Two big disappointments where 2 of my horses were leading and then stumbling on the last fence. I just want to kill the jockeys.


That's jumps racing Thunder. It hurts when that happens.

1 winner for me this week and some decent performances from my other runners as well

4. Keep Faith (3rd) - The drop in trip seemed to suit and he went down by less than a length. A slow jump at the last probably cost him 2nd place. Good run.
6. Gold Trader (3rd) - I have to admit, I'm struggling to find the right trip for her. She's best over 3m1f at home and this trip (3m2f) is the limit of her stamina. However, she ran here as if she could do with an extra furlong running on well in the closing stages after being outpaced early in the straight.
10. Golden Gun (4th) - Another solid effort. Beaten less than a length although he was always being held by the first 3.
12. Hurricane Joe (8th) - After such a good run in week 1, this was an absolute shocker. Well beaten and looked in trouble a long way from home.
14. Ignition (1st) - Has been training well over hurdles recently, so I knew he was in good heart but this was still a big surprise. Not sure where he will run next as the win has well and truly banjaxed his handicap mark. A switch to the smaller obstacles might be the way to go.
15. Over The Top (2nd) - Ran another good race just about holding on for 2nd. No chance with the winner from Thunderspark's stable.
19. Marksman (3rd) - Huge run to finish 3rd from such an unpromising position. He was virtually tailed off at halfway before making rapid progress early in the straight only to fade out of contention in the final furlong.
23. Hazel Nut (3rd) - Ran well for a long way but doesn't stay 2m3f. She was legless in the last furlong.

Well done all winners and placers.

Race 19 - horse rating are all screwed up. If the rating stays, my horse will have a huge advantage in week 3 which is running in G3 handicap at a rating of 100


Rich can you take a look at this please, i noticed that Fixit's horse had won the race by a head, but the result showed Scatters horse had won.

Ratings are messed in race 19. Not sure if this is the only race which has messed up. Will check. Also looking at race 19, there is no comment on how the race panned out, it's just blank with no writing underneath the horses. Very Strange

Conor did get in touch initially but I haven't heard from him since.

I'm happy to take a look at stupid ratings whilst I search for a decent replacement.

I will look at Race 19, seems to be a glitch. As for Race 10 I will look into it, the result of the race is the important one, the visual representation should match this but sometimes it doesn't. That can mean what appears to be the winner, isn't actually the case.

Hmmm, it won't save it.

The horse files are accurate so the horses won't run at their TOM mark. I think when they've had another run it will overwrite it.

Bit of a bummer, nevermind. It's showing them up now as 0, not 100.

Thanks for the concern. :)
This is at least the 3rd time in 3 seasons so I`m getting used to it now. Mark reckons it`s the graphics at fault. At least it was only a maiden this time.

Will go through my stable as soon as I get a chance, even entering my horses a little haphazard this week.

Not given up on Cosmic Blaster ran much better this week, just made way too many mistakes early, ran on so well jockey got scared and took a pull lmao.

Thanks to everyone who makes this happen!
Missing Ryans coms. :(
Roll on Thursday. :)
