Hello all,

Happy New Year etc etc....

YIKES, the trials are all ready to go ???? When are they being run ???? My no-mark little Spanish stable is suffering from empty box's ..... let alone trial horses....

Keith
just an idea
if not much interest in trials
maybe we could enter 2 horses in each race ?
Del

Like the idea of that delboy trotter

How's things btw?

A week or two i think, so get your stable together!!

im good mate
will catch up with you on msn soon

So far I've received horses from Del and Leon, though you are two horses short Leon??

And as Rich is away I might hold off till he is back to see if he wants to enter some horses, and others who have not been online for a bit. That would put the trials at late next week.

Didn't see the schedule on first site of this post, think I will maybe enter some horses. Can you add your email in your first post?
Do I have to reset my horses too like for league races, I think so!?
Will take a look in the evening which horses I send over, but think they will only fill the ranks.

Keith,
Can you pick a track for the 1m5f, 1m7f, and 2m2f flat races so I can throw together a quick team for the trials. Thanks mate, and thanks for putting this on!

sorry to winge but wouldnt it be better to run at a track that has no draw bias ? you could enter a horse get drawn wide and learn absolutly nothing about it or how it shapes up to the rest of youre string or am i missing the point is it just a bit of fun

Leicester for the other 3 races.

Brighton is "tight" and horses will probably need speed early but Im not sure the draw plays such a big part for most of the races. You should still learn enough if drawn wide, as although the course is shaped a bit like a horse shoe it only has two real bends. Trouble in running is likely to be the bigger problem.

My entries. I will email them soon.

I'm not sure if I'll have any NH entries.

The trials are starting to shape up but still only have 6 trainers to have sent horses. Im going to update the entries this weekend and although I dont want to rush people it would be good to get quite a few more trainers horses in over the weekend and then run the trials next week/weekend.

With Thunders and Scatters both having lost a lot of their horses the flat crown is up for grabs and Craig "claiming" he wont be a threat this year the jumps could be interesting too. Also missing Duke it seems?

I should be competitive Matt, but not like last season.

Some of my horses will be returning a year older, but not as good.

Am playing the odd season here and there. So il defo be a threat, just saying my stable will not have the same depth as it did last season.

I will speak with the Duke see if he fancies entering some of his donkeys
