Well that’s the league now open so feel free to get a stable in. I’ve said this every
year, it doesn’t matter a hoot to me whether your stable is a paid one or a free one,
as far as the TRF league is concered both paid and free Stables will bw treated the
same with regard to any prize money (Obviously in relation to the Tote’s paid competion
they receive the big prizesif they win) I wouldn’t worry too much about that. obviously
we are up against these big hitters with squillions of entries from big conglomerstes.Entry Code is 000179. The league name is theracingforum.
Talking about TRF prize money , Mr John Gooch, who won the TRF flat Competition, and has
very much been my partner with the prize mone, has decided to donate all his £50 winnings
to this year’s Jumps Competition. This means we have
£100
to Divy up. Obviously we will need 20 or more Stables to ensure a runners up prize,
I don’t think that will be any problem with the popular jumps competition. I’ll discuss
with John to see what we think would be that fairest breakdown.I’ll no doubt add more as the stables are entered, but at this moment I’ll add the rules
and stuff from the Tote’s site. Members of TRF only when joining, C’mon, get those stables
rolling in. I wish you all the very best, be lucky
The competition opens for entries at 10am on Wednesday 23rd October 2024.
All stables must be registered by 11am on Friday 15th November 2024.
Selections within stables may be changed freely until the deadline.
Ten to Follow points scoring starts at 11.01am on Friday 15th November 2024 and finishes
at 11.59pm on Saturday 5th April 2025. Competition starts on Paddy Power Gold Cup Day at
Cheltenham and ends on Grand National day at Aintree.
There is a seven-day transfer window at the start of March ahead of the Cheltenham Festival,
where all stables are allowed to make up to two substitutions.How does Ten to Follow work?
Racing Post and Tote compile a list of over 500 horses, from which players will pick a
stable of ten horses to follow for each stable they enter.
Points are awarded to horses for winning and placing in their races throughout the season.
The better the grade of race, the more points on offer.
There will be 21 “Bonus” races across the season, including the Grand National on the closing
day of the season.
Each paid entry costs £5 (or €5.50 if playing in Ireland).
The paid entry prize pool is determined by the total entries with the winner scooping 60% of the
prize pool with prizes down to 10th place, plus five monthly prizes. This year’s edition will have
a guaranteed min total prize pool of £/€100,000 with prizes paid for first 10 places.
A 10% commission is taken by the Tote to cover costs of running the game, with the remaining net pool
redistributed in prizes. There is a free to play competition (maximum one entry per person) where the
season’s winner will receive £250 of Tote credit.Bonus races and Scoring
Regular Points:
Grade 1 win – 25 points,
Grade 2 – 20 points,
Grade 3 (Premier Handicap) – 15 points,
Listed – 12 points,
Any other race – 10 points.
Points will also be awarded from returns of a £1 each-way bet on the Tote in each race a horse runs in. Example: £1 win at 5.50 + £1 place at 1.20 = 6.70 points awarded.
For races run in UK and Ireland, the returns will be based on the standard Tote dividend.

See you 11.00am on Friday 15th November Mike👍😂lol… good luck.
Having said that Graham I think I will also be late to the party with my actual selections but I’ll chuck in a random one to help make up the numbers.
I think I might do a paid stable this year taking on the syndicates with my lone fiver..😅🤣😂 I’m struggling to find Dark Horses so I guess they will be the usual suspects hopefully with a couple of dark onesJohn..So generous if you to put up your prize money for this seasons competition, all good wishes with your Jumps Stable
I’ll pop mine in tonight Graham got to go and give the Dark Angels a prep talk..see you all there. Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I’m in with a random selection for now
Good luck everyone and thanks to Graham for running the League. JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Good Morning to every one – I hope that you are well.
The news is that this will be the last ever Tote Ten To Follow Competition.
I am not really surprised by this news as the number of entries has been falling for some
time, particularly on the Flat.I have put my entry Numpty Plays Jumping Fantasy (Free List) into the TRF mini league.
Just 3 entries at the moment but still three weeks to go.Many Thanks
Not just that John, it’s turned into a pain in the neck with some sections.
I’ve been trying to get my free entry in for about an hour now. I pick them all out,
from the whirling wheel of horses that’s nearly impossible to stop anywhere and the
search brings up the name of a horse but you can’t get it to go anywhere. This should
be so easy instead it’s a bit of a minefield
I’ll get it done though, and thanks for the information. Once more unto the breach
Good to see you both back Mike and Jac. There’s plenty of time so it’s not a bad idea
to chuck in a random one Jac, and twist them about a bit later. Best of luckI found the best way to do my Free Stable was to just let the Tote Select a Smart pick at the side of the list of horses and then select either ‘Buy’ or ‘Free Stable’.
My problem was that I messed up my Silks when I added my free stable which were Mauve and black and are now black and white but that’s minor.
I think as it’s the final competition I’ll push the boat out and buy a second stable and change my Silks back if I can..Sorry to hear it’s the last Ten To Follow John and I will miss the flat version next year as Jumps fans will still have Bobby’s (VTC’s) compy.
I guess all good things come to an end so let’s see it out with a bang and try to get into the top 100.
JacGot my Dark Silks back buying my 2nd stable
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Just as well you didn’t cut it short Jac and just said “Got my Dark Silks back”
Could conjure up a different bottom line
Very welcome Landafar. If this is the last year let’s go out
with a blast. We might not be able to compete with the huge
conglomerates, but I’d give it even money that at least one
of us gets into the top 100. Maybe even catch one of the monthly
prizes. Who knows
Lol Graham 😅🤣😂
Shame it’s the last time I’ll be needing them. 🫠Let’s hope we can all get the League in tbe top 10 this season.
Having said that where did we finish in the flat racing TTF league? Anyone know?
Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...White Custard has joined the party
Thanks BigG …Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
“The news is that this will be the last ever Tote Ten To Follow Competition.”
Was this an announcement from Tote? If Tote don’t want to do it, perhaps another bookie will take over the competition in the future.
