I think the stayers races have been ok, have had plenty of races to run them in and my 2m4f horse hasn't run much purely because of getting a high rating in a maiden which i'm quite happy with rather than having a lack of opportunities as Capriosa has been pretty much able to run week in week out. I think the stayers division races have improved on the past and there are more opportunities.

I totally agree with you Nick about 1m 2f horse I got my horse 2 runs so far in but I would upload a 1m 2f 2YO in the window upload after week 5 next time but in having a 1m1f in week5 and a 1m2f in week 6 the time the 1m 2f Nursery in week 8 your 1m 2f horse could have had three runs with still 5 more weeks of the season to go.

To be fair Gray I think you've done a good enough job for catering for that anyway, not many people will have more than 2 2m2-2m4f horses and you have the 0-85 in week 3 plus a 2m2f 0-110, Chester Cup and a 0-90 2m4f race in week 4, 2m3f 0-85 in week 5 and 3 races over 2m4f in Ascot week, I think it is perfect how it is. Would be interesting to see what others thought.

I thought the two year olds was perfect. I'd be surprised if it can be improved. I don't mind having the 1m-1m2 horses run after the middle window, perhaps have one or two more races for them.

I will be doing it week by week and uploading as I go along so trainers can discuss it and have their views if its looks like we have enough stayers then I wont add anymore there is to many group races but only in certain weeks like week8 but a few more handicaps can be added from Week 3 onwards as Week 1 and Week 2 will have mostly maidens.
