I'd like to thank everyone for a great season ( the best), can it get any better I doubt it.

My aim going into this season was to get 20 winners on the flat and over jumps, due to having a stressful 6 months and not having my head in a good place and just not wanting to play the game I didn't expect much but my flat team that went well over 6 months without breeding a horse performed better than I ever could have hoped but it's good now I'm only a part time flat trainer and seeing everyone else battle it out.

My Flat Stars.

Lochsong won 6 out of 6, I thought she was good going in that's why I called her Lochsong but I didn't think she could do what she did.

My 2m4 horses were just outstanding, it's a pleasure having them. Probably the distance I've bred the most on the flat.

Za Approval, won 4 out of 5 but lost the big one the Derby. He won me my first breeders cup classic so he made up for it.

Glacial Storm is the first horse to win 2 group 1's over a 1m4 in a season for me, I didn't think he was that good so it was a pleasant surprise.

My Jumps Stars. The best bunch of horses I've ever had.

All my Hurdlers, the best I've ever had. 10 of the 11 won a group 1or2 race, even Liverpool showed up in the last week.

Rogers Princess needs a special mention because she only made my team because I didn't breed any 3 mile hurdlers between last season and this. She won 2 group1's and if I had a hall of fame she would be near the top because I didn't think a second season horse could do that. And she goes out on top as well, goodbye the queen.

Loving Around won 5 out of 6 and followed in her dads foot steps. She Loved a battle just like her dad.

My Princess Laura won me the big welsh race and became a favourite after hating her.

Present Abbey I thought was the best jumper I had ever bred going into the season and won 3 out of 3 but never had her ground to see how good she was, but she won me the race I've been after the 4m4 Paul Moores.


Next Season.

Because I'm not going after wins on the flat next year I can have some fun with my flat horses and bring a couple back for some fun.

Coigach is coming Back for the Ascot Gold.
Za Approval is trying to be the first horse to win the Dubai World Cup after winning the Classic.
Lochsong might comeback for 4yo campaign, the aim would be to win a race any race.
Donna Roseanna won a group 1 sprint and I might bring her back next season but I've seen her and if she does comeback she will be a 7 or 8 furlong horse. Will need to see how she does against my other horses but if good enough she will also be back.

My Jumpers.

Present Abbey will return as a 9yo but my horses drop off a cliff after 8 so hopefully she still got something left in the tank.

Loving Around might comeback if she still shows her form as a 6yo. There's plenty of races for her to run in so we will see.

I liked to thank all the other trainers for a great season it's been a blast and hope everyone comes back for next season.

The end of a truly epic season and as i mentioned on another thread i truly believe the league can go from strength to strength now.
