Hi All,

Over the next few days I will be updating and eventually completing the flat schedule.

This is a first draft, a few tweaks are needed and quite a few races still need naming.

Take a look and let me know what your impression of the fixture list is.

Any problems let me know.

I have made a few changes to the age range so that older horses and three year olds are mainly separated at the start of the season.

After Ascot week the two ages mix, I think this keeps interest alive as the best three year olds come up against the best older horses, for the first time.

Anyone wanting to sponsor a race/series of races let me which ones and I will see what I can do.

I will need the week and race number/s

All weeks are available to view.

Note:
There are only 24 races in the first two weeks, which provides flexibility for div 2 races to be added if numbers are too large.
This rises to 30-35 races from week three onwards.

Note:
The races saying "Slot Available" will be filled once I have looked at the whole schedule - some race types may need a top up.

Previously requested race sponsorship will be added today.

Steve

Week 5 Race 5

One For The Ladys

5f Listed race at Curragh for Fillies/Mares only £75000???

I already have a race series so if anyone else wants this slot no problem Steve

Will need to look at the overall schedule to fill in available slots - it may be that one particular part of the schedule is a bit light. Will probably be some sort of handicap I would imagine.

Temple Stakes is in that week for 5f 3YO classy types.
Week four has group race for 5f 4+.

Name looks good so should be able to fit that in somewhere Mike.

Looks good Steve will have a proper look later, just to add on the handicap series, you gave me one race you can do a 8 series if u like, can you make it for the 80-100 handicaps please. Thanks mate!


How long will it take Rich to add all this to TOM? Looks like a big job!

Will have look at series Adam - don't think it will be for 80-110 as most of these are already named. Might be 70-100.

Big job for someone no doubt about that.

There is a possibility of uploading a spreadsheet directly into TOM...

I have not tried it before

Some horses clearly have a preference for dirt surfaces. Apart from the maidens and a few races in week 3 there is nothing else until the last week, which are all group races in Dubai. A small sprinkling of Dirt races through the season here and there would be nice. Would this be a problem?

The problem is I have to fit in the well recognised races. Doesn't leave much scope for dirt races, barring some low class handicaps.

If you have any suggestions .........

Oh wait, i see there are races at Kempton and Lingfield in week4, but they are down as turf races, but these courses only have all-weather tracks in the game.

Yeah sure, a few low grade hcaps woulnt go amiss i suppose.

I wouldnt mind a few dirt track races each week as most of my horses prefer the dirt. I had a full stable in the USA league last year and Scatters horses would like the dirt too

Steve, great effort on your part!! But can you please send me the spreadsheet to my email address as it will be easier to sort and make comments etc. Well done!

John

Will do when I have it completed in full. Probably tomorrow John.
