Never hold horses back mate. You will always find better if you are playing the game. Horses that dominate Season 1 would 9 times out of 10 (except jumpers) be no good come Season 2.

I think we should have a second season mainly for the newbies. I don't think we have anything to worry about. I am pretty sure there will be another season SO4.

When the schedule was created, I don't think anyone had estimated the amount of trainers, horses and runners per race that the Uk league has got. There are numerous 0-100 or 0-110, I think there are even one or two 0-120 races but all those are more frequent towards the second half of the season. Maybe one or two -90 races in the next week or two could be increased to incorporate horses struggling to find suitable races because they are rated over 90 but the idea I had when handicapping week 1 was to force the horses who performed at the top level, ie 93+ ratings to look at feature races, be that Listed or Group company or wait for suitable handicaps, and for everything else to try and find their feet in the early season handicaps available.
I like the idea of having minimum ratings to qualify for races, instead of 0-???, especially when you look at some of the entries for races in week 2 and think that may well help the congestion in some races but it's not my call, I can only second your suggestion. It's possible the maidens may be split into two divisions again until a solution is settled upon.

DB...I think your right...for once .....Just annoying i had to remove 3 horses and i have knowhere to run them....If champion trainer is based on wins then some trainers will lose out...Thats where im coming from..then again crazyboy is miles clear so its not so important...

Ha, I might have to use that as my new signature.

The most amount of uploads is before the season starts so why not have divisions for the first 4 weeks only.

For this season we can resume this for week 3. It then goes back to the rules stated by colm above till it gets sorted out.

Just a suggestion.
