Re: Weekly Reaction
Debut week for me and I have learned a lot. My horses are unsurprisingly no world beaters, but some light in the tunnel with a 6. 7. and 9. place finish on the flat.
Plym Argyle did reasonably well and went up in handicap rating, thats is a positive, and Liam Brady sat the pace for most of the race before fading. So they are not completely hopeless, and it will be exciting to see if there is possibilities in the lower handicaps.
I am also breeding and trialling as hell to manage to get som more horses together for the week 5 uploads.
Thank you all for the great reception, and great work by the team and great comms.

Re: Weekly Reaction
Day 3 produced nothing of note for me more 5th & 6th places then I deserve imo. Although I really do hope there is some better AI come S07 with jockeys and their runs, some of those muppets would be lucky to wipe the boots of Nicholson, let alone get a ride jajaja... quick mention "Libranno" rated 150 now, is that the top rated hunt horse ??? as I will take pleasure in that and not the fact it went up 24lbs Well done to all as per usual and a good week for the lesser trainers all round.

Re: Weekly Reaction
Seems I did too much work on the flat and not enough on the jumps, three more flat winners, Two Bites, Grinding and Second Reflection. Nada on the jumps and a few who were very disappointing. If they come back to form with the ground maybe an interesting season.

Re: Weekly Reaction
Gray can we have a look at the long distance chases for next season, I don't think we have enough . U got to get in 3 runs to be allowed in the national but it's almost impossible to do that if u win a maiden, my winner struggles is rated 150 so he has really no races to go for and I don't think I can run him in 3 races before the national now that the long distance races are for 0-140 h'caps. If I want a runner in the national I might have to bring one of last season's horses back.

I'll have a look John there is a 4m 3f This week and then you got the Paul Moores at Cheltenham I know your horses is rated 150 but if he runs in the National he will be top weight anyway Gray

Re: Weekly Reaction
Maybe just not have a 3 race restriction for horses that have won a race for the national. Only have the restrictions in place for horses who have not won a race. A horses rated 150 is not trying to get one over the handicapper that's for sure

Re: Weekly Reaction
It's ok sometimes the camera Angle at the finish is not on the line or the text File the race kit produces which gives the way the horses ran etc is not quite the same. Well Done on your first winner Paul. Gray

Well done Paul Sometimes that also happens in my single player game as well - must be some little bug in the system. Doug.

Re: Weekly Reaction
3 winner over both codes for me, and a lot that had credible finishes in the money. Breed the Beast was the star with a G3 win on the flat. Tobeor Nottobe, was to be today with a handicap win. And kiss my tail, returning from last year opens her account in another handicap. Pumpkin notable second to Twin Turbo in a G2, where that brown envelope when I need it
