Dublin Racing Festival For the New NH League Season
Hi Gray, Can we add this new racing festival to the NH schedule? This takes place at Leopardstown around a month before Cheltenham festival. Would be a real shame not to add these into the new season. https://www.leopardstown.com/race-meeti ... &race=1250

No issue from me, though as four from six are G1’s they either need to be additions or come at the expense of other G1 races, since they are more goodies for the top few.

The meeting as 8 G1 races in total for novices and open company over 2 days.
Could be a mid season festival before all the top ones take place towards the back end of the season.

I think we need more longer distance races like the 4m1 Eider Chase.

The Eider is in February so would have to be in week 9 Just looked got two Moore's one 3m 5F one 4M 4f already got 39 races means with have to delete one or drop the Moore's Million leg 12 down to 4M 1F call it The Eider and it will still be a Moore's Qualifier.

Gray Makes sense to make those Moores Millions Qualifiers real races whenever it fits the handicap range as more real races the better. Just put (MM Qual) in brackets. Eider would be a good race to have. Could do the same with some of those lower rated Nationals like the London National etc.
