Thanks for the replies of encouragement, i am sure they are with good intention.
But please let me be clear. My post has zero to do with my current or future form and everything to do with the League (Flat races).

Clearly the overwhelming opinion is that the changes have been an improvement.
Its great that the trainers feel this way and is a good thing for the League.

I totally agree that breeding with the new format is so much more interesting and no longer a grind.

In my opinion the changes have done little to resolve what i thought, at the time they were being debated, were the dominance of some trainers and the encouragement of new trainers with some success.

My fear is that maybe a small handful of trainers might join in the feeding frenzy at the top of the table next season, but the gap to the mid level trainers will be even wider.

I'm also concerned that a brand new player in a season or two, will have an even bigger challenge to get a foothold in the league.
New or returning players this season had the same level start as everyone due to the refresh. That wont be the case going forward.
At least in the past a new player had the opportunity to look at the stats and work out if he had a half decent horse or a donkey.
And we still had at least 5 new trainers drop off this season.

So i guess if nothing else we have improved the breeding enjoyment which cant be a bad thing.
It will be an interesting next couple of seasons.

P.S. To avoid any confusion about where i stand....
If there was a vote tomorrow to bring back the stats i would vote "Yes".
If there was a vote to bring back TTF's i would vote "No"

Anyone remember this season now you're talking domination

STU you were a member of the elite

3 - Once you have success it is fairly easy to get stuck, as your as likely to degrade your lines as you are to improve them as you cannot really see what your doing, either by breeding your own stock or by sprinkling in new gamebreds. I also think most of the top tier have experienced some horses that simply never produce at stud.
