John,
Yes thank you, I think my server to your sky has problems as odd mails get returned to me and we appear to be one e-mail behind each time.


Wow! missed all the shenanigans on this thread yesterday, but glad Paul & Josh are too continue, I imagine its a lot of frustration on Josh's part more than a pop at anyone and Paul sadly (for us ) your at the top, as people have mentioned and as in previous seasons with top trainers you are the hunted.. a thicker skin is required & imo you should take it as a compliment.

A lot of exciting finishes and racing on the first day. If you can watch the live screen it will be worth it.

Doubt its today but Praying Lizzie gets a clear run in the preakness

A good day, bagged a winner on the flat in the 5f handicap at Chester but luck plays a huge part there. If you have a handy horse that's well drawn you will take a lot of beating but if you're drawn in the car park forget it and hold up horses have a big disadvantage.
Congrats to all winners.
See you all tonight where I'm hoping to bag some group 1 money .

Yea! off the mark on the flat although only a little 4 runner event, but a win's a win

The rest, well if you were on the live stream you would of heard my whinging with some awful draws at Chester and the AI was up to no good as norm, pray that this is sorted for S07, pretty courses and pixels dont make a game....

I will ask one thing, do we have to update courses ? If trainers are trialing with in-game fences/courses and then the race kit/race runners are using something completely different then this would cause some issues would it not ? or does it not matter and is purely ascetic ...

Can't make the live stream this evening, so good luck to all, at least you dont have to hear me whinging

Well done to all those that take part and team as usual, the spread of winners is a great compliment to the schedule and handicappers, took me 7 weeks to get a win last season...

Disappointing first day for me, though a lot of horses were in the mix and picked up prize money.

Better today with two wins from the jumps team. Dominion of Titans affirms his Supreme Novice credentials on his favourite track with an impressive display of late speed for a g2. Would not make the team now based on recent trials but the win will see him hold his spot.

Cafe Au Lait had a nice run at the mackleson, under decent weight she just stuck up, sorry Martin i thought you had that.

Chess ran well in the CES marking probably her final appearance over hurdles she will switch to chases now to accommodate one of the new breed 2m hurdlers, see if we cannot close the gap on an area I am presently outgunned by the big boys.

Flat team was close but no cigar both days, rushed and badly thought through entries did not aid.

Whats the point.............Hard enough to win a bloody race in the league but a DQ in the hunt..

Dansili Blue disqualified for what appears nothing, in the Henrietta Knight Nou Barris does not stop riding at any point, so where is the interference ???

Thought it was rough in fact really unfair but its out of the racerunners & teams hands
I feel you pain mate I even said that was rough on the live streams horse did nothing wrong

Two wins this week and some nice placings. Back to back weeks with multiple wins? Been a long time since I did that. I got a Group 3 win which is a nice trophy to boast about getting each season.

It pays to look at the entries the night before entries close. You may find a week race where you can divert one of your entries into and hope for at least a good placing. Optical winning was a bit surprising but I did trial her at the track/conditions real quick to see if she could at least run well there. She did and she won.

The Queen of Green won determinedly on the brown in another surprising win. She was bred from US turf stock and raced in the UK game. Yet she showed her best so far on the dirt. I've thought very highly of her - that's why she has the obnoxious name.

Another great week. Congrats to winners,placers and participators.

Well I finally got off the mark with quite an exciting win with Sister Yield - a great feeling to whip home a winner
Well done to Martin with a big two days of calls!

A fantastic week for me. Can't remember the last time i had 3 winners in a week.

Alan Jones won the WIlliam Hill handicap hurdle at Ascot bagging 30k prize money. He is only a 4 year old so could be a major player in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham.

Schumacher was a terrible juvenile last season but has always performed well at home. He was well out of the handicap but won the race at Galway that the stable won last season with Letton. Schumacher won so well hes gone up 15 pounds. Still only rated 85 so could easily go in again.

Bosbury is a 3rd season horse and finally broke her maiden tag. Another horse well out of the handicap so should be weighted to go in again but that could well be a one off and it is that doesn't matter, she is now a winner.

Still looking for the first win on the flat, 4 seconds now.

I am aiming for 10 winners overall this season and are currently on course.

Another brilliant week and many thanks for Leon, Gray, handicappers, race runners and commentators. All your work is hugely appreicated, what a great league we have.

Formula One Follis (Love the nickname Martin)

Very happy that North Ferriby managed to bag his second win on the trot. Will be interesting to see if he can compete higher up in the handicaps.

Other than that two placings in the NH was the only thing to cheer about, lots of my horses aren't good enough.

But to have Three wins in total at this stage feels marvelous.

Thanks to everyone who makes such a great effort of staging the league.

(And to the commentators, next year I will choos fewer names )
