For me I just think that Newmarket is a weird track. Always throws up some strange results when i trial there. I'm discounting Polar Catalagan's performance on that basis. Nice to have my first winner at other tracks though. Calatagan Adamay didn't disgrace either chasing Paul's home.

Fair enough there was probably better horses in the race but the race was run fair and square and comments like this are completely disrespectful.
As in real racing races get stolen by lesser horses and trainers all the time try to be happy for a newish trainer winning one of the bigger races. That result in my opinion shows that lesser trainers that don't have 15 group 1 winners in there stable can win top races and will drive people on instead of people thinking 'well it's the same old trainers that win, I'm bored' which personally happend to me the only other time I entered the league.

I think the reaction to this race was really poor i think your horse was so game and fair play to you and your horse
you are spot on your glory will spur the others on this not and never will be a league just for the elitist i personally would
not be involved in something like that its a league for everyone.
i was personally delighted for you Mikey you should be really proud of your brave horse i think your Victory is EXACTLY what the lge
should be all about.

This is what i am trying to incorporate in the newsletter reviews of a handful of races at every level so everyone gets a bit of the lime light
you took a big chunk of it this week Mikey enjoy it and don't worry about anything just enjoy it
see you at the curragh next week my horse has a lot of rebuilding to do bitterly disappointed about his performance
but was truly pleased for you

I must say I am really happy Bob Dylan won I thought it was incredible performance to go start to finish. And he is the type of horse I would love to have in my stable.

Its one for my theory that the quickest times in the ck don't necessarily lead to the best horse in the league.

I for won am really happy so many new trainers are winning top races. In NH we also had a new trainer winning a group 1. And long may this continue

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!! First winner of the league, exploiting a generous handicap mark, eased across the line, thank you handicapper!! Overall a fairly successful week, nearly got home in the Chester cup, a little bit disappointed with heroic quest but form still indicates she'll get further and the jockey waited too long with her. Ill forget about my other 3 runners but 2 olaces and a win are very nice, more than I'd expected before I started the league, and nice to win outside gamebred company.

Thanks Paul and Leon
Its great having a first group winner, group 1 winner and 1st classic winner all in one go.
Was gutted I read the review instead of waiting to get home and watch the race first kind of took the edge off.
Obviously im most pleased this week with Bob Dylan but I was extremely happy with the performance of Maximum Triumph who will benefit for a step up in trip for the Oaks whether or not she can step upto that class I don't know but she stayed on strongly over a mile and a quarter giving the impression a step up will suit.

Most of my other horses ran poor I was disappointed with the run of Expelliarmus I thought he'd be closer and maybe a 1m2f will suit better. Dylan Thomas may well give me a runner in the Derby but I feel a mile might be better after a promising run in the Dante im still not sure where is best distance lies.

Armageddon will step up now to 6f and hopefully win a low class race, Tom Thumb needs a mile but races aren't there and I don't know exactly how much she'll improve for the step up to a mile so a handicap is out of the window. Don't want the stewards fining me lol.
Getting Fed Up ran well for a long way in his maiden and weakend tamely at the end, a return to a mile or 7f is on the cards depending what there is available for him. Black ops will try 1m6f now and Nympho ill drop to 1m2f to see if they improve.

Congrats UBAR now you have to aim higher and success will follow Well Done

Many Congratulations Ubar
Really pleased for you
heroic quest will bounce back
the lge is so competitive but its great to see so many getting winners

Sorry mate maybe i was a bit too eager to get the reviews out i am away for the weekend and have alot to do tomorrow and thursday
so they had to go out today i might hold back reviews to wednesdays to avoid this in the future
i know i would hate that too enjoy watching races b4 reading Leon's newsletter

Don't do that Paul.. it's a great read . If trainers don't want to know the results then they can simply choose to not look at the newsletter till they have watched the races.

I agree with this Paul its my fault its just I had my appendix out on Sunday night/ Monday morning and was only let home this afternoon but was to eager to see how id done. next time ill definitely wait

no probs lads
glad you are enjoying the Newsletter
hope you Feel Better Mikey

Sorry about that Mikey i may have been out of order for saying what i did, well done for winning your Gp1.

Have to say i was gutted for Taran it was like watching Smith mess up on Zenyatta all over again
i was screaming at the screen chalmers WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU IDIOT i bet you gave him the P45 AKHC
and its not even my horse
like real life love watching class horses don't matter to me who owns rides trains them
of course always happy when they come out of Rosegreen my 2nd home

Thanks Nashwan thats decent of you
