Same as last year, wanted to boost interactions with some stable tours as we are a week out and stables are starting to take shape

Flat:
Was happy with last years performance, looking to push into the top 10 now with some possible group winning chances. Will again aim for the big handicap finals, I've been slowly making progress and fortunately in a position where I have better horses so none are returning although in trials, some of these are only just beating those, not expecting huge progress from my sprinters, especially 2yo's although feel I've made some inroads from classic distances up.

2yo's

Blue Peter Revival - 5f
Just about scraped through some mediocre trials, will be aimed at handicaps later in the season.

World Government - 6f
Another only just scraped through, actually not as good as The Predator from last season but nothing else, will be happy if ending the season rated higher than 70.

Leipzig Lady - 7f
Very handy in trials at all ages, Sussex and Eclipse winner in game and will be miles better than last years 7f/milers, hoping to be 85/90 rated area.

Carnivore - 1m
Not the best in-game and scraped through trials, handicapper at best.

Mont Doom - 1m1f
Royal Lodge and Arc winner in game, could pick up some handicaps, again hopefully 80+

Tauros - 1m2f
One of my newer batch, French Derby and BC Classic winner in game, could be a handful at top handicap/listed level.

3yo's

Imhoteps Curse - 5f
3yo Sprinters don't often have their own races so season will be a struggle for this one, breaking 70/75 will do.

Memory Bridge - 6f
Not the best in game and scraped through trials, my sprinters aren't the best and again 70+ will be feasible.

Alert Warning - 1m Filly
Would have won far more in game if not for Leipzig Lady as they came through in same season, should be competing in good handicaps.

Vaders Doom - 1m1f Colt
Was unbeaten at 2 in game before winning Preakness and Classic as 3yo, dirt specialist and may even be seen at Triple Crown.

Texas Gin - 1m2f Filly
Probably one of the best in the stable, routs all in trials between 1m-1m2f, hoping to be 90+ and possible Musidora/Diane option.

Sampdoria - 1m4f Filly
Another one of the new batch, good game horse, could have an outside shot at reaching the Oaks.

Salopettes - 1m4f Colt
Won the lot in game, UK/Ire Derby, KG, Arc, BC Turf, loves Epsom too, I really hope he's competitive, if top 5 in any race in first week or two, he'll go Chester/Derby.

Devils Moor - 1m6f
Useful type, should fare better than last years 3yo stayers, hoping to be high handicap standard.

4yo's
Sovereign Sceptre - 5f
Few lengths better than Mastermind who was rated in 80's, hoping could run well in handicaps and 80/90 rated.

Tsunami Warning - 6f
Not as good as Sovereign Sceptre but should hopefully be around the 80 mark and pick up some handicaps.

Bullet Beatrice - 7f
Not the best in game and scraped through trials, only here as lacking options at 7f, 70-80 rated most likely.

Doom Of Dartmoor - 1m
Was pretty handy in game and in CK, milers were my best last year and this one plus Pyramid Puzzle are far better, hoping for Heritage Handicaps/Listed wins.

Pyramid Puzzle - 1m
Not much to split him with the above, Ascot specialist and rarely gets beat there in game and in CK. Aiming for Royal Hunt Cup.

Crocodile Tears - 1m2f
Dirt specialist again and beat Vaders Doom in a Classic in game. hoping to pick up some handicaps on the AW/Dirt.

So Scottish - 1m4f
Sire of Mont Doom and Sampdoria so has the pedigree, can go further too, 85/90 handicapper hopefully.

Titanfall - 1m6f-2m4f
The best in the stable, wins 75%+ of all trials over 1m6f, all the way up to 2m4f. Leger, Gold Cup and Cadran winner in game, aiming for Group level.

Element One One Five - 1m6f-2m
Pretty handy and challenges Titanfall over these distances, hoping to nab one of the big 2m handicaps.

Reichfall - 2m2-2m4f
Daughter of Titanfall and more of a stayer, consistent type, hoping to aim at something like the Cesarewitch.

Clash Of The Titans - 2m4f
Out and out stayer, Goodwood Cup, Gold Cup and Cadran winner multiple times in game. Loves Ascot, hoping to make the Gold Cup an option.

Jumps

I don't have a jumps game, I just have cast off flat horses that barrel through every fence... Not expecting anything from them, I'll take 4-5 wins throughout the whole season. Not going to go through them but best chances are probably my 2 NHF horses as they don't have to jump a fence

Homerry is probably the best in the stable, wins trials anywhere between 2m-2m4f over both fences and hurdles, Nebula Dawn is probably my best staying hurdler and would possibly have been in the flat team had Titanfall not been on the premises. Carol To The Bells is very consistent in Chase races between 2m2f & 3m. Devils Plan will also probably be one of the better ones.

