Sorry Stu distance rule applies the horse falls foul of it.


Gray

Ok, but thought distance rules only apply in handicaps... no worries

It does mate your horse can run its a g1 distance rules only apply to HC's

Also Gray Thunderspark has a horse in national only 2 runs just a heads up

Nope I kinda think Gray has it right as it has not run over Hurdles either yet, but thanks for the spot Paul

It does not matter whether your horse has run over hurdles or not, as long as it has raced at least once it can run in a G1. I ran a G1 nov hurdle last week where 3 horses had never run over the smaller obstacles and all 3 were allowed to run. Only unraced horses are banned form G1 races.

Distance rules have only ever applied to handicap races to stop trainers from pulling a fast one

If a horse has not run over hurdles it can't run on a grade one hurdle. I had also scratched last season when I tried to do it. I have coded it in but have missed the novices. I will fix that as it was voted on last season

Can I have Miss Hunter entered in the Grand National please. She isn't showing up in my eligible list but ran over 4 miles at the start of the season and has run numerous times since.
