All ideas are welcome its a way to move the league forward.
As Nick says some of us have experienced thus in the past and this know of the pitfalls that exist. I'm not against other people sharing horses I just have no desire to do it myself

I agree with the majority view here, I generally have low grade handicappers, some of which are gamebreds, but I am happy to run my own horses.
I don't think there is a need for gamebred maidens as they can find their own mark in handicaps and be competitive but I'm sure at some point in SO5 we had a handful of gamebred only listed races, 1 at each of the standard distances and this was a good idea.
There is no need for any specific gamebred races over jumps as me and a few other trainers have proved that you can win the big races with a gamebred, at least over the longer distances.

ok so thats a resounding no (which speaks volumes for peoples integrity) was just an idea for next season



integrity means everything to me personally

I have heard stories of cliques sharing horses for breeding between themselves long before i ever had horses in the league
all I am saying sharing horses opens a big can of worms the only way around that is Mark sharing legends for breeding purposes
that would be a solution im all for leveling the playing field and making it much much less time consuming to have something
competitive in the league as you will know Steve I hate to think how much time it took you to get to where you are now
Im all for that but only if it was 100% free from the chance of people cheating.

No one is shooting down your ideas but dont get so defensive when the majority dont agree as Leon said any new ideas would
be welcome I just dont think sharing horses is a way forward and id say the same if you suggested it or anyone else said it and thats
just my personal opinion if the Majority had agreed with you then fairplay the majority rule and id have to accept that as the way forward
or just no longer take part.

Im not having a pop at you I like you Steve have always respected you its just you seem to think everyone is against you at the moment
and i can only speak for myself that is not true

no im good paul couple of bad days ive always tried to help in these forums and im not going over old ground so forwards we go

as for sirrius i do feel his pain as in my 3rd season i was stuck in limbo with not quite group too hi for capprs perhaps the way forward could be 95/115 hcaps instead of some of the grp races 20lb range would still allow a quality field but giving mid range stables a sirrius chance
