Gray

Cheers to Martin and Leon for the com's This Week if we don't get commentators for next season I don't see the point of carrying on with No Handicapper's and Commentator's

There's an issue with the purses for the flat finals. Races 34 to 39 in TOM says the purse is 400k for each race but the purse actually run for in each race was 40k. Being finals, I'm assuming 400k is correct. I won one race and placed elsewhere. That's big money for this stable.

Looking at my horses purse earnings in my stable it looks like the right amount was paid out. So all seems right.

Why not give the commentators the big races to commentate on. The lessor races could just have sound effects or the games Scottish chap.

Bring in a VAR handicapper, limited appeals to request a handicap review for all trainers per week.

Sorry for my ignorance, what's a VAR? Virtual, ok just looked it up assisted referee. I'm quiet happy for the game to handicap but needs the non-British courses to handicap equally, only Mark can change that.
If next season is cancelled I understand. It`s a LOT of work to keep things going and I have no idea how Gray keeps it afloat without dedicating his life to it and I'm sure he does. Not to mention Leon who has made TOM so workable and now is feeling the pressure of family life, perfectly understandable.. Both have gone further than my better half would allow without a divorce been mentioned. Thanks to both of you and everyone else who made the league possible.

Having been doing the flat handicapping since the upload window I can confirm the only thing that needs to be adjusted is the foreign race handicaps. Can we just swap these over in the schedule? There seems to be no need to have 0-90 handicaps at Longchamp an Sun Valley or wherever that are increasing horses ratings 20lb +. So far every week the only races I've had to get involved in have 95% been these Foreign handicaps, or small runner fields. I'm more than happy to carry on doing the handicapping next season like this. After the maidens I doubt there's much to do without those foreign Handicaps.

It would be a massive shame about the comms. Definitely one of my favourite bits of the league. Martin an the other lads do a great job, hopefully we can sort that before next season, but I imagine everyone seems to need a little break anyway, so there's no rush?

I think everyone just needs to take a step back an have a breath at the minute. Been a slightly frustrating season in the forums, however, the league season itself has been the most competitive since I came back. Been a great season. I'm happy enough to carry on as the handicapper an bookie (takes up no time at all nowadays thanks to Leon sorting it in TOM)
