 Re: League Weekly reaction
NH Archenfield was a good 4th in the Munster National and with her low weight should remain competitive going forward. Bosbury was an excellent 6th in the novice hurdle but another poor day overall FLAT Even with all the handicaps I am just adding duck eggs to my horses form. I need a 3 runner race next week Massive congrats to Scatters on the 2000 Guineas and to Doug, great to see Achiever get up, can he win again? Also, a great win for Kev in the first G1 of the jumps season

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Flat
Music Maker was my horse of the day in the flat. Ran a credible 4th in the Bet365 mile. Rainbow Warrior in race 12 was given a shocking ride. Midfield for the first part of the race but he was dropped to last with 4f to go. Ran on strongly at the end to finish 7th.
Jumps
Numerator Girl is proving to be the best horse in my stable. Finished 1st in the PWC G3 chase. Thats 2 wins and a 2nd. I have tried some quick breeding with her, with no real results. Probably because I don't have a decent stallion to breed with her.
Had a nice 4th and 5th places in races 18 and 15 to round of a nice day.

Not sure how many 2m 3 year olds there are, but doubt there's many!

Well Done Doug mate, great win Matt Thanks Matt I thought your horse was going to steal it - he/she just kept on finding something! Then near the furlong, Darren's horse looked like it was going to run straight past both of ours but it's run ended. Thankfully we didn't get hammered by the handicapper so I am sure our horses shall meet again soon

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Follis - can he win again? I think he can but only in the lower handicaps. Ghost - the breeding campaign has started with that little sprinter I have  PJ and Scatters Once again, thanks for the kind words

I'm suprized mine got as close as it did as it barely stays 6 furlongs and I rerouted it from the 5 furlong handicap to claim some easy prize money!

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Flat - R14 - Flawless Victory (9th) - Another very disappointing performance. R18 - Fatal Zeo (3rd) - Big run in the Suffolk! Beaten by 2 very good horses, had an idea he'd be top handicap/listed company but very high in the weights now. R19 - Virakip Swift (8th) - Was expecting better, might need to slip down the weights a bit more. R20 - The Drone Train (13th) - Standard midfield maiden run.
NHC - R11 - Prezilla (10th) - Needs further R12 - Cantankerous (10th) - Rubbish as usual R13 - Tanahashi (8th) - Stayed on his feet which is an achievement. R15 - Guardian Of The Galaxy (9th) - Worst performance yet. R17 - The Sun God (5th) - I like this one a lot, will find a race to win somewhere I'm sure of it. R18 - Dom Santiago (WON) - Wasn't expecting a win over the jumps in a non handicap! Wow, great performance, was a top flat horse and without Fatal Zeo he'd have made the flat team. R19 - Starzilla (last.. again) - Really should have figured out by now that she needs less than 3m5f!
I'd consider today a success with Fatal Zeo's 3rd in the Sussex and Dom Santiago winning beating some well regarded animals. Both impressed in trials and have hope for them along the line, The Sun God will be winning soon as well hopefully.
I'm doing the ratings for Tuesday's NHC now and hopefully have them done within and hour or 2!

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Flat
R22 - Virakip (7th) - Ran a reasonable race, needs to find an opportunity over 7f. R27 - Starzilla Quay (2nd) - Ran a great race and the step up clearly suited, Ascot is looming and a crack on the Ascot Gold Cup. R30 - Badzilla (2nd) - As expected ran a great race, but Singspiel was always going to be too well handicapped. R32 - Jet (6th) - Ran a good race and opportunities will come for him. R33 - Power Ranger (7th) - Dissapointed, probably needs to slip down the handicap a bit more.
NHC
Zafoon a good 5th in Florida Pearl, Cola Cola a good 6th in the G3 handicap... The rest a dissapointment.
NHC handicaps will be done before this afternoon hopefully.
