Another win in a Hunter Chase so I am quite chuffed about it.
Because the English chase programme is almost foreign to me besides the GN, I feel quite good winning hunter chases and 0-120 or 0-130 hcps. Hurdles don't really interest me at all and I only enter them to see my horses get a run. All I can hope for next season is a generous amount of hunter chase races and low handicap chase races for the whole season and I will be happy.

5 for me as well, 2 on the flat and 3 on the jumps.

Your gradually reeling me in paul. NH title is going down to the wire.

Wow. Won the first race in the Hunt, a grade 2, with Clockwork. Can not believe it. The horse has not done anything whole season and now delivers. Its always hope. I am very pleased with that win.

I think you have also had a little more scope in the weights due to your slow start. I hardly have a horse rated less than 150 but for the last 3 or 4 weeks you have been catching. All to play for.

Anyho one winner for me today on the flat, with zoom zoom zoom.

Almost as good as Coigach winning 3 gold cups is Princess Lady Jane win a G2 in her 3 season, after a few brutal trips early this season it was nice to see her get the rail. The Nunthorpe was a great sprint and it goes to show how tight the flat is.

Well I got the shoe-in as I thought winning a little 0-100 hurdle handicap with "Musty Mutt" its 3rd win of the season (quite un-heard for this trainer) there is even talk of making a bronze statue outside the Stable in recognition of the horse after winning 3 times in a season

Now what to do with it next week... Hurdle or chase ?? The Martin Pipe could be the one or a big step up to the JLT

Well done all who take part...

Will post the Charity Chelts competition shortly.... so keep eye out for the post and dont forget to enter

Yet surprisingly you have had 21 more runs than me in the NHC

well great 2 days picking up 4 winners 2 group 1s and 2 group 2

grand gesture won the eclipse even though hes shown nothing like that level of form all season he got hammered in a maiden a listed and a grp3

wonderful roses won the Nunthorpe though cant beat two steps in my ck

Lafayette my 2yo sprinter won the lowther even though he hasn't looked like winning a race all season

its a funny old game the ones I think will win are getting turned over and my day outers are winning cks a wonderful thing

congrats all runners

ps sorry pj most of my winners came at your expense diving late on the line arc next week mate get your revenge

I was late getting to handicapping day 2 and then when I got around to it the server for TOM which is the same as here was down. It finally came up not long ago so I started handicapping and the site is going on and off. The ratings are going to be a day late this week folks.

Ratings for days 1 and 2 are done. Day 3 will be done later tonight.

Great work SiriusChill mate much appreciated


I Drew a blank on day 3


Thanks to everyone involved in the league for you hard work

Brilliant 3rd day of the week picking up 4 wins 2 handicaps on the flat although one was a fortunate ride with Martins horse giving up the goat on the line. On the hunt two, with Doug's Plastic Paradise picking up another G2 hurdle (1 last season) although I'm still looking for a G1 after all these years but not greedy, 9 wins in past two weeks, has been better than I could of ever hoped for. 2 more needed to equal last years haul of 16 in total, 20 would be nice.

My usual plan of never having full stables at week 1 and my desire to play the game for the 5 weeks up to the window has worked again, I managed to bring in 10+ new horses to the hunt and 7-8 to the flat and they are usually 25% better than the horses at week 1, so after 2 wins in the first 5 weeks, getting 12 after the break is a pleasing feat.

Cheltenham next week and I doubt I will achieve the 4 wins I got last season, but you never know, still a few on handy marks. Tho a 22lb rise for winning a 0-100 hurdle seems very harsh in anyone's books (Gray)

Well done to everyone as per usual.

Don't forget the Cheltenham tipping comp - viewtopic.php?f=16&t=17306

Barney Curly of starters Orders 6 your horse won easily was well handicapped but like Barney you like to moan you are Lucky Fast Boy went up 26lb for his win.
