I certainly remember the name Hannan anyway. I went back to have a look at the old site a few days ago does bring back memories haha remember my first winner a donate and draft horse from Jay Burke. Can't remember the name but think it went on to win a group race as well lol Yeah that was me! It's been a very long time! Did you get a e-mail from me I know I sent out e-mails from Toms Members page cause I didn't know who was who so pick through a few and sent some messages saying the new league was starting. Gray If i did i missed it. I did however find my old log in details!  Haven't posted with this account since 2012!

Perhaps that was So 3 or So4??? I'm not sure. It's the old site from the SO2 days when Colm was Pres and had forums for several different horse racing games. I think this has been the main SO site since late 2009.

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Christ this is going back a bit, even I used to play back then, Colm an DownUnderStables the 2 leading runners back then. I did manage to pick up the Derby or Oaks i think tho, an a lot of gp1s. Very different now (an much better IMO) hence why I came back. Albeit only started a few weeks back so a paltry 9th in a maiden my best so far

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Tuesdays races in the books with another series of bad performances on the flat. One nice third and a couple better than they appear mid pack finishes. They will be a force in the handicaps. Did much better on the jumps side. I'd like to thank Leon for the bumper horse advice. I feel I had the best horse when finishing a hard charging third. Gift Wrapped ran wide the whole way and ran into traffic. Gift Wrapped was bred the day before the entry deadline. Very exciting race for me. Followed that up nicely in the next with the old warhorse 10yo El Libertador finishing 2nd to Follis' horse. Got a big smile out of that exacta.  A Follis/Sirius Chill exacta over all of the top stables!

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Tuesday
UKRA 2 winners on day 2 Ambassador Rocharde was hugely impressive winning by just under 2 lengths its off to Dubai with him. My big St Leger hope Order of St George won really nicely too this could be my best horse love her and she stays past 2 miles too.
Chandler Bing ran well in 2nd but was way behind Davy's horse Queen Mary ran a cracker thought she had it she heads to dubai too Red Brick Lane ran a nice race in 3rd better performance than the trials. Nothing finished better than my Oaks Steet City Kid she came flying from the back and was certainly one for the notebooks.
So Far delighted with the start my team has made
NHC Not alot to shout about yesterday and today was worse 2 fallers and 2 pulled up for no reason but will take it on the chin and move on Jimmy Dean 5th was no where near the action in the bumper disappointed by him maybe better suited by staying tracks like cheltenham Happy with Colombian Coffee finished 7th should not be too harshly treated by the handicapper will probably race twice more before grand national so have to pick carefully where and when. By far the highlight of the day was Bonanza's 2nd he was a country mile behind John's winner though. Dont Tell The Boss ran a nice race in 4th but hes a 2 miler and ran well at 2m3 but was just a shade 2 far.
So far looks like it could be a long season ahead at the moment it looks like il be around mid table also need to get a winner tomorrow and get the monkey off my back

 Re: League Weekly reaction
NH Northumbrian Belle becomes my first ever maiden winner. GET IN. There was a lot of fallers mind. Who knows where this gamebred goes next Brimfield and Ukraine also made the money, looks like my stayers could be decent. Overall very pleased with my jumpers today Christmas river was VERY impressive. Good to see Colin Clarke getting maiden winners FLAT They all ran shockers but that is to be expected. When do the handicaps start?? Well done to all winners and placers

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Not as good as yesterday but some promising runs, especially Ninja Samurai and Robotnik.
R14 - Scorpion 8th - Very good run, got outpaced at the 2 pole but plugged on well, Ebor is the aim. R16 - Tiesto 13th - thought he'd finish higher but the run was fine should get a good mark and royal hunt cup is the aim. R18 - Death Rattle 9th - dissapointed but it was clearly outpaced and will improve a lot for the step up. R19 - Saracen 11th - not a bad run considering my middle distance horses are usually rubbish anyway. R20 - Badzilla 9th - excellent run, very pleased with that and wasn't that far away at the end.
NHC R11 - Ninja Samurai 7th - brilliant run and was barely a few lengths away at the finish, pleasing. R13 - Starzilla Fell - still stuck in the fence, apologies she caused chaos at that fence taking 4/5 others with her lol. R15 - Zafoon 10th - more like what I expected, well out the back. R17 - Robotnik 7th - had a good feeling about this one and she showed good potential in defeat, will win a race this year. R19 - Apollon 10th - Again I knew my 3m chasers would be bad so not worried by this, may need further. R20 - Zeo One 12th - Poor performance, will wait for lowly handicaps.

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Flat Will nothing to report didn't have many runners today though I waiting to pounce in the handicaps and spoil Sirius and Mr Follis plans oh and Steve  Jumps A Good day three winners and why race 16 hasn't got any coms is disappointing not because Bapak Pintar who was gambled on the Exhibition National and fell 1st won it for me what a race Short Heads between the first 5 with Pj's horse on the tails I think Leons horse will cause problems for any horse hanging right and Royal Jim was a surprise in the Novice Chase won it quite Cheekily and moving up to second in the Jumps Table behind John good day for the stable and my chaser's are looking good.
