  We refine McMullen's construction of sequences of knots in $S^3$ obeying the
Chebotarev law by invoking the notion of rational Fried surgeries, and improve
the argument for the planetary links. Furthermore, we point out that the set of
modular knots around any torus knot in $S^3$ together with the missing torus
knot also obey the Chebotarev law, and deduce an equidistribution theorem for
the classical Rademacher symbol.
