Thank you Paul, your Breeders Cup Day wasn't so bad too!

No one is more shocked than me

Definitely one of my best weeks of the season, only 2 minor wins on the flat but lots of places and decent runs.
My best jumps horse finally avoided the curse of the race kit and ran 5th in a grade 1 hurdle showing what might of been for the rest of the season .
My best flat horse, not normally saying much, ran 4th in the breeders cup mile which is just about my best ever flat run in 5 seasons. Quick note to Sirius (handicapper) please don't be harsh as he was obviously flattered and as the race was run in America I took the opportunity to run him on drugs which led to the apparent improvement.
Congratulations to all winners and the team behind it all. I've started joining the live stream and that's a great innovation. Sadly just one week to go, although not sure the wife feels the same way.

Happy to announce Rhodes Stables BC horses all ran lasix free HONEST

I grabbed a 5th with Noverre Koo - caught fairly wide all the way and stuck on nicely. A better barrier might have seen a placing. And my 2yo, Downe Japan ran a nice 2nd.

Number 9, number 9 as the Beatles so eloquently put it.....

Got my ninth win of the season with "Compton Masked" picking up back to back handicap wins, never had a horse win 2 on the bounce so pleased, and to win any races this week you have got to be well drawn and have luck in running.

Shocked that I may have had a G1 horse in "Pitch One" who only got uploaded in week 6 and this week chased Pauls, Noble Endevour home and if I am honest if his run had been easier I believe it may of well been different for Noble Endevour and alot closer, but that's racing but a 3rd in a G1 is my greatest achievement on the flat.

The rest on the flat, unlucky with draws and running. (super big fields this week)

The Hunt, just plain disappointing.

Very happy to have had a winner in my last week with Vodka At Midnight. The drunken filly finally put a race together after knocking on the door in her last two. She is a stable favorite and will be back next year, although will probably be restricted to a mile.

The rest of my stable did decent - definitely need to breed more for a closing kick however; all of my horses are good early but have nothing explosive late, which is what is needed for many in the league.

Congrats to all of the winners and what a season it has been! One more day!

whats the chances of Stella Artois covering Vodka at midnight that would be some pairing
great win Mike

I picked up a 4th over the sticks with Japan Andiamo which makes me happy. Could have finished a little closer....maybe even snatching 2nd had it not been held up behind a couple of horses coming to the 3 or 2nd last. But that's racing!
Well done to Mike getting another winner

I had one nice winner today, ' Look three times ' I had to look more than that to make sure it was my horse.
Never saw that win coming

Pleased to have won the G1 Metropolitan with Miss Knavesmire, finally got a strong pace that she could aim at.

Luckily picked up my 10th win across the codes with "Greyemkay" in the hunt, picking up the Perth Gold Cup after Josh's horse "The Estate" decided to stop riding, but this made up for the race previous where "Bay Mandalay" in the Highland National did the same 1/2f out, for Gray to pick up the win with "Gareth Bale" so it evened out.

The rest was difficult as not much luck in running and WIDE, its so frustrating, if only there was an answer, maybe the AI on the jockeys will be better in 7, fingers crossed.

Well done to all those who take part & the team who make it possible.

Here's a sinister idea that occurred to me. What if I uploaded a 2yo who is actually quite talented but I exported him/her in less than ideal fitness and/or gave the jockey the exact opposite instructions of what that horse prefers. That horse would struggle all year.

Then the next season I upload the 3yo version of that horse in top shape with all the right instructions. I could clean up in the handicap ranks. I've never had a returning horse in the league. My horses are always new. Uncouth but possible.
