Day one: Pleased with a 3rd in the Kings Stand, but still 2l behind anything of Vinny's, probably should of gone for the Queen Mary, but then Josh would of just beaten me. Hoping they both miss nominations one week...... :lol:

The rest I was disappointed, really thought I would of got a handicap win somewhere, but a few nasty draws as well as not good enough, were the main reasons (as well as Nick Driver and his Black types :wink:) but they will all fall in the weights, so watch out next week, handicapper trainers!

No point in talking about the hunt.

Day two: Stole a couple of flat 0-70's with horses that just got in and did well off top weights, I knew Broadway Grey would go well looking at the field, but surprised Choumaker made all to win from the front and just hold on from Paul P.'s.

Still no point talking about the NH, bar my 4yo's who look like, dependent on ground will give a good show of themselves at the Festival.

Good stuff from all as usual.......

I'm glad u not won a lot this week :lol: , I need u to keep u horses ready for AW champs. Who cares about the king when u can become king of the AW :lol:

Got to admit for the first time since i lost everything that I've missed Royal Ascot , watching all the races made me want to bred again. If there were to be another league season before 8 then I might have to dust down my US flat game. :D

Well done all the winners and to everyone who makes it happen.

BTW why do I keep hearing birds or something in the commentaries . Does someone own a bird shop or something :lol:

Very happy with the Gold Cup, thought i'd taken it, didn't like the quick result, but settled once saw the end results. Feels like all my horses are running on Day 3

Mad how most of my horses don't like Ascot. I trialled everything there up until a recent change, but that was after this season started. My sprinters an milers don't mind it, anything above seems to hate it.

Sluggish Violence off the mark is good in the 3yo sprint division, as he was a definite mistake uploading. Pretty poor day tho, an not sure day 3 will be any better Expecting |Josh to be ahead after this week

Can mine run in Josh’s colours more often. Wrong silks uploaded put in Josh’s colours and of course won as they usually do in them silks. 5 winners over both codes although none at Ascot. Although if you had given me 5 winners at start of week would have snapped your hand off!

My fault that, the racekit goes strange if you add and remove horses, and I keep two of mine in the kit at all times to clear my frame rate issue. I selected one by mistake, removed it and added yours, and it adopted my colours for some reason. Can be arranged again for a small fee :)

Great few weeks for my stable, and great to win the 2m1 G1s this week at Leopardstown
Also got my first wins on the flat this season, only 0-80 races, but I'll take them, not easy to get flat wins these days

Thanks to everyone running the league

A huge thankyou to Alex and Martin who put in a monumental effort to get the races out to us on time after all the TOM issues.

Brilliant effort by all involved with the running of the league to get todays races done and with no lack of quality .I hope you guys know how much we all appreciate what you all do and the this whole league and the few hours of entertainment we get from it is down to the hard work and time you all put in ,so a huge well done and thanks from me .

On the racing front a reasonable week with a few winners a few seconds and an infuriating second place in the juvenile grade 1 hurdle with the horse whose name i cant pronounce(game generated) . Had it won everywhere bar the last 10 yards lol so much so it went from Marting saying how its going to be a short price for the triumph hurdle to not even winning .....this game !!!!

Nothings free ran a great race in the Irish derby just collaring Vinnys horse to then get jumped on by Joshs .....if 1 of those lads dotn beat you the other will lol

They continue to set the benchmark so well done but stop please !!!

Sorry about the Juvenile! My filly does get a bit back in her races, thought she'd left that one a bit too late to be honest.

See you at Cheltenham!!

How dare you, Martin. Not getting excited for my horse winning race 40 odd with only 4 runners and being around 1am for yourself (huge joke). Great work for getting it done.

No worries.

I expect a horse next season to be called A Colt Named Katie or something similar !

A pretty good week for me across both formats with a handful of winners in each.

Highlight on the flat was True Colours showing her true colours and getting up to win her third group race of the campaign. She is really looking to stamp her authority on the 3yo 1m6f category - although I'm sure Josh and Elrond will have a say in that.

Over the jumps the standout performance was the last gasp win in the G1 Juvenile as mentioned in an earlier post. Hopefully she hasn't peaked too early for Cheltenham.

How did everyone else go this week? Successes? Disappointments?

I'm sorry to report a 'Nicky Henderson' type virus within the Gerrard camp. The Vets say they can't find anything, an everything has scoped clean, but clearly every single horse in my stable being collared on the line paints a very different picture, an shows the experts know nothing!!

I want to move on from this week as quickly as possible :)

Well done to everyone in getting it all out, can't have been easy
