Josh me and you in the same boat I cant tell you the amount of effort i put into this seasons team
TBH its like my debut season was expecting big things this term a bit of a culture shock especially
watching the races at Meydan my lot look barely competitive its early days and i NEVER give up
I can see myself becoming a handicap plotter this term if only i knew this before i sent an army
to Meydan

It's great to see other trainers rising though the ranks though and am looking forward to the rest
of the season even though expectations have been reduced massively

Whats hilarious though i just basically bred 1 lot of new NH horses at each distance and put 1% of
the time that went into the flat team and have started brightly,


FUNNY OLD GAME

Thems the breaks. I would guess maybe 50-70 seasons on flat, though click through only for better bars, then say another 15-20 trying to mix those into my main game. Still the best flat team I have assembled though.

2 breeding cycles on the NH, say 6-7 seasons, one of which was largely a write off as I foolishly tried to inject some flat bars to my jumps team which was a massive failure though may pay dividends longer term. I did hit upon one new line though which maybe ground breaking, largely by complete chance. I also think getting good jumpers is easier once you have the stock.

All that said it is good to see people break through as it demonstrates that you can climb the ladder quickly with the work and application. Will eventually get my breeding and team notes out on the forums.

Snap Josh I did the same last season by mixing my flat horses and my 2-2.4 chasers and my hurdlers and it was a disaster. My chasers kept falling and it wrecked my hurdlers. Luckily I could go back with my chasers but it would take more time than I have to fix my hurdlers and so i've given up on them, I only have 6 in my league team. I'm over the moon with how my league season has started, my jumpers are slowly falling behind the best but some how my flat horses can still mix it. It's strange because I don't have much time these days to breed but I seem to bred better with selective breeding. Well done to jango for his world cup win and it's good to see a lot of trainers catching up, should be a good competitive season.

What races are the double entry races this year if there is still double entry races.

Brilliant day on the flat with 4 winners. The 2yo Bronze Tree is looking good over 5f, two wins from two outings. Also nice runs by Devils Magic who won the Craven, hope he keeps it up for next weeks 2000 guineas and Ancient House who won the Stayers Maiden.

One winner over fences in a mares hurdle.

Well done to all the winners and placers. A big day for Steve ( Jango ) with 3 winners and a G3 winner for Vinny.

A nice 2nd (while I'm ready for a win) by The Stepsister in the 6f Listed 100,000 Tattersalls 3-Y-O Sprint, 2x 2nd in a Novice and a Maiden Hurdle, a 3rd from Moltovisione in the 3m G2 Charlie Hall Chase and finally a 3rd in the 3m G2 West Yorkshire Hurdle by Bene Opera were my best results. Not bad but I have enough 2nd and 3rds now!

Vinny Gerrard's G3 win over 7f seems to be the run of the day! Congrats!!

And a big thank you to the team! Great comments as always!

Very decent start to the week with 4 wins, one on the flat though my NH team continues to do the heavy lifting snatching 3. A number of other credible results also.

Another fine day for me with 4 more winners, 1 on the flat with a fine dead heat finish for welcome to the jungle and three on the NH. Time to Kill was especially good for her second win and underlines her gold cup aspirations.

Congrats to all winners and placers.

Very pleased with my NH team Paul, I sort of knew they were good, but the start has been outstanding. The flat looks Uber competitive, Jim looks to have made great strides with his team and I am super impressed with Jango who has a real chance at champion trainer on the flat. Great to see Thunder back involved who always brings quality along with John and Steve. Darren is a dark horse too, some seriously good looking horses and he flys under the radar a little.

Well i just watched all 8 races you have come second in so far and all but one was a whisker from coming first.
You could easily be leading the points but for your horses slightly shorter noses.

So i'm not buying it, i dont think any of the other trainers can relax just yet.

A dead heat win over 6f maiden from Powerful Beauty together with Josh's Welcome to the Jungle was my best flat result. Congrats Josh, was a nice race we both coming from behind.
After an injury in his maiden Theseus won the Irish Stud Novices Maiden Hurdle impressive with 3 1/4 lenghts.
The NH highlight was the United House Gold Cup G3 Chase with a win by Sympathy For The Devil, seems this horse is a real gem, looking forward to his next races.

Congrats all runners and thank you to the team!

I don't like blaming the size of the nose of my horses i do love to blame jockeys
some of mine have been given shockers this season but we all get that.

Im finding it hard to get jockeys to ride my horses its like they are scared or something and
I have only arranged the assassination of 3 of them so far

Great to be back, forgot how much fun watching the races was. Put a fair bit of effort into these horses this time, albeit, starting from scratch only over a 2 month period before the season started and I can't say I'm totally disappointed, Bozhou Bonus Melior ran a blinder top pick up the Nell Gwyn. Lanzhou Labelum also running a great race to be beaten a short nose in the Greenham. Also had quite a few horses leading or there abouts with under a furlong to go, only to finish way back. Think I need to work on the pace of my trials as clearly a lot of my horses aren't staying the same distances in the league as my trials. Time to get some proper pace in my trials I think

Funnily enough last timer I entered the league, my horses were always flying late to get close or never getting in the race, looks like I've overcompensated. Hopefully something I can sort before the upload window opens again. Definitely for the next season.

Great work from all comms as usual, love how much effort is put in from behind the scenes from everyone, cheers Gents

Vinny

Great comeback mate more winner to come too
