Been working hard on the national hunt side as i cant see improving my flat horses from flat breeding these 3 mile hurdlers and chasers were bought into a flat game and ran in Oaks & Derby trials safe to say pretty stunned by these results my league team were well beaten. The horse i bought in during the window Treaty Of Melbourne did not even score 1 point in any of the trials - thats next seasons Oaks & Derby runners sorted then |

Season Review poems by William Barnes Flat Did not hit the heights that i hoped for but had some great moments during the season Treaty Of Versailles a dual Oaks winner was star of the season for me. 4th in the championship was not so bad after a very slow start had a really great final week with 4 or 5 G1s Also breeding and training the Epsom Derby winner has been a long term target and am very proud to have achieved this. National Hunt Fantastic season finishing 2nd in the table with 58 winners and many great moments Aintree will live long in the memory with 8 or 9 winners during the Aintree Festival. had a few stable stars Me Andre had 6 winners this season Attorney General 5 & Chestnut surprise 5 too biggest achievement was only 5 of my 35 national hunt horses failed to win a race this season and 30 won races. Congratulations to Josh who lead from the front early and to think I went level at one point in week 11 but he blazed away again to win by 13 great effort mate. But TBH m amazed how my NH team did this season My League Career Season - Flat Wins - NH Wins - Total Wins S1 - 27 - 41 - 68 S2 - 28 - 26 - 54 S3 - 25 - 52 - 77 S4 - 20 - 35 - 55 S5 - 42 - 60 - 102 S6 - 72 - 51 - 123 S7 - 54 - 48 - 102 S8 - 35 - 58 - 93 Tot - 301 - 369 - 670 I'd like to thank everyone involved hope to see everyone back for one more time |

Found a fantastic new bloodline of front running style horses they go off very quick and show alot of bravery This is Sea King trialed exceptionally well in Derby trials loves the front they come to tackle him late on but he sees him off. His grandsire is a new gamebred |

Nice looking horse, it's interesting that the longer the game has gone along then the more front horses do best even on the flat. I've not even bred any horses yet for next year , just chilling and hopefully i'll get 1 breeding season into them. |

No doubt more experienced trainers have been in my position before but i am completely baffled by my horses performance. The reason why i think it is "luck" is because i threw everything at this final SO6 season (because i am not sure i can rally again for the next SO7 season). Almost all my horses have Max bars. But as we know hidden bars are just as important and maybe more so. So i spent 2 months solid in trials looking for traits like running up front, going early, having that final push just before the post. I added bucket loads of Distance Adaptability as i found this really seemed to help if the horse is forced wide and has further to run. I trialed at every track in the schedule for the particular distance, with and without pacemakers. Ran against all my best performing horses from the season before and thrashed them. Compared race times from last season from the races i ran so it was on the same PC, and the new horses posted faster times. The horse below didnt make the final list due to poor performance (hidden stats) but its typical of my stable bars. So about luck, or more the point bad luck. Staying on same pace (even though all my horses have 100% consistency). Bar barrier draws Getting boxed in Running wide on all the turns I honestly dont think i can present better horses than i have this season. The amount of time i have put in would make Paul look like a casual player! My results in week one were not unexpected to be honest. So to me it is all about luck now. |

Jango i'd disgree about luck because there's lots of other things we can't control. Ground- Course -Running Style - Pace of the Race all make up around 10 percent no one can control and with the horses around 100 percent any horse can run from 1st to 7th in any race. U - Paul- Josh - Jim and DT who has improved massively this season are all ultra competitive and want to be right up the top and so it will always be tough at the top. |

Oh i do agree that its tough at the top, for sure. Things we cant control like "not quicken", "getting boxed in" and "barrier draws" to me by definition is bad luck. Dont get me wrong, i'm not complaining or whining, hey i'm still 3rd ranked at the moment. What i am talking about is as you say, the factors we cannot control. Hence my hope for a repeat of my week 1 results where it seems i had good luck! |

I think maiden races are strange beasts in WK1, I had a horse who won and then ran 6 times and was unplaced in all the races. The closer all our horses get the more random they become, my trials were the worst they have ever been for this season. No horse dominated in any of them and most struggled ( even my horses in league) to be consistant. Take my horse McCraken won well in week 1 but has been poor since and yet Tele was poor up to this week and yet won the Preakness nicely. |

But it tasted so sweet!!!!!! Smart race nominations is all i have left, although i do have a couple of beasts lined up for the window. |
