What a difference a day makes, could not do a thing right day one on the NH but everything fell into place day 2. Even the White Witch won, though she was aided by a stumble.

Angel on my shoulder was especially impressive and looked a little more like the horse I trialled.

Blank on the flat but Belladona still gave a gutsy performance for 3rd.

Great week for stable winning G1's in both leagues. If someone would have said you'll win G1 on the flat i would have LOL. Flat league is just for fun, it bores me to death.

Flat Team

Aymard Cruzene (1st G1) - Awesome front running performance. Didn't think he was going to last home. It's been a great week for my flat team.

NH Team

Landscape Road (1st Grade 1) - Very happy with this result. I have a live Gold Cup contender and trust me he will stay every single yard of the trip.


Subya Near (1st Grade 2) - Back to winning ways with this mare. Been racin in top company all season. Nice to see her win again today.


Zomaradah Alarab (1st) - This was a great performance giving huge weight away to the field and winning easily in the end. Ryanair Chase is the target, I have high hopes of a massive run in the race.

Probably my best week so far this season. My horses are starting to hit form at the right time.

Congrats to all the winner and places. Thanks to the team for making it happen. Roll on Week 9 festivals fast approaching.

Terrible week for me.

Flat

Milano Matrix 2nd - Just got caught on the line, Id say he went for home too soon.

View Lizzie 6th - Really disappointing with this one, Might be the trip that cost her.

Douze Points 13th - Draw was wide, will go up a furlong next week if there is a race.

Points Washington 9th - Terrible at 0-95 upwards, hoping theres a easy race next week.

NH

Bella Bertolini 4th - Nice run, but thought she would run better, was staying on will go up in trip.

Johns Spirit 10th - Big disappoint with him, thought he was much better than Fathom Five clearly not!

Fathom Five 3rd - Really delighted with him, On wards and upwards!

Well done Comms and Winners!

Great week for me All but one of my horses placed and the one that didn't ran a great 6th in a g2.
Managed to win another listed race ( if you can call it that) being as it was a 0-90 but Bosun Briscoe won it well was a great watch!

Thanks again for the comms and race runners
GL next week

Whoohoo had my first winner on the flat in a 0-90 hcp with Shine a Light and two winners over jumps including a Grade 2 with Made to be Strong ( she deserved it) but the flat win means more as it wasn't expected. Got placed in the 1m4f listed race with Pacific Pet and now wishing I had been more bold with the entries again. Thanks to everyone for producing the races and keeping the league going.
Are there going to be videos for the other bonus races?

Congrats Dragon!

Also congrats to the winner of race 7 BUT the camera angle at the York finish line needs some Sirius adjusting. I shouted "Yes! Got you." at the wire only to have the replay show that I had lost. What a let down. Oh well.

The final yards of the race and the replay...

Screenshots. The first is the actual race finish and the second is the replay finish. Something seems off...

Very good first day for me, 3 wins from 3 races on the flat. With Quatro catch completing a hat trick, lady Kinloch picking up a group 2 and a nice win off near top weight in a 5f handicap with sadifiya svetlana, Appears my horses love York.

A nice handicap win for barren scroop in the nh, i was really expecting the horse to be group class, was transferred in week 5 and from trials was expecting much better but nice to pick up a win with him and means i can potentially have a go at the champion hurdle with him now he has a win.

All 4 winners were transfers from week 5 so shows a bit of improvement from my original horses.

I still think it is all about how you breed, if you push the boundaries at 3yo then your 3yo crop will measure up to those producing older flat horses from jump type lines maturing later, it will just take time since we cannot see what we are doing but even in so6 older horses were better to start off with, I will guess in everyone’s stable.

Anyhoo, blank on the flat for me, odd if brave run from Belladona. The Leon and Josh show continues on the NH which must be really boring for everyone else 3 wins couple of near misses and we head into to Cheltenham which usually decides the title, though I remain certain I am shooting for 2nd.

Over 1m2 there isn't much difference , I don't know about 1m4 because I don't have any. MT horse Brief would have gone close to winning that race if it wasn't for a bonehead jockey. Remember in the long term the 3yo will get that weight allowance from the older horses . I don't think there's that much difference really .

Nooooo..... what makes you say that

66% of the races have been won by others more or less so not so bad, Cheltenham might be a little dull by day 3 if you guys clean up......

PU's on the hunt, we have gone from far too many to virtually non-existent!! (controversial lol)

I get pull ups in my trials but normally horses that are crap, by the time we get to league teams I expect that to have been weeded out, personally I think it is an improvement.

Shows over stu

Bit of a meh day for me with a blank of both codes my best win chance fell, hey ho.

Tough week over both codes. Nothing really to shout home about.

For me personally it hasn't been a boring NH season. Been some great races won by a mixture of trainers small, medium and large stables.

Congrats to all winner and places. Looking very good for the titles now LVR and Paul

You will see next season big improvements from everyone in both leagues and the gaps will be a lot closer.
