I've got some free time so thought id enter about 10 now for the whole season. Have the rules changed about group and listed races?

Gray said 3 runs and he is incharge of the handicapping
welcome back
good luck with you horses i'm sure they will be very tough to beat
i would lump on you for champ trainer but betting market has closed
expecting you to mop up in Dubai

Three runs for handicapping?

Have the rules been updated?

I cant have runners in Dubai, at least the G1's, as none of my horses have ran yet.

As for champion trainer 80% of my horses were bred last year, so i doubt it.

Some are Australian bred, is that allowed?

sorry i 4got about the g1 rule
here is what Gray said





let things go Matt Please

As far as I'm aware (and unless it causes problems in TOM) then you can debut horses in Listed/G3/G2 races if you need to but you will be given an inflated rating for doing so, so would be advisable not to run handicappers in these races but I guess you won't have handicappers.

At present you can in NH but not on the flat (g2/g3). It will require me to temporarily change the race codes for the flat. or move the g2/g3 to the same code as listed races which unraced horses can enter( Sorry i got mixed up which one of the flat and NH allowed this)

If there is enough support I can do it for week 2 and 3

Once again the rules need to be clearly stated and stickied on the forum. Or we could end up with a situation like we did halfway through last season where someone abuses the rules and goodwill of the league. In other posts Leon has said there are no changes to flat rules except stayers can run over any distance over 2m if competing in a 2m+ maiden. That is confusing and misleading for new trainers and for those that dont read every single thread?

I have no intention of running Rapid Headway once then heading straight for Australia. I will be able to run him four or five times before winning in Melbourne.

I missed the smiley off the Australia comment, just trying to make a joke.

Good luck in the Guineas. I know you've worked hard to win one of those.

Obviously im biased as otherwise i wont be able to run half of my horses, but thats my fault for throwing the toys and missing week1. I wasn't aware of any rule changes but can wait for listed races if need be.

not a great start for my milers so expectations have dwindled a little bit
but really pleased with my 2yo's
all ran well

glad the aussie comment was a joke Matt i know in life things can eat away at you & certainly miss justices can
glad you are moving on
good luck for the rest of the season i sincerely mean that time we all moved on
