Ten To Follow is back! £250,000 Tote competition to launch on Wednesday

The Tote Ten To Follow, the popular competition which ran for more than two decades, is to return this jumps season with guaranteed prize-money of £250,000.

It is the first initiative of the UK Tote Group since the company took full ownership of the Tote last month and will run through the central period of the season from Saturday, November 30 to the Sandown finale on April 25. Entries can be made from Wednesday, November 20.

UK Tote Group managing director Mark Kemp said: “We have been delighted by the positive response from racing fans to the return of Tote Ten To Follow in a new modern format. With £250,000 of guaranteed monthly and season-long prizes to play for, we hope the new Tote Ten To Follow will be as popular as before.

“We are excited to be working with the Racing Post whose extensive reach and depth of coverage will ensure racing fans have all the information they need to pick their stables over the next few weeks.”

The Racing Post will support the competition and publish advice from our leading tipsters on the horses to pick and the strategy to employ as well as the full list of more than 500 horses and regular updates and leaderboards.

Racing Post tipsters Tom Segal and Paul Kealy will give their assessment of the merits of the leading contenders in a forum with jockeys Lizzie Kelly and Nico de Boinville that will be streamed live on Racing Post’s Facebook page and YouTube channel on November 18.

Welcoming the return of the Tote Ten To Follow, Racing Post editor Tom Kerr said: "I'm delighted that, working with the Tote, we've been able to resurrect the Ten To Follow, a competition that so many of our readers loved in its former guise.

"And with £250,000 in prizes to be won and fully modernised for the digital era, the new Tote Ten To Follow is set to be the best ever."

The competition will cost £5 per entry of a ten-horse stable, with customers being able to win £250,000 or more in prizes depending on the number of entries. There will also be a free-to-play version with a £10,000 prize to the winner. The game is open only to UK residents and entry is strictly online only.

The format of the competition will be based on horses accumulating points through the season for each race won but with more points for Graded and listed races and with additional points for 15 bonus races. Extra points will also be based on the payout of a £1 each-way bet with the Tote.

The player with the stable with most points at the end of the season will win the top prize of a minimum of £175,000. There will also be £10,000 prizes for the players with most points in each month from December to March.