Good luck all, thanks again to those running things, once again I'd love to help out but with work and one soon to be two children running rings around me, I don't have the time!

My jumps team. Been ready since the end of January. Got to go back to my books to remember them.

My two miler chasers have probably improved the least since the last league so i have questions about them.

I think these might be my best.

Mrs Batt is a hold up horse( i know its a shock), her dad( cuthill hope) was my top two miler from last year. I do wonder if she needs the stupid fast races like my trials to show her best.

Grey Trix is a front runner who performed best out of my two mile trials. Should go well.


My Two and Half milers looked like they have improved a fair bit on last season, they were my weakest chase division last year. I didn't have a group 1 horse last year so hopefully one of these be good enough to compete with some of the best.
Stalbridge Colonist was best in my trials and if i have one to compete in group1's he might be the one. Wants good ground and is also a front runner. Equally good over 2m4 and 2m5.

My 3m to 3m5 chasers are probably my best division.

There are questions about just how good my 3 mile chasers are, i have my doubts on their bars.

I think Many Clouds will turn out to be best of the bunch on soft ground. Hopefully good enough to give josh and leon a run for their money.

The 3m2 division seems very strong, probably put to many of them in but they all deserved to be there.

All three Pendil- Santas Concerto - Brown Chamberlin are all quality race horses i think. Got to find races for them.

Got two 3m4 horses in Wayward Lad and Greenbank Park.

I waited until my last breeding to name a horse Greenbank Park, i've wanted a good one to come along( hopefully) to give this name out in SO7. My best ever chaser( was a supersta) was in SO6 and he was also called it. Due to being born after my trials he's not really been through them so hopefully my gut instinct is right about him. The aim is the french group 1's and perhaps if good enough to get some revenge for his namesake in the Gold Cup.

I got 4 in the 4m+ division and they all seem pretty nice, my 4 mile chasers (Lottey) was very good last year but my 4m4 horses were a total let down who didn't seem to stay. I just hope they stay better this year but i have my doubts . Drumlargen who is my best 4m and 4m4 good ground horse , not sure u can be good over both so have my doubts that he will stay. Hopefully my best 4m4 horse Northern Bay( Named after my fav national horse) will stay and run well in the national.

Ive got 6 hurdlers but most will be just h'cappers. My 3 milers should be better than my 2m4 hurdlers.

Got a few long distance flat horses to put in this week but they are just fun horses for the long distance h'caps.

Good Luck everyone , lets hope its a fitting end to SO7.

I have uploaded a full flat team from my new save. It is only 37 seasons old. I reckon it needs another 8 - 12 seasons before I see the true potential from this save. At this time of year my main focus is my golf so don't have any time to progress the save further. I take about five days to complete a season.
My new NH save is only 21 seasons old so there are very limited options when it comes to uploading a NH team. Might upload 4 or 5 just to see how they run.

The biggest improvement from my new flat save is at 5f & 8f. On average 2 lengths better at 5f and 3 lengths better at 8f. I have uploaded a 5f filly called Freedom Charade and I am really looking forward to how she goes in the 5f race at Dubai.

My 1m 2f and 1m 4f horses are only slightly better than last seasons uploads. I have loads of good horses up to 8f but have struggled to find a good middle distance horse to improve my stable.

The 1m 6f and 2m horses are not as good as last seasons uploads. Last seasons uploads from my old save were probably the best two horses I have ever bred for the league.

I have never had a genuine 2m 4f league horse. I may have found one in this save. Lexicon Distance is new to my stable, only been in the stable 7 seasons. His sire was a gamebred stallion who won every G1 long distance race in the game over a 5 year period. Most of my other uploads are 100% at 4yo but Lexicon Distance is only 91% at 4yo but I am very keen to see how he performs in the league. I also have two of his first generation foals in my team this season, Lexicon Wood (96%) and Lexicon Thief (97%), but their best distance is about 2 miles. I am not expecting great things from these two, I just want to see how they run in the league.
Lexicon Distance has bred a 3yo colt who looks like he will be a genuine long distance horse. I was going to include him in my team but after I exported all the horses for the league, I found I had exported 29 horses, it was a hard choice but four horses had to go.

Have a good season everyone.
