One of the biggest SO sprint wins I've ever seen besides a sprinter John had - Coigach I think it's name was.
Leon's horse was motoring through as well.

I think u are talking about Lochsong, named after the mighty mare She went unbeaten 6 for 6 in a season. This was her best win in the King Stand at ascot

First and foremost congratulations to Ryan for your first league win, great achievement and I hope the first of many.

Right my lot, there are always weeks that define the title races, for me and the NH this year it was week 5, not simply because Leon had a 5 race swing in his favour but also because the horses he and other trainers brought in appear to have nullified my slim advantage in certain disciplines. This week has underlined it and I predict a steady increase in the gap from here on.

Day 1 - not much to shout about my usual bunch of seconds and a single winner in the Long Walk Hurdle by Tigris of Gaul a horse who has long since departed the trial sheets and breeding barn, like many of my current team.

Day 2 - equally depressing really, blankety blank on the NH some woeful jumping and my customary bundle of sodding seconds. Nice win from one of my new flat 2yo’s at the Sandown Mile, but little consolation really and no excitement as I ran the race.

Not enough in the NH on day three to avert disaster and I ran a few of them so already know but some possible interest on the flat.

Great comms as always chaps.

Josh

Thank you Josh, hopefully first to many

Only 3 worth mentioning,

Flat
View Lizzie 1st - I am over the moon with her even if it was a handicap a win is a win! I might keep her in that distance, We will see next week.

Douze Points 2nd - I always knew he got something in him and he has shown it today. Dont know where i will be headed with him but will stick to handicaps.

NH

Bella Bertolini 5th - Has shown something today, maybe put her up in trip, we will see next week.



Great commentarys! Wouldnt be the same without them,

Well done to all the winners and placers

roll on tomorrow

God another awful day of jumping form my team, 7 runners and 3 fallers. I had 1 winner from my mad front runner joint sovereignty but even he got totally out jumped. I don't think any of my jumpers can jump quickly i've had 56 runners over fences with 13 winners and 14 fallers.

Good week so far for me with 3 winners on the flat, and some close ones over the jumps, just a shame none of them can really jump already had 7 fallers this week, not spent hardly any time jumps breeding though so some good horses to build on for next season.

sorry to the comms team for Ignatieff Kalinisi it was a game name i never bother naming them as most end up deleted, and i wouldnt have a clue how to pronounce it either

Great win!
I did the comms on Sunday - been hard to not drop a hint in the forums.

Well done to everyone so far this week with winners and placers and to Ryan for that first win!! More to come I am sure

Very happy with my horse Masovian in the Eclipse he just didnt give up! I nearly sold him as he was no good till he hit 7 and he is a great hurdler on the NH too in my trials, I had better start breeding with him I think. Also Quiros my star 2yo is looking fantastic too, breeding barn for him as well

Thanks to all that are involved and run the league you all do a fantastic job. Cheers lads

Well done with Masovian. When you breed with him be very careful about selling anything of his until they reach 6 or 7 as have learnt the heard way that this is not a good idea for late developers when they go to stud.

Good start for me this week.


Machengoidi looks real class winning over a distance too short on good ground. GI Joe almost performed a miracle in the King George. On good to soft or soft he may have won. Well doen to Davy though Come Shamed has been therabouts the whole season.

My best winner was Order War though a 9yo winning a g2. I think there is a real chance he can win a G1 this season and set a record that may stand for a very long time.

It would canter in with SO7. Beast of a sprinter.

Thanks Paul and Doug,

Dont want the league to end

The good thing with this game is that it seems to be a level playing feild with 3yo against older horses, in so6 the 3yo had a major advantage.

Yes, this is true. I wasn't sure if this was still the case as I don't have a stable.

I think older horses may be better. Which is good as you will be disadvantaged just uploading a whole lot of classic 3yo types and expect them to carry you through the season. You will need a better balanced stable.
