Post Horses added mid-season
Few random questions!

How does the league usually change with the mid-season additions? Does the overall quality have a noticeable spike or makes less difference than you'd expect?

Does the schedule change significantly to allow certain types of horses to be added mid season? (Ie long distance 2yo etc)

Do horses come in with a 75 Rating and mess the handicaps up much or usually not much of an issue?

The top and middle tiers tend to see an uplift though it is only really noticeable from within, and even then not likely to be ground breaking, but there are always a few monsters arriving.

You will see more maidens and yes more races up to 1.2m for 2yo types. Otherwise as we were, there will be less handicaps during the return of maidens which are basically group races but only for a week or so.

Unknown on the handicaps, they do come in at 75, expect there will be a little handicap intervention for a week or so in the new format.

The top tier also know what they have so a lot of new horses will head straight to group/graded races.

Any horse that enters a handicap without a ran is Taken out and deemed a Non Runner all handicaps are for horses that have had a run a given a Handicap Mark.
