The Rowland Merrick Hcap in week 6 is also 0-110 whereas it's a G3 Hcap in real life I think?

Some group races were flipped to handicaps in order to give more balance, I would guess that.

Ascot takes most of the 3days this week it was decided this was to much Top Tier races in one week the Med and Lower Tiers would have to enter horses in races thwy had no chance so adjustments was made for Races Like the Jersey and some other raes including a 2yo race was made into Handicaps so the lower trainers had races to enter.

We also adjust other races in NH the same way to cater for all tier trainers and No changes to Ratings will happen except i will look at the 0-160 for staying Chasers.

Gray

Flat R19 is listed as 0-70 but max rating 100. I imagine it should be 0-100 considering there's already a 0-70 over 11f

Also NH R37 & 39 are almost the same as each other

Think we may need to look at 3m Novice Hurdles early season. My top horse 'By Royal Decree' who is 4 from 4, again cannot find a suitable race this week, having checked there is nothing next week either, have we lost some for these stupid Far Hills races?. Will not run again until week 9 and so far has 3x base novices and one G2.

4 from 8 not ideal and no other area seems so sparce, certainly don't need two of them this year.

Josh

I agree Josh, raised this with Gray early in the season and one was switched to a novice race in earlier weeks.

Next season needs to be a better balance with the staying hurdles, or we should all just upload one novice.

There is a 3Mile Novice Maiden Hurdle Race32 you cant expect horses to ran every week the far Hills is a new race added this season Race 26 has been changed Next week from a Hunters Chase to a Novices Hurdle.

Gray

Race 32 is a novice chase, one of at least 3 this week. I don’t expect to run every week but to have only 4 races in 8 weeks feels a little off much like the 4m chasers when rated over 140.

Just something for next year, is what it is this.

Lack of early season juvenile hcps. Noticed last season I had to take older horses on to get a chance but race 31 this week justifies the point atm with 66% 4yo entries so far.

Week 8 - Novice Chases

There are 3 such races this week and all have less than half a dozen runners.

Race 4 -- Dipper Novices' Chase G2 -- £40000 -- Cheltenham New F1 -- Chase -- 2m5 -- G2 Novice Chase

Race 8 -- Scilly Isles Novice's Chase G1 -- £50000 -- Sandown -- Chase -- 2m4.5 -- G1 Novice Chase

week 8 flat races 23 33 37 3 x 1m2f 2yo flat races 1 listed 1 0-80 1 0-100

Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't touch the 2yo races but there have been quite a few problesm with them

week 9 races 35 and 37 are exactly the same

changed the Baden Baden one to 0-90 . No draw bias there so bend won't matter
