 Re: League Weekly reaction
The usual day of disappointment, though in truth standards are so low right now it is more expectation than disappointment. Nice 2nd place for armoured bay beast who i thought may get up at one point. Roll on next season.

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Not a bad day, no winners but several who got in the money including a third place in the 2yo group 3 race. My first and almost certainly last group race placing of the season and a pleasant suprise.

 Re: League Weekly reaction
A mix bag for my jumpers with Florida Pearl running another poor race but my Favourite jumper Lauras Dream going out with a bang. If only the ground was good at the Cheltenham Festival.

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Still can't buy a winner over jumps. Tobago finished a brilliant 3rd in the G3 Mares hurdle and with a better jump at the last may have upset Leons horse.
Somehow I keep picking up wins on the flat. South Africa wins the 4 runner nursery. He should be better over a mile so hopefully there is a race next week.
Thanks to all the team, you have a kept up the great work throughout the season

 Re: League Weekly reaction
My 2 milers have been brilliant all season picked up a grade 1 yesterday over 2 miles and another today. Both Enter Sandman and Compensatio Morae have been brilliant all season.
Great comms again which really has enhanced the season. Looks like I will get more wins than last season in NH which I am really happy about
Thanks to Gray and race runners for creating a great season. Good luck to everyone in the last week. Hopefully mine can go to start to finish in the Melbourne cup

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Not much to cheer on the flat, though some daft upper group entries did not aid. Pleasing day over the sticks, with a nice place from the xaggerated, and a clear win for jesters armour in a handi after switching from a considered group entry.

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Not many runners today but fairly successful. Picked up a winner on the flat in the 10f Nursery. I'm sure when I watched it there were 4 runners but only 3 are showing up in TOM. Delorian an excellent 2nd in the La Touche, when ideally he wants 2 more furlongs. I may even bring him back as a 13yo if I can access the old file. It's a huge shame he only appeared in the auction when he was 12.

There was 4 runners for some reason in the upload week 5 some horses I think it was because they weren't reset don't show up and are manually entered by me with requests. Gray

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Not many races for my horses to compete over the last three days but I was able to get two seconds on the last day. Du Dordogne looked like winning two in a row when the weight penalty from his last start win caught him inside the last half. High Miss ran a top race for her class and dived again late on the line to just miss out. So all in all I am happy about that.
Congrats to all the Group winners over the three days and as always to the people behind the scenes.

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Finally got a another winner over the jumps and it was BIG one. Northumbrian Belle, a maiden winner in week 1, swoops very late to take the Bet 365 Gold Cup. Absolutely delighted with that and makes the barren run worthwhile. I have not had many winners over the jumps but had 2 big wins after winning the paddy power gold cup earlier in the year.
2 more flat wins today, that's 5 this week. Never had a better week on the flat. Nepal and Bishops Frome break their maiden tags in lowly handicaps.
Just 1 week to go, as PJ said it has been ran impeccably, roll on the Autumn so we all do it again
