Post More group 1 handicaps
Should we have more group 1 handicaps and if so can you make some suggestions.

Here is 2 to start off

Metropolitan Handicap - Kenilworth - 10f ( 2000m )

Durban July Handicap - Greyville - 11f ( 2200m )

There are lots of group 1 h'caps in the US, most of the big races outside of the breeders cup are h'caps

I think these races need to be added if they can fit in OR we cut some races.

USA Tracks are to tight I build Brooklyn the one used in the league on Day 3 might be ok but some game tracks are to tight for 30 runner handicaps you would have to pick the right tracks and Distance or you might start on Bends.

To be fair - Broome doesn't have big fields but it would be fun to add.

About 10 or 12 max' I think. Apparently amazing beaches up that way (and seafood) but the flight from Perth to Broome would be like Manchester to Athens or longer lol
Worth it though if you were game.

I think they have 14 stalls , it was a bugger to make because there was so few things to look at when I made the course , there was no videos on utube and I had 1 picture to go by :lol: :lol:

On this the schedule should be carefully thought through. I am happy to work on the schedule and balance the maidens out as well for the proposed upload week change. For example this week, week 7, there is a g1 6f handicap race which is great. As big trainers will have their horses in the 6f G1. If a race is added for this week it should be a 10f G1 handicap as the big trainers will be in the Eclipse.

The idea of this is that smaller trainers will get a shot at winning a G1, in a race where they have a much better chance than a regular g1

Check through this page - they used to show a lot of races from Broome as most of the jockey's were women.
