Crappy day one winner not even worth writing up.

Re the MS disqual, ran that race and if you watch it again he cuts into one of Sirius’s horses forcing him to take a pull in he last few furlong. May not have changed the result but I guess that’s what the racekit saw. There is also a slight veer inside on johns horse.

Congrats to Paul Fisk and Daniel French on picking up winners on the flat.

I am very happy. My first ever winner on a chase. Navigable River held firm and won over 4m3f. So sweet.

I also had some good performances on the flat. Some near wins.

Commentary and race running is excellent, and it was a lot of exciting races yesterday. Very impressed by Kings Rock Boy. He ran a strong race. Well done, Jim!

Daniel

Flat Nothing in first two days looks like I will be heading for Handicaps this season.

Jumps Two winners Today Oaks Day Bred for the Oaks but wins the Mack at Cheltenham and Deputy Dan getting off the Mark at Fontwell looks like I will improve on last seasons Jumps total.

Gray

It's been a pretty poor first 2 days for me in both codes, no wins and just a few minor placings although a 5th in the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup was a highlight.
I had some fancied handicap runners who ran really badly today for some reason but at least they should be well handicapped now (or at least I hope they are).
Will be happy to sneak one winner tonight in a low grade handicap.

Flat

One winner today. Kings Rock Boy made all the running to win the Dante. I did think about sending hm to the Preakness but Kings Rock was bred and trialled on grass, so thought Dante was a better option rather than the dirt at the Preakness.

I have always just played UK based games but maybe for next season I might start a US based game where there are more dirt based tracks.


Jumps

One winner over sticks today. Garden Vale Girl won the 2m 2f Listed Hurdle at Punchestown. I thought the distance might be too short for her as her best distance is 2m 4f. That 3 wins and a 2nd place for her so far this season. Off too the Ascot Hurdle for her next week to see how she does in Group company.

A few more 2nd placers again today. If there was a NH championship for 2nd placers I would be leading it. Don't get me wrong, I have had a very successfull season so far, I just think like many other trainers, "If Only this or that had happened".



Well done to all the first time winners, Paul, Daniel and Daniel.
Thanks to all those who make this league such a success.

Finally! Something to actually write about on here regarding the days racing. Ludlow must be where my horses are able to perform with a decent 4th from beyond belief who finished in a blanket of finishers in the handicap chase and then my first winner of the season in Kindom Come in the starters orders hurdles qualifier, who despite a poor jump at the last just got up to win by a length. Many thanks to all the team.

I went into the flat week with high hopes of doing well and I did rather well. A lot of placings and I finally got off the schneid with a win in the prestigious SiriusChill 0-60 handicap. Nice call, Mike. A good place for one to get their first win of the year. As I said above I had that Middleton Stakes too. Oh well. Paul's horse won "cheekily". He was just toying with me.

My jumpers continue to perform well with more nice placings. I put zero effort into my jumps stable. I'm amazed each week to see how well they are doing.

Congrats to the firster winners who won at my expense by just beating my horses. I gave you 140 ratings btw for tormenting me.

Thanks Paul

Finally in my fourth season in the Hunt I at long last get my first winner!
Great to get that weight off my shoulders! I've had a few horses finishing not far away this season so far so hopefully I can pick off another winner sometime soon.

Well done to Steve Rann for his top two in the Preakness.

Well done Adam

Congrats Doug. It is well deserved that you got your winner.

Last day of week 4 was poor for me. My biggest expectation ever to maybe compete in a Group race failed miserably. Back to earth I think
The horse need heavy ground, and that was a lesson learned.

The league work splendid this season. Thanks to all involved and well done all winners and placers.
