TH Ten To Follow Competition 2022 / 2023
The TTF competition this season runs from Friday November 11th 2022 to Saturday April 30th 2023 inclusive.
We are indebted to Maruco (£100 to overall winner, £50 to runner up and a perpetual trophy). We are still in need of a sponsor for the Dark Horse Competition. The rules and conditions for the Ten To Follow competition are as follows:
Each forum member may select TWO TEAMS.
For each team select NINE horses from the list of 250 horses below and add ONE Dark Horse i.e one horse of your own choice which is not on the list, TEN IN TOTAL. In the event a team is submitted which contains more than nine list horses, only the first nine horses will count. If any of the first nine horses contain a horse not in the list of 200 horses, that horse will be omitted.
Teams must be submitted in alphabetical order with the Dark Horse as Horse Number 10.The Dark Horse ONLY must be followed by the name of its trainer.In any one team no more than three horses, including the Dark Horse, shall be from the same stable. Any team subsequently found to have breached that rule once the competition starts will be disqualified. Note teams not in alphabetical order will not be accepted.
Entries which have been "thanked" or “liked” indicate the entry has been accepted.
Closing date and time for entries is the start of the first race at Cheltenham which is 13.10 PM on Friday November 11th 2022. In the event the Forum is down or you prefer to keep your dark horse(s) to yourself until after entries close, entries can be PM’d or emailed to kirstin.boutflower@gmail.com
If there are any disputes during the TTF competition, my decision, after consulting with the relevant sponsors, will be final.
*** Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the list of 250 horses includes horses who will be running at some point during this season, this cannot be absolutely guaranteed. ***
Good luck everyone.
