i will literally trial a 3m2f chase race and one horse will win and then come last next time. so hard to know which to choose, mine are all donkeys

Lol I have the same dilemma, i'm thinking my horses are going to be useless as they have been the past 3 seasons!! Although I did just trial all my stayers against johnny corleone who is in the 2m3f race at wolverhampton and he is destroying some good stayers by 6+ lengths, I have a real ascot gold cup hope I think!!! Nearest I've ever come to a G1 was second in it in my first season!

All the schedules are now up to date bar the Lincoln Handicap which I'm currently debating where to place.

Conor, will be in touch.

things arent looking too great for the USRA at the moment, real lack of trainers signed up to that one (currently)

is there are minimum number of trainers required to have a stable in this league, because unless numbers rise dramatically would it not be better to make a combined 'monster' flat league

Shhhh! If it stays like that I might have a slim chance of winning a race!! Remember a lot of new starters have joined the ukra and might just want to get a feel of it, but i do recommend if some of them read this to upload to the us even if they've never ran on dirt just trial them quickly in the us before you upload!! Also there are still a few established trainers yet to upload as well!!!

I think most people aren't total geeks with their stables already lined up I'm looking at you Ryan and Scatters.

Most ppl arent geeks says the internet forum moderator.....lol

You watching Valencia vs 10 Defenders tonight Rich, should be really entertaining stuff.

Valencia will find the key and take 3 or 4 off the anti football brigade

Need to sort my stable out, I've played 1 season in the last two weeks and I won't have time to squeeze 1 in before the weekend, I've got 1 or 2 good handicappers.

Was watching the Utd game, not much better.

10 defenders is better than 11 though...they did alright tonight but god, scottish football as a whole is in dire straights at the moment.

i hate the glazers!! we need to get them out and get back to being manchester united. if i were a pool fan i would be very nervous about new owners also being american, the track record is poor

anyway before i cry over how some yanks are ruining a club fergie has built, i will get back to starters orders!!

yes im a geek who filled stables early, but im not a geek in the sense that they are trialled in a half arse manner from a game played in a half-arsed way. the quality of the 45 horses i uploaded is very very uncertain, and whether half of them will be there on sat night is also uncertain!!

Rich, any news on the betting front?

And will we have betting on this weeks races or not until next week?

Im not sure if there was betting on the first week in previous seasons as this is my first. Havent been playing the game at all since the uploads opened cos im pretty happy with whats there. Im firing out the second string in the first week to see how they get on and then will put my good ones out in the turf maidens in week 2. And if they cant do anything i will get back to playing the game.

Looking forward to it starting m8, well done for getting it up and running again after the claims that the job was too big.

I have put myself forward to being a bookmaker for the season but have recieved no email as of yet, i wanted to start off with some pre season specials to get us going. But nothing yet, waiting on rich.

Sorry bud I haven't seen that, would be great to have you as a bookmaker, email me again on soplpresident@gmail.com and I'll sort it

good stuff conor theres loads of cool specials that could be done throughout the season, i look forward to losing a lot of money to you pal!!

Hello All,

I have just been informed that a new season is starting so thought I would show me face. I wish you all good luck in the new season. It is nice to hear the league is still strong.

The new President Rich Coates will definitely grow the league and under the new detection Mark has built there should be no FUTURE problems with the league. One of the most important things in the league is BANTER between trainers because without that you may aswell just play the game itself.

Keep the banter going, see you potentially next season.

Good luck all. Much love xx

Jay
