Doug's commentary was and still are epic. Have watched this race on numerous occasions

Thank you Leon.

That must have been from the first season of SO6? - Would be great if some of those trainers made a comeback.

I haven't won a huge amount of big races but there are a few for me.

Most notable are the 2 Ascot Gold Cup winners, Kings Of Albion who was pre 2010 but I can't find anything on the forum search and Johnny Corleone who won the Gold Cup too, that was a classic and there was a lot of hype leading up to the race and Ryan's call was excellent but I can't find it unfortunately. I think it was early 2011 and either SO4 or SO5. I had a 2yo Apple A Day that won the Criterium International G1 too in the following season during late 2011.

I also had a Hennessy winner over the jumps called Little Milan (late 2011 or 2012) that I can't find anything on, think it went on to be 4th at Cheltenham but can't remember which race.

Of the modern era that can be traced back. I had a woeful season without a single winner in the NHC during season 2 on TOM but Knost came 3rd in the JLT Handicap Chase at Cheltenham which I remember as the fondest memory from that season.

Season 4 on TOM (2016?) was much better, same season as mentioned above, I had my first G1 winner over the sticks in the Henry VIII Stakes with Simeone and on the flat my best ever horse in SO6 was Death Rattle who won 4 races including a Northumberland Plate and the QIPCO Long Distance Cup.

I can't pinpoint anything in particular but there has been great memories on here over the past 13-14 years, seen as the forum changed in 2008 it was likely that my first league was back in 2006/7 on SO2 or 3 and I remember my first ever winner, Admirable Nelson over 7f, a Donate and Draft horse from Dave Fuller.

I hope there are plenty of people still around and lurking on the forum without showing their faces, there's not many left, Davy and Vinny were certainly around back then, maybe Kev and Mwesty too, think PJ was on Yuku for a bit too. But there's plenty to remember from the very beginnings, Colm, Padraig, Dave Fuller, Jay Burke, The Duke and of course Laurelracing (RIP) to the Rich Coates era and the likes of Scatters, Thunderspark, Steve (PNE), everyone's favourites Scotty and New Approach, Liam Durkin, Keithbeaky, Hurricane Run (Ryan) and many, many others. Great memories and it's great to see everything continuing as strong as ever and certainly much stronger than it has been at times. It's great to be back and good to see the likes of Craig and Mwesty back with me as well as the influx of new players!

I will definitely add to this. Have some fond memories from past leagues. My dual with David Hooley to name a few. I sure one season i won the NH championship on the final week by 1 or 2 wins. It was so close all season.

Will look through the past posts on here to some of my favorites and other trainers as well. My memory isn't has great nowadays.

I know i had some horses with huge weights and they went on to win Nationals and at the festivals. Shame we lost all the old archive races and results from years gone by.

Nick are you keen for a Zoom chat once i get some good numbers together?

I looked in for months before I joined the forum in 2011 I had a season that was a learning curve I won the Fixed Brush Hurdle at Haydock which was my first winner I believe Rich was running the league back then I remember a few oldies who's come back over years The Duke and scatters a couple of seasons back has duke came back again he went away. and Hemz and Mike westy actually I think me and Mike played a couple of Times on the PS3 Game Gallop Racer riding against each other.

in the Second Season I started Race Running and Keithbeaky and Kevcon help me a lot in how to race run a bit different in those days Thunderspark came back a season or so ago and did really well pity that Jupiterjimmy is no longer around always had good NH Horses when I first joined and Sad not to see some trainers Like Darren Howells and James Follis in this Season/

If I have to pick a high Moment I wont pick a Jump race although Winning The Gold Cup is the Highlight but no Race Video I have gone for a race I really loved on the Flat has I am a Hunt Trainer to win any Group 1 on a Flat is a highlidht but to beat John's 2yo with Clare Grogan is my best Flat Race.

Yes i remember Clare grogan great race

My highlights are winning my very first race in the league , it was one of my fav races in real life RSA Chase with a gamebred called kostar .

Coigach winning 3 Gold Cups and Ghostzapper winning the triple crown.

Finally beating Paul to the DCC, twice to his credit the effort likely cost me real time a few years......
Winning the NH title three time’s in a row.

Very little chance of the DCC being repeated this year unless I find 5 absolute flat monsters in the next 4 weeks. Think I will be in the mix for the NH.

Leon

Wow!!!! I have never seen a finish like that. Plus your horse came from nowhere . Incredible !!!!

AMAZING race the way they all lined up over the line

I was trying to find that race and mention it as my memorable moment. As you say the finish and the comms was something special.

brilliant would be better if all the close 11 horse was dead heat

OMG...TOM would have had a meltdown!!!!
