Dave is putting the wheels in motion on the rollover, I've hopefully given him the right info for the switch!

Good stuff rich.

When will we be able to tweak the NH schedule?

Needs updating from last season, taking out the HR Series until Ryan comes back.

Oh I best get back to breeding, haven't done any in months!!!

Same here Keith, il have some donkeys returning a year older. I've done playing the game now, just don't have the time or the effort to put in.

Think i may have a few which will be competitive in the NH league.

I might look at having some NH horses this season as irl im very passionate about it.

For my trials im going to trial at Cheltenham, Sandown and could Hemz or anyone suggest some other tracks. Going to trial on good and soft ground and then maybe on heavy for those who like a bit of cut.

How's that sound?

Aintree and Punchestown.

Always good to trail them there.

Usually the first 5/6 weeks we will see a lot of soft/heavy ground then later in the season it tends to be good good/soft. But saying that you never know what TOM is going to do.

We had perfect ground throughout last season the the NH.

Cheers Hemz. Im pretty sure they will be handicappers at best. I dont even run a NH game as I find it so much harder than the flat version, im going to trial all my 1m4-2m4 flat horses now. Maybe the 1m2 horses as well

I've put something up on the forum about having a flat game but wanting to trail them over NH and what prefered distances you should look out for.

EPW put the post up wanting to know. Will have a look see if i can find it out.

Don't just trial your 1m4f-2m4f horses, you'll miss most of them lol!! I had a top 6f Sprinter win a listed NH flat race, I find that 6f-1m horses make good 2m Hurdlers, 1m1f-1m3f Flat horses make good 2-2m4 Chasers and 2m4f + Hurdlers. Trial all your flat horses you'll find that something you think is rubbish on the flat maybe a good jumper I've had dodgy gamebreds who could barely win over the flat in the game win a league race over jumps but most of the time if it's class over flat, it's pretty special over the jumps.... If it can jump of course!! It's a case of trial and error, I find it easier to find my 2 or 3 best flat horses at each distance and then send the rest to trial over the jumps, doesn't get me superstars but that way will get you a win in the league, just make sure they have a bit of jumping experience within the game

Can I send a flat horse jumping, providing the horse is one year older? It happens irl obviously but not sure about in SO4?

Yeah of course, I'm planning that for a few of mine as well.

So im trialing my horses in groups and then marking the general times and taking the 3-5 most consistent horses out of each group. And then i plan to race them against each other. Should I pay much attention to times as Im currently beating this seasons Cheltenham times under the same conditions But im not that silly to think that these are a true comparison?

keith cant you do a few trials on jumps ,, maybe 5 races as i bet the new guys out there need to taste the fun of the league races plus us lol
del

I am currently trialing ALL my flat horses over hurdles and chases.

I don't understand what you were asking, Del?

to do a few open races before season starts like you did before last season started
