I think Leon said rules have to be sorted by today

I think with this that the longer the distance the bigger the range? A 5f horse wouldn't be able to win over 9f but a 2m horse might be able to win over 2m4.


5-7f
6-8f
7-10f
8-11f
9-12f
10-13f
11-14f
12-16f
13-17f
14-18f
15-20f

Thats only a quick bit of thinking. I see 2f is the most popular and I agree with this at shorter distances, just thinking about the stayers.

I agree matt a 5f horse prob would not be enterd in a 1m1 race
but a 2mile horse could well win a 2m4 race

we need to get the rules sorted not everyone is going to be happy

but how about this

ideal distance max distance bracket
5f............5f to 7f
6f............5f to 8f
7f............5f to 1m1f
1m............6f to 1m2f
1m1..........7f to 1m3f
1m2..........1m to 1m4f
1m3.......... 1m1f to 1m5f
1m4...........1m2f to 1m6f
1m5 ..........1m3f to 1m7f
1m6 ..........1m4f to 2miles
1m7 ..........1m5f to 2miles2f
2m+ ..........1m6f to 2m4f

That sound's good.

its a fair 2f either side at most distances like the majority have voted for but a bit of leeway for stayers

5 -9F: +/- 1F i.e. you run in a 5f maiden and over the season you can then run over 5f or 6f.
10 -14F: +/- 2F (meaning you can have a horse run in the guineas/Dante/Judmonte International, or a horse run in the Derby/Leger)
15F - 16F: +/- 3F or 4F at the discretion of the steward(s)
16F +: +/- 4F meaning you can have a Dubai Gold Cup, Ascot Gold Cup, Goodwood/Donnie Cup, Irish St Leger, Melbourne cup horse.

Copy and paste of my idea again.

While the best trip for most horses will be the same in both the ck and league, trainers should bear in mind that for some horses this will not be the case. Your best miler in the ck might be best at 10f in the league or vice versa.

My first group 1 winner was best at 6-7f in the ck, and didn't stay 1m, but won its group 1 in the league over 9f!!

Totally agree with this. I had 2m4 horse who was best in my trials but useless in the league. I dropped him back to 2m and he romped home.
