5. New This Season also is Min and Max Ratings in Group Races Later in the season also some Group Races and Handicaps now have max 2 runners for trainers this is Helpful for weeks like Royal Ascot and will help the big and small trainer run more horses that week.

sorry to be a pain but as i wasnt here last season does this mean i upload horses hoping they get a run in Dubai? or do i not download my 4yos as I'd rather put in more 2/3 yo to run in the maidens

Should this read - After week 1 no unraced horses will be allowed in Group 1 races - ????

Also I think we should keep the flat stables to 20 or at least 20 new horses and an extra 5 slots for any trainer/s who return a horse/s from last season.

Maybe a bit late to debate it now but I am just putting my thoughts forward.

Otherwise good work Gray

I thought the point of g1 week 1 was to make the maidens less ferocious for new trainers by giving the top tier something else to fight for. So yes either the rules need to relax the entry restrictions or these are for returning horses only. I worry about the later as we have no idea how many are coming back, could be small fields.

I also thought the logic of the extra five was for this (returns) or gamebreeds? I am a big fan of the extra five if it is not restricted, 20 was never enough to cover age and distance permutations.

Hopefully this will work.

I have altered Group 1 after week 1 sorry I copied the old post and forgot to alter it we will extend to 25 we have extended the amount of flat races which is mostly 38 due to adding new races from the Aussie Carnivals also to counter small fields which we get a lot of most trainers don't even have 20 in their stable so if we have more races but only the same amount of horses the fields will be even smaller this is just a one off to see what happens and get ready for SO7.

We might get more new trainers we might lose some although I have not put it in the rules I was thinking along the lines New Trainers cant enter Group 1 and 2 in week 1 and Jalupen being a returning trainer I am sure after top 16 then last season trainers returning trainers will take preference over New Trainers I doubt we will get 16 hopefully the new trainers will go straight to the Maidens.


Gray

All good

Hi Gray,

First of all hello to everyone, it's been a while since I've been on here. Hope everyone is well. Martin - Very sorry to hear your loss, hope you're ok as you can be buddy.

I should know this but are full brothers and sisters allowed in a horse's lineage? I don't even breed full brothers and sisters any more to avoid confusion but I've probably got some from way back down the family tree.

Only completed 3 seasons since the last league as my newborn twins are taking up most of my time. However, I couldn't miss out so will have some low handicappers

Hi Mr Follis always good to see you around mate no brothers and sisters in league team I don't think it is for Lineage not sure but have never heard or come across any problems.


Gray

All looking good Gray....
