Cleeve Racing | cleeveracing.com Introduction Hello and welcome to our annual Flat Season 10 to Follow guide. We have tried to stay away from the obvious like Too Darn Hot, Enable, Ten Sovereigns and Stradivarius as they are pretty obvious anyway and likely to be overbet when they run due to their popularity with the punters. There are some horses that must improve but have shown they have the potential to do so. There are lively outsiders for the 1000 and 2000 Guineas, a contender for the Cup races and several Royal Ascot hopefuls. There are also a couple that we don’t expect to see until later in the year, so hopefully, the list will continue to bear fruit all season long. Obviously, you need to make sure each horse is racing under its optimal conditions before deciding whether to or not to have a bet, but these lists are more about a bit of fun and interest rather than serious betting tools. But why not set up a tracker in ATR or Geegeez or Sporting Life and add all 10, it will be an interesting process for you to follow their development through the season, and it will add a different dimension to your punting knowledge and who knows, you might just make a few quid.
