just looking at the lincoln 81-95 rated 4yo+ race currently has only 5 possible runners only 1 has a rating over a mile 2 at 7f 2 at 1m1f who can run not much of a showcase can you open it up a bit ??

Surprised the Lincoln is only a 81-95 handicap, if it mimicked real life (0-110) it may open things up a little and gain more entries.

Yeah they will need to be without a handicapper, think it'll have to change on an 'as and when' basis.

If you open up the Lincoln to 0-110 then the group horses who just won the maidens would what we call well handicapped you forget in real life horses who run in the lincoln are horses who been around a few years and you wouldn't get horses who are what we call group class running in it.

We hope to try and make this league close to reality as possible but sometimes we cant if we could i am sure the online BHA are ready to hand life bans to the unsavoury trainers we have amongst us so :P

Thing is though horses would have to be absolute machines to be winning handicaps off top weight with marks in excess of 100. Very few managed to do it on the flat last season, and top weights on the whole struggled throughout the whole year. So I don't think it presents as much of a problem than it is thought.

Please enter your horse. The handicapping is now a work in progress and things will be worked out after this weeks races. Im sorry that you ran your horse again but it was the same for everyone, at the time. Unfortunately I feel one or two will be too well handicapped here but then your horse could be running off a nice weight come Royal Ascot!

Another one that needs looking into...

Race #34 - Jim Toner Memorial Handicap (81-95)
None of the horses entered are above 81. All 11 horses entered so far are 74-77.

Why did you run the horse twice over 7f when you were aiming it at the Lincoln? Think the race is over 1m?
