I don't know about more h'caps but I noticed the goodwood cup is a group2 when in real life it's group1.

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

Re: More group 1 handicaps
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.

Re: More group 1 handicaps
To be fair - Broome doesn't have big fields but it would be fun to add.

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.

Re: More group 1 handicaps
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

Re: More group 1 handicaps
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
