Thanks Gray, Yes I'm sure I will need some help closer to the time. I have read some of the instructions on the forum so I'll give that a go, and then send you some questions when I can't work it out! I do have one question now to begin with....I have seen it mentioned in a few forums...what is TOM? Thanks, Paul |

Thanks for the welcome Paul, Ah, so that is TOM! I have already created an account, picked my silks etc...just have to fill my stable with some horses. I have been putting in a lot of hours trying to get some that will hopefully be competitive. I think I am heading in the right direction, so far for the most part I have been improving on my previous year's yardsticks. I realise though I am still going to be a long way behind where all you experienced trainers are. Still, I am optimistic and looking forward to the experience. Thanks to everyone so far for all your help and support. I know there will be more questions to come as we get closer to 24th May. Cheers, Paul |

There are a lot of opportunities for lower rated horses. You may have to write off the first 2 weeks but from week 3 when there are a lot of handicaps your horses should be more competitive if you place them well. |

Yes, it's going to be a big learning curve to begin with that's for sure. Understanding where my horses' abilities rank and what are the best races to enter them in etc. I'm sure I'll make many rookie mistakes but that is all part of the understanding. And I am sure like everyone who has been in my position about to embark on their first season, I have high hopes and expectations that far exceed the realistic capabilities of my horses! |

I am going to aim to compete in the league for the first time. I will probably need some help along the way but the aim is to see where some of my horses are and learn a lot by it. |

Good Luck Jammag and Paul. One bit of advice I'd give as last season was my first. Don't get greedy early and enter horses in group races if they don't win or place early. I went chasing group wins early and all my horses got higher handicaps and were stuck in between too high handicaps to win those races and only mid pack in group races. Some weeks are just bad, and you think why do I bother, then the next week you will get a couple wins or places and it will be worth it. Last bit would be to download the race scheldule from TOM and see the types of races. I had a good 3 yr old who loved 1.1m (1800) but there were no/few races that suited. Also I had a 2 yr old who was good over a mile plus, won early and couldn't race again due to no races for 4 weeks. Otherswise have fun and like everyone has said just ask questions. Everyone is very helpful. |

Just prepare to be soundly beaten for the first few weeks, and I mean soundly........then anything else is a bonus. Week one maidens are basically group 1 races, and avoid group races period in the early weeks until you have no other options. So 110+ flat and 140+ NH. Your first win could be a donkey derby and you will still enjoy it. Too many new joiners give up after the first few weeks, and miss the handicaps where they may have been competitive, they also never find out which of their horses are league horses and thus which breeding line to develop and which to abandon. Most of us have been doing this for years now and all us mostly got soundly beaten in our first season, I certainly did. End of the day its just time and luck with a sprinkle of experience. Anyone can do what we have done. Josh |

It's going to be my first season too, so it's good to have someone to compete with at the rear of the field! There is lots of advice on here from the experienced trainers, so be a sponge and absorb as much as you can! Look forward to sharing some stories about our progress. Paul |
