We try to make this league a simulation of real life racing with the schedules, the commentaries, the betting etc. And in real life racing, the championships are decided on prize money alone. Jockey title yes, that goes on wins and for that reason you see De Sousa jetting off all over the place to collect wins on the AW evening meetings as well as at all of the main turf meets as well. Trainers like Gosden, O'Brien, Henderson, Mullins etc all go for the big prize money as that is what decides a top trainer.

So i'll vote on that but also say that at the very least, if wins are factored in that should be to share a title. Or have two, one for most wins and one for most prize money, with an undisputed title if someone wins both. I'm new to the league again after so many years away so not sure how it was decided last season but my belief was that it was shared on flat and won outright by Leon in the NH?


If we wanted to change that approach for the new season it should have been done before week one, as having a vote on it after week one - and coincidentally a week where Leon has rinsed Dubai and taken a huge early lead - feels a little unfair.

some of you will remember when it was changed and why keith beaky won the title with 28 winners AKHC (andy) had 81 winners totally ludicrous that a stable that totally dominated and i mean dominated didn't win the title because of the melbourne cup.

That may well be true, but as it is may also be a matter of perspective. By week 3 or 4 I am generally past caring anyway, don’t knock my enthusiasm whilst it lasts.
