The problem races this week were

Race 8 a 0-90 should be split

Race 21 ( im not getting into G1's )

Race 23

Race 28 0-110 ( which was split as the race was a farce of horses running through the trees and rerun )

Race 30 0-90 Southall maybe should be moved to another course like Newcastle but should be split

The courses above aren't designed for that level of entries. Maybe double entries should be removed from these races.

But from now on I think they should be split until the schedule can be balanced but that is for next season ( Not the group races that needs some sort of other decision ). It's a lot of extra work for me but better to have fairer races.

I have posted and mentioned to Mark about the horses not getting in on the bends. Maybe there will be a fix.

I'm not sure if we have more trainers this season or the same amount of trainers but with bigger/fuller stables.

Regardless, it is a good thing to be discussing this situation as maybe somewhere in the near future (if the league grows) that the 2 runner rule may not be applicable to Group 1 races or all Group races.

We can't change rules mid season so won't happen.

The classics were fine there weren't too many entries in them. The problems are elsewhere. The balance of people's stable have changed. Less sprinters and a more all round stable. And there are more older horses.

With small tweaks the schedule can take care of this next season. For this season all the oversubscribed handicaps can be split. It's only the G1's that have an issue. Especially over certain distances like 10f.

There are only 2 solutions for this season. I can manually add races to reduce the pressure on the races that will be over oversubscribed. Will need to be done before entries open. Or split the G1 with those that would have missed the cut going into a G2. Else they just won't run or add to a problem elsewhere. And I don't think its fair forcing non-ruuners on people.

For Stu I am thinking of everyone and just to restate handicaps are not an issue. If the field is too large they can just be split into 2 races. There is no problem having 2 0-90 handicaps for example. But you can't have 2 Sussex stakes

Should be a few other Australian G1 10f races that can be added or other 10f G1's from Japan and HK.

I'd like to see more Japanese races added to the Flat schedule. They have some great varied races over a variety of distances.

They have some decent races and courses for that matter.

I'm originally from the UK.

Really do like the Japan schedule and the price money is the best anywhere in the world. I'd like to see a schedule of the best races added to the Flat league. I see some 2yo races towards the end of the season in japan.
