With some new Trainers taking part I Being the handicapper should explain a few guidelines for New Trainers on the flat.

While NH Handicapping is done Automatically in the Race Kit the Flat Handicapping has to be done Manually by me as the race kit is useless and unfair just a few guide lines you need to know if you put a horse in a Group Race it's Handicap Mark might be higher after the race than you expect although I try to be fair as all trainers like to have horse's in the derby etc the maiden races in the first few week's will and should give you a guide with how good your horse's are. Maiden races are hard to win and are won by Group Horse's mostly a winner of a Maiden Race can be Given a Rating of 110 same as a group 3 or listed winner i try to be fair Small Field Maidens could cause a problem hopefully we will have big fields and I would suggest to avoid Group Races with small fields with your 80 Rated Handicapper because a place in group Company would jump up your Handicapper to a high Rating and end it's chance of winning a handicap later in the season.

Week 13 Group 1 Handicaps

Like last season I expect all horse's to have run at Least 3 times by week 13 to take part in these handicaps that includes horse's Uploaded after week 5 its a fair system for all trainers I have introduced a new Handicap Series on the All Weather surface for this season I hope it will be a success as we have all distance's covered from Sprint to the extreme stayers all the British/English A/W tracks have a round each Wolverhampton,Southwell,Kempton with the Final's Held in week 11 at Lingfield.

Good Luck to all

please don't take this the wrong way but I was a newbie once and found the planning of my team quite difficult but unfortunately by week 3 I had virtually no chance of winning any races in my 1st season due to poor management because I had entered what I thought were my best horses in group races thus destroying my chances though the ones I held back that I didn't think were good enough ended me with 10 winners for the season however that said I respect the right of anyone to enter any race all im saying is be smart and you will get winners
