Thanks to Doug for great commentary. No worries Must have been a great thrill for you. Your horse was very brave and stuck to it task. Soon as you win one....you will win another

Re: Weekly Reaction
That’s the rub, and why I have decided to stop, I no longer enjoy it. I never really enjoyed breeding and trialling but I don’t really even enjoy the races any longer such is the randomness of it all. I plan to finish out the season, store my exports who will more than fill another 2 or 3 teams and go do something else until SO7.

Re: Weekly Reaction
Just 1 winner on day 2
Senor Stu Off the mark at last and always knew there was a big one in him its off to the breeders cup next for him. I have had 30 horses represent me on the flat this season 29 of them have won races im really poud of that the clean sweep would be nice but running out of time for Anglo Saxon to bag one.
congrats to the winners and placers thanks to the team great comms on the nation lads great stuff congrats Doug on your big winner over the sticks congrats Leon for your Grand National victory a fine horse please give him the chance to run again next season

Re: Weekly Reaction
Happy chappy here picking up two winners. Miss Burning Ash in a 0-100 off a low weight....I was quite confident over the distance and on turf. BUT my biggest ever result is my Deep Miss winning a Grade 2 Hcp over the chase. I was quietly confident about her chances as she had run multiple 4ths in G2 and G3 races and with a smallish field of 10 and an honest rating I thought she was in it up to her ears. For the last lap I think I flinched at every jump and when she cleared the second last I thought she had the race for sure and then she walked through the last fence I thought it was going to be another hard luck story but she dug very deep up the hill over the last furlong to win by a head, defying the challengers. No customers in my shop so I was able to go off and urge and cheer her home Congrats to Leon winning the GN - well deserved and kudos to last years winner who ran a very honest race. Also a great call by Stu as well.

Quote: congrats Doug on your big winner over the sticks Thanks Paul. I am very happy It's taken me four Hunt seasons to finally get a winner and not only that - a G2hcp winner! What a break out season on the Hunt for me. Only problem is she was a cast off and she didn't go to the flat barn or transferred to another game - only saved in the ck. Is there anyway to extract her from there and put her back into a jumps game breeding barn?

A big step should be possible to next season after this years breakthrough to the Group level. Congrats to all winners and players especially Doug and Leon with his Grand National win!! Was surprised both my horses rached the line but only in 22nd and 25th...
