No split race if your horse gets stuck outside you will get a nice lenient handicap rating which can be a good thing

Well I'm going on record that it's not fair - especially if you lose by a slim margin. Not a big deal with me but I can see some gripes coming if it happens.

And for those who didn't see trial race 4 - this may happen to your horse...

I repeat it's not a big deal to me but perhaps should be prevented from happening.

Yeah I saw it as it was my horse that ran the course wide but its a course issue no courses should have that issue this week.

Well I ran two big fields at Brighton 21 and 16 and everything was fine.

I hope the CK stops acting like a Bitch. It's been a frigging pain. :evil:

Nothing we can do it's the game's Tracks I am sure things in SO7 will improve but I think we are stuck with it anyone who's made tracks know the Align Markers are a waste of time in big fields.

the problem is the knock on effect where certain horses will be in front of the handicapper for 3 even 4 runs quarter of a season is too long also some good horses will miss dubai

I agree but surely splitting the fields will have the effect cos we could have some mediocre maiden winners getting inflated marks

i think maybe the way forward may be to change to tracks that have no draw bias

The races I've run they haven't been to bad, due to CK being a bleep I had to run the 21 runner race twice at brighton and the result's was very close to the first one. It looks close but there's always going to be hair pulling moments, I had one last night.

I think it's going to be a close season( that's all I'm going to say) from top to bottom.

Good Luck Everyone. :D

draw bias is fine. I for one won't be that upset if my horses suffer due to draw etc. It just means there handicap mark will be ok. We used to split races but races take way longer to run now and its also easier for the handicapper if they all in one race
