown Champion Hurdle so it is highly likely he’ll be in the first two. So even if Teahupoo and Constitution Hill win then I’ll be beaten by EP if State Man finishes second… Unless that is – Brighterdaysahead were to win the Mares Hurdle – in which case State Man would have to win for me to be beaten by EP. Both myself and Goodfellow have Brighterdaysahead, EP does not…
EDIT: And that’s without looking at the possibility of anyone further back having big priced winners in the last few days.

Good Luck all.

Value Is Everything

[Nathan Hughes]

Nathan (who is less than 50 points behind) could ensure I leave with nothing

I’m up for this
Who do I need to cheer on, Ginger

Blackbeard to conquer the World

[Gingertipster]

Oops. Sorry Nathan.
I was sure you had State Man, apparently not.
It’s Mike 2084 who’s got State Man, although he’s not quite within 50 and does not have any other runners that aren’t in my 10. (His list is one up from yours in the alphabetical list on page 1 and one down in the list on this page, so I may have made the mistake somewhere there).

[Nathan Hughes]

Good luck to those in with a chance of winning still…

Well done EP, with State Man victorious and The Hill out of the first two, I believe you’ve won the main competition even if Brighterdaysahead wins for me tomorrow. With me second and Goodfellow 3rd.

…EP overtakes me in the Bonus Race too but I believe Buckers wins that competition by a nose.

Apologies if I am wrong.

Value Is Everything

[ep1987]

Looks like I did a Mullins and snagged it late barring a long priced winner tomorrow. Crazy thing is I considered subbing out State Man but thought with 3 likely bonus race runs it was better to leave him in and but for a fluky fall he’d have dotted up in all of them.

Thanks GT for the shout out and obviously a big thanks to VTC for running and everyone who contributed to the prize pool.
