The Woodcote Stakes is a 6f Listed Race for 2yo run at Epsom, not a 5f G3 as listed in the schedule.

Temple Stakes is a G2 for 3yo+ and the Duke of York is a 3yo+ race, not just 3yo as listed in the excel file - I figured we all wanted the league schedule to somewhat mirror real life?

Henry II Stakes is for 3yo+ in real life, so figured with some stables perhaps entering older horses for this distance, it would give them more entry options than just 3yo's only?

As I have already stated I have no issues with changing to how it reads on the spreadsheet, I just felt it would seem weird running these races without the correct parameters.

Rich read page 3 please half way down duke posts, that some of the week 5 races are wrong age and distance in the schedule as to what they are for real in racing.

What are we following the schedule 100% as Steve has remarked that schedule is done for balance of races, think these races are the only ones that are not exactly as they should be to real life.

Oh in that case I did know what you were talking about.

Hmmm, I will think about it. We've always had these races in the schedule and missed out other races at other racetracks that satisfy the conditions in the schedule, it might be nice to visit other parts of the country. Any thoughts?

If you want to keep the real life conditions of the two year old race, you will need to add a 2yo 5f group 3 race for that week.

The change to three year old only status for the other two races was so that there would be a build up to the age clashes after Royal Ascot.

Just my take on it.

Yep, I like that as well.

But is there a real life 5f G3 race for 2 years old we can drop in instead of the Woodcote for instance?

That would be the best option.

I don't know of any off hand maybe someone could do some research and throw one into the mix.

A listed race would do (better if group 3) but it must be 5f.

what about the National Stakes at sandown thats a 5f listed for 2yo's

That sounds perfect. It could be added to the Sandown meeting for that week.

Changing the other two races mentioned to 3+ instead of 3YO would be okay.

Wouldn't change the schedule that much except for the anticipation of late season age clashes.

Good idea David, lets switch it to that. I prefer Sandown to Epsom anyway.

Let's leave the other races as 3yo+, I do like the build up of younger horse vs older horse but rematches are just as fun. I already have the winner of the Henry II stakes in my stable

Just been looking at some of the names for maiden races and i think some could do with a change think we should change

w2 r3 Sunny Donny Maiden but its at Lingfield
w2 r6 Welcome Tony B Maiden - tony is my bro but he never plays the game anymore so may as well change it

Agreed.

Any ideas Steve can change them now i can also change The Woodcote Stakes to National Stakes now too

David,

Yes if Rich is happy that's great.

Leave maiden names up to you.

Steve

Sounds good any changes can you put them here please....maiden race name changes etc, so i can update the schedule i have in front of me then ill give it one final sweep for errors on TOM, cheers.

So week 5

race 9 and 10 will stay as 3yo+ races,
race 14 is now the......national stakes 2yo listed 5f.
race 34 will stay as 3yo+ race.

Correct? this is what TOM is showing.
