Whilst we're at it, I assume a bumper runner can migrate to hurdles just not the other way round. I can see a 'Sutherland fires assistant trainer' story in the making :)

Hmm, don't see that mentioned in the rules? Can that be confirmed? She's is pants over hurdles so will make the week 5 cut if this is the case.

Once a horse has run over hurdles Josh it is can't no longer run in Bumpers even if I start my horse off in a bumper and then down the line run it over obstacles it can no longer run in Bumpers sorry m8 hurdles until week 5.

They can definitely migrate to hurdles, even fences, although I think they are restricted as novices.

Day 2 and all but one of my flat horses struggled. Identity (5th) ran really well over 1m which is an absolute minimum trip for him and will be aimed at the Cambridgeshire. The rest look like low/average grade handicappers. Biggest disappointment was Golden Gun who I thought was one of my top 3 horses for this season and a serious Leger contender but she only beat 2 home.

I had better luck over the sticks with Mirage winning a 3m1f maiden hurdle at Worcester. She's a better chaser tbh but does have a habit of belting 1 or 2 on the way round. Bang Bang going close over 3m5f was really pleasing too and will most likely try and qualify for the Moores Millions final. Most of my other runners showed enough to suggest they can compete in handicaps.

Well done all winners and placers and thanks to the comms team for the calls.

It looks like my flat team are still competitive but my jumpers have fallen behind. It goes to show u cant do nothing and still compete the next season, to be front u got to keep improving from one season to another.

Za Approval 1st, my first grass winner by a dirt horse. On to the Kentucky derby.

Ibn Bey 2nd + Glacial Storm 2nd + Lime Gardens 2nd . The aim is to win a race.

My jumpers either fell or ran ordinary .

Yes I agree my flat team has gone backwards, and it was already mediocre as have played very little as been busy with TOM. At least I have been able to improve my NH team. Also my horse stats have deteriorated even though there performances have improved ( over NH ) they have declined on the flat. I have no more full potential bars must be some hidden stats for NH as I base my breeding on each seasons trials

The little bit of time I've done breeding jumpers and I've noticed the same thing, my potential has been going down on them and I'm not sure how I get it back up. I'm glad it's not just my jump horses doing it, rather odd.

Good day for me with 4 winners

UKRA
Clever Girl won the 1m7 maiden by 2 lengths I think the strength in my team comes with the stayers
it did last year so nice to see one get off the mark

NHC
3 winners over the jumps which gives me an early lead in the NHC

Wolfetone was impressive in the 3mile novice chase winning by 4 lengths could be a big player in RSA

Bazzaglliho won the 3m1 maiden chase a shade cleverly and cheekily looks a nice prospect

Bombshell put in a very impressive run on debut winning the 2m4 miaden chase by
over 6 lengths and looked as if she could have gone on another couple of furlongs delighted with her.

Really surprised by the performance of the NH team put about 5% of the work in that went into building the flat team


Congratulations to all the winners and placers
Huge thanks to the team
great comms as every lads

Best of luck to everyone tomorrow


Mate called a few of yours, wow Clever girl looks nice in the making as well as Bombshell who ran on nicely, congrats keep up the good work mate.

Regards
