Lots of comms for you, some unusual distances this week which might throw up a few surprises......

Cheers Guys.

Another great week! Well done winners and placers, 2 for me plus a few places...Might have a few cheltenham winners on my hands! Full write up later as back from uni so seeing the fam!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What drama again this week, this is by far the best league going.

By the way who won the novice chase!! We saw no photo!!! Looked like a dead heat to me, on TOM it has Electrolyser in 1st and the description says just got up but where the mood and the split times are it has 1 next to pass the peace?!?! and the times are dead equal! I seriously think this could be the first dead heat in SOPL history!

what a dreadful ride the jockey gave Mandango Fandango!!!! well done fixit bud, good win, but im reeling at the jockey on mine. should of been grade 1 number 3 there.

wonder if Paul will give me a bonus for winning both MM races?!!!

Well done winners and placers.

I had 2 winners, Daed race 16 and Jones Moans race 18.

Great week again for my stable with 3 wins and some shocking rides i have to say. Who the hell is SJ HASSETT, neva even heard of the jockey. Don't understand why the Top Jockeys aren't riding in the top races.

Hightlight of the week for me. Smoking Aces, flying at the finish to take the G1 race, after been boxed in with 3f to go. Showed a great turn of foot in the last 0.5f.

Lippy Slap looks top class, going to be a tough call on who goes for the 2m5f race at Cheltenham.

Smooth Sailing - Seems very versatile over both Hurdles and Fences. Don't think iv ever had a horse what's won over both. Very pleased.

Moonshine - Just about hit every fence today and still thought she was gonna take the race, until another very bad blunder at the last. Jumps like a stag at home.

Another Drama filled week in the NH.

Congrats to all the winners and placers this week.

Made up with my 1 horse in my Jumps stable managing to win his race on his Hurdle debut. He is going to make a half decent chaser next season but made up I managed to get a win from both my horses this season


Well done everyone with runners and staff

Well done Bazdev


Matt

Well Done to Matt & Bazdev..good wins

Ryan i should be taking money off you

as u must be the richest Trainer in NHC now in PM won

well done all winners & placers this week

my stable had a few highlights

Chicken Soup was my only winner may have been a mistake

taking him out of the Champion Hurdle Trial as he won his restricted

in a second faster time

Another Baringo came too late but ran a good 4th in Peter Marsh Chase

Intoxicated would have been 4th in MM race but for hitting the last hard

For me the most impressive horse of the week was Lippy Slap

for me i was most impressed in the manner in which he/she won !!!

All MM PM will be paid as soon as i have the time

Paul(LR)

Decent week for me one winner and a few places

Distant Thunder Stormed to victory to win the 3m5f Chase

This Is New Zealand mugged on the line in the 2m1f Grade one, decent effort though

Denman Ran On to be 2nd on debut over 3m, very pleased with this effort

The Snail Plugged on well to hang on for 2nd in heat 1 of moores millions

Flame Star gusty effort to grab 4th over 3m giving weight to every horse

Touch Of Amber outpaced 3rd off 10

Thanks Ryan. Never expected Campaign Cake to win today was hoping for 3rd, new she had a big race in her but... over the moon with that... thought she was gonna have to battle more with the field closing toward the line. Your jockey definately went for it a too early.

Historic Trends ran very well carrying the penalty, more than happy with 2nd.

Looked like Barcelona Bird stayed the distance in the 3m4f MM but a mistake 4 out cost her any chance just when she`d got back into contention. Hate it when they really quicken up just before a fence, normally fall but at least she stayed upright so taking some positive things from the race.

Good week for me, 2 wins and plenty of places....Enjoying my stint in the NHC this year, much improved.

PLAY THROUGH THE PAIN was a gallant 4th in the novice chase, well deserved. SANOTIERS has run some big races and ran well into second at Ascot, will definitely go to the World Hurdle and will have a big chance of a place there. RESCUE OPERATION & TURBO CHARGED both a good hardy 5th and better performances. PRANCANNER looked good on debut and may go better with better ground. ELECTROLYSER run a huge race just getting back up in the 2m4f novice chase, will go to the Jewson. PORSCHED ran another big race when 3rd in the MM looks a decent horse and will be hunting some more prizemoney. VODKAIN was my performance of the week though beat some good horses that have done well in top company and drove them into the ground, a Triumph Hurdle shot is in order now.

A fantastic week for me in the NHC this week with 4 winners, the most I've ever had in 1 week in any league since my first runners back in season 6.

White Light (4th) - I thought he might be outpaced over hurdles so really pleased with the run.
Zafonic (1st) - had everything in his favour this week and I thought he would go very close. He'll need to jump better to win again though.
Happy House (1st) - has run some good races in defeat and looked to have an e/w chance here. Chuffed to bits she managed to win.
Perry Said (4th) - ran another decent race. I did think he might even win about 2f out but he didn't find a lot at the business end of the race. That's about as good as he is.
Big Commotion (3rd) - trip was too short.
Penny Lane (2nd) - a well beaten 2nd but still really pleased with the run after she was pulled up on debut.
Vivious Lover (1st) - a very pleasant surprise here as I was convinced the trip might be too short.
Picture Book (1st) - very surprised by this after a slightly disappointing debut over 2m6f. I wasn't sure if the step up in trip would suit so I'm chuffed by that performance. I might give her a run over 3m next and see how things go.

My other runners Darnley, Sacrifice and Thor all fell.

Well done all winners and placers.
