Many thanks for running this Tam I'm already drooling looking at some of the names written here Entries and Rules
Tam have you got a list of top selected horses and perhaps rank them in that order for us to see who we as a forum think are 'hot' for the season. It should be a good little competition!
Nass, do you mean break down everyone's selections in order of the most popular horse, then 2nd most chosen, and so on? If you mean "Do I have a list to choose from," then no, I don't. Presumably you can look at the Tote Ten To Follow list- if and when it comes out. I picked mine either by memory or looking at the Cheltenham, Aintree and other big races from last year (via Racing Post).
Did you mean like this?

Nass, just looking at the selections, the most popular up to now are (no.of times selected in brackets): Long Run (10) Zarkandar (9) Peddler's Cross (8) Captain Chris (8) Sprinter Sacre (5) Spirit Son (5) Time For Rupert (4 Big Bucks, Oscar's Well, Master Minded, Al Ferof (3) Sorry, Nass, didn't see Reebok's list. Thanks, Reebok )
Picking up on your suggestion about sending out personal spreadsheets Tam - they would have to then be updated by the recipient presumably, which kind of takes it out of your hands, no? I would have expected that you would periodically publish up-to-date lists - although I have to say, that's a lot of horses to keep tabs on mate!
Reebok, no, that's not the idea. I shall publish up-to date totals each month. Although there's a fair amount of work involved, it's not that much of a chore. My offer to send members the Excel sheet was simply if they wanted to tot up their own profit/loss, no more no less.

Tam, any chance I can make a change? I've literally only just reralised that Dunguib is expected to miss the whole of the 2011/12 season with a leg injury. Can I please replace him with Weapon's Amnesty?
