   System for the Totesport Ten To Follow : 2009 Flat   
   20 Apr 2009: - Unfortunately, the competition's rules have been changed for 2009, reverting to an early, pre-Guineas start.  The Flat version of our TTF system is designed for a later, pre-Oaks/Derby start, as prevailed in 2001, 02, 03 and 08.  It cannot be adapted to suit an early start without losing its edge.  So we will not, therefore, be posting anything here for 2009, not even a blank template as we were able to do last time for 2008.  We will be back here in late October for the 2009-10 Jumps TTF.  Hope to see you all then.

  Update 3.6.09:  This year, the Flat competition's organisers went back to a pre-Guineas start - which no serious player could possibly have wanted.  They also reduced the list of horses from 500 down to 250, making it harder, not easier, for any player to be able to expect to succeed.  And they made it dearer to enter by post (£12 per line) than by internet (£10 per line), thus alienating the traditional power base of postal entrants.

No real surprise then that people deserted in their droves.  The prize money for 2009 dropped by a massive £24,000.  That is devastating as it means only £66K to the winner - the lowest first prize since the competition first established itself.  £66K is barely a third of the 2003 first prize of £180K - which was the last time the Flat competition enjoyed both a late start and a cost of only £5 a line.  Those were the days!

Update 7.6.09:  Our Capital Ratings had Sea The Stars best-rated for the Derby with nothing else in the race anywhere in sight.  If only things always worked out like they should!  View latest figures.
