A productive morning!
The winner will receive this VERY beautiful "Talking Horses Ten to Follow Competition in memory of Col and Diamond Geezer"
Please can those who have offered to sponsor, PM me with their offer! (I've forgotten!)
The TTF competition this season runs from Saturday November 1st 2025 until the end of the Punchestown festival (inclusive).
The rules and conditions for the Ten To Follow competition are as follows:
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 fayemoyes@btconnect.com
If there are any disputes during the TTF competition, our 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.
Points are awarded for National Hunt races in the UK and Ireland only and scoring is as follows, UK prize money in £ or Irish prize money in € as published in the RP.
10 additional points will be awarded to the winner of any race at the Cheltenham Festival, the Irish Champion Hurdle, the Irish Gold Cup plus the Aintree Grand National.
A further 15 points will be awarded to the winner of the Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase, Ryanair Chase,Stayers Hurdle, Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Aintree Grand National. (i.e 75 points in total, 50+10+15)
Ten points will also be awarded to any horse finishing second at the Cheltenham Festival and five points to any horse finishing third.
BONUS POINTS
Bonus points according to the official Tote Win Dividend in £ or € as printed in the RP for both Britain and Ireland, will also be awarded as follows. If no Tote Win Dividend is declared, the SP will determine any bonus points. Should neither a Tote Win Dividend nor a SP be returned, bonus points will not apply.
Dark Horses will score DOUBLE bonus points.
- I have managed to compile a new list and hopefully I have made it fresher with some random horses thrown in here and there!
- I may well have omitted some horses which should be there (in which case, if you spot them - grab yourself a decent dark horse!)
- There may also be spelling mistakes so apologies!!
- If anyone know any horses that are either no longer with us, retired or already out for the season, please let me know asap.
- Please note I have brought the closing date earlier that last year so you've got a little less than two weeks to peruse the form book and make those all important selections.
