Honestly Rivers that's enough already don't you think, the league is just about to start and all are happy with the new leagues programs that rich has tabled on here, so you'r starting to sound like you have a vendetor against rich, I urge you to stop it please, what your doing is childish and stupid, you like the league the way it is join, if you don't like it the way it is, don't join, ok.

Im happy as long as the league gets up and running but I would prefer a stable size of 20 also but 15 is fine to start with I suppose.

Am I right in thinking we can upload and delete horses whenever and as many as we like, as long as we keep to the 15 horses?

If there was a set amount you can change then id prefer 20 but if there is no limit on changing your horses then 15 is probably ideal.

Nick I don't think my stable is as good as last season.

I have 1 horse @5f, 1@6f and 1@7f are these good horses or average horses beating bad horses in my CK, there are not many 7f races so is it worth uploading this horses with the stable size starting at just 15!

8f,10f and 12f I have 3 or 4 at each distance that run well, are they all good or just average!

14f+ I never entered any last season as I only ever breed horses up to 12f, I have 1 that runs well at 16f but he could be a poor horses beating donkeys.

Once I have ran my UK trials and I have my first string, the second string will be used for the USRA, with the third string being used for the NH(first season for me).

I have been playing with the idea of running my first string in the USRA and second in the UK, with my first string running against some of the top trainers second string I may have a better chance of getting a winner.

It's not long to go now until a few bubbles are burst or that star is found.

Good luck everyone I hope you have a few winners but more importantly enjoy the league.

It's going to be hard to please everyone N3W_4PPROACH, I wouldn't want to be in richards shoes for all the money in the world to tell you the truth, why don't you give it a go the way he worked it out and see how it works for you, you just might like the way rich set it up you never know, but really guys come on now, don't you think you have flogged this way over board yet, let the games begin I mean if india can hold the commonwealth games after all the critisism they had, surely you guys can hold a league, you all have got to understand that rich is not going to be able to please everyone on here, but 80% pleased is good enough don't you think?

Tomas please read this.
I WILL SAY EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO SAY just like you and your 'Dad'.
The fact of the matter is this. There is still a lot of information that is not forthcoming end of.
I will repeat we are one week away from starting and we still do not have a full schedule for the UK or know how many horses can be uploaded to the US or NHC.
The childish and stupid comment I will choose to ignore, as your family hold the template for that my friend!
Rivers

Ok Rivers I'm not going to argue with you mate, about my father on here, but could you please remove that signature of your username it's really not necessary mate.

Please stick to talking about the league directly on this thread or your posts will be deleted.

I was talking about the league Super Cat.
But I do apologise if my comments have caused offence to anyone.

This has nothing to do with the league, and although you do have the right to air you opinions this goes too far. So please stick to the topic in the title.

Rich has stated that no spread sheet will be released but there will be a list on TOM when it opens (I think), despite that, if I have read correctly, I believe that there is no exact time and/or date for TOM to open. I hope this helps, if only your query, it doesn't really help you planning for the season until TOM opens, which could be a little late. But alas I'm sure the *new* league will get up and running soon enough.

Thanks Rivers, you are a gentleman bud.

shud be at midnight tonight!! noms open sat at 12am and close the next week at 12am

That 25/1 looks tasty...

Sorry I was away at a wedding this weekend. The other thread has the details.

Stable size is 15 to start in all 3 leagues and will be increased in the future (no unlimited retirements) depending on race sizes and experience. The reason that I have not said exactly what is going to happen is because this is a big change for the league and I'm not too egotistical to think this is the best way to do it and I don't want people whining if I say, this isn't working I'm going to try something else. I'm sorry if you like to know everything up front but if you jump in, play the game how it's supposed to be played and in the "spirit of fairness" I can guarantee that you will have fun and win some races.

How many retirements then rich? and per what?

We have alot of horses to just pick 15 from and if they turn out rubbish, you would wnt to be changing some pretty soon.
