   |   Re: Weekly ReactionInteresting to see, Paul. And well done! I see your best horse has a rating of 126. Anyone knows what the highest rated horse in the league has had?

   |   Re: Weekly ReactionI believe John's 2m4f stayer from last season got 140 and won a grade 1 handicap off that mark in the final week.

It is difficult to give a horse in a league a 140 rating to get that rating the horse will need to be a Frankel wins well unbeaten and have a few runs not just 3 or 4  and of course win all the Main Group races at a the distance it competes in. It is hard to do and of course its up to the Handicapper now Coigach Runs over a Distance that is fairly light on Top Stables having Runners at 2m 4f Gold Cup Distance so it is easier for that type of horse to remain Unbeaten I think Paul and David Robertson are the other two main Players that have outstanding Stayers Johns Stayer Allegretto who won the Prix Du Cadran got a rating of 140 Two seasons ago has it won a G1H the Sydney Cup off top weight otherwise it would of stayed in the 130 Ratings so it got it by default although deserved So Coigach is unlikely to ever get a 140 rating unless it wins a G1H off Top weight  and I don't think we have ever had in the league a horse over 1m 4f or classic distances unbeaten hence no 140 Rated horse yet.

 Ceaser won his 3rd race since he was transferred in during the window

 best performer in the national hunt

   |   Re: Weekly ReactionVery Quiet day for me but bagged a winner over the sticks 
 Delighted to see Bacardys break his maiden tag it was his last chance to do so
 won the Prix Hardatit Listed H'cap Hurdle smartly he has been very disapointing
 but thrilled he got that win. 23 of my 30 national hunt squad have now won races
 2 have the chance tonight to break their maiden tags. this win was also sweet as
 it brought up my half century for the season. Both teams have achieved way more
 than expected.
 
 Congrats to the winners and placers
 
 last week we had Martin doing his deep south accent and this week Stu blessed us
 with his wonderful Scottish Accent it was hilarious but spot on would have loved to
 hear your South African accent. the team of commentators have been wonderful this
 season pray you will all be back next season.
 
 Would like to take this opportunity to thank the team for there hard work Leon Gray
 all the race runners handicappers and everyone involved you have made this the best
 season ever I can't remember a league running more smoothly than this one its a credit
 to all of you. Enjoy your break lads its more than deserved.
 
 Best of luck to everyone on the final night of the league
  I'm sure we will all miss it.

   |   Re: Weekly ReactionA win in Australia for me. Liam Brady, my first ever winner caps of my debut season with a win in the last week. Great finish as well. And my hunt team didn't do half bad as well.
 Agree with Paul, the team and comms do a wonderful job. Roll on last night.

   |   Re: Weekly ReactionDisappointing couple of days so far to end the season for me, was hoping to hit the 20 wins for the season but on the flat three 2nd's and two 3rd's has put paid to that, pretty sure I have nothing to look forward to tonight either. Maybe the "Prawn" , but off top weight will hurt its chances. On the hunt worse still, with a solitary 3rd although"Libranno" goes in the Paul Moores tonight so maybe a win, but not sure the "heavy" ground will aid its cause, but maybe some prize money, he deserves the win after the National, only being beaten by lightweights & dodgy 5yo's in that!
