If it was to be adopted, and Rich would need to say whether this is what he wants, you could in theory upload horses after week two and still be able compete in two maidens.

Yes been a great season thanks to everyone that helped out

I would like a strict rule where horses get 2 distances based on there maiden races. if its a mistake or an error then tough. You do need 2 distances as in case of Nunthorpe for example. I believe you need a good 6f horse to win this race and indeed a heavy or soft 5f race would equally be a good 6f horse to win this. Just my opinion but for SO5 we have the following restrictions.

5f~6f
6f~7f
7f~1m
1m~1m2f
1m2f~1m4f
1m4f ~1m6f
1m6f~2m
2m~2m4f (Done this as to be able to enter big staying races)

This would then be an exception, if you run in a 6f maiden your 2nd run must be either 7f or 5f to show what preference your horse wants. If you run 6f then 1m then 1mile would be taken as the distance and this horse would be a 7f~1m horse. Any mistakes in maidens is trainer fault and would not be altered.

2nd view l have is for awards and top horses, would love an extra week in both NH and flat which is called Champions week and are all Group 1 races, for example in the flat we would have 2 x 5f races (1 for male and 1 for female) all on good ground at newmarket max 16 runners and will be open to the top rated horses in league. This would be done for every distance to pitch the best against the best. I feel this is a great idea as a build up for the final week. Defo in the NH would love this as after Cheltenham feel these last 2 weeks are a bit of an afterthought and rather than move the festival have a championship week at cheltenham running similiar to flat, 2 x 2 mile races all on good ground at cheltenham and so on.

Thanks to everyone who has made the league what it is

Ive had my best season to date with Winners and afew placed

Have really enjoyed it and hope to build on this season

Thats the plan anyway

Again thanks to all
