AKHC said few weeks ago he has not played for months and he is going with what he had few months back
if someone dominates then so be it just taking part is enough for me but we are all different just to get this started this is far superior than having no lge

Last season i managed to beat the established trainers at royal ascot in 2 or 3 group races 2yo races so it can be done

I don't understand this all aiming for group winners keith if my horses are not good enough then in handicaps it is I know what rich was trying to do is spread out the winners of group races among more trainers than the ones who where winning them all but I have to agree with PJ the best breeding operations deserve to win group races and that's the point of breeding to get the best horses.

Like a pj I will be glad in picking up a Handicap but would love to pick up a G1 but if my horses are not good enough that's it whats a point of picking up a group race when really its a handicapper at best the best should always win the group races like irl.

What about you Keith picking up the mantle with PJ and both work along with steve.


Is it not nice irl to see a lesser trainer win a G1? Rather than the same three or four win all the G1's because they have more money? Every now and then a smaller yard win a top race and its good for racing. Under the new proposals the trainers who put in the most time and have the best breeding operations will still win the majority of group races but would not dominate every division at every age. The amount of trainers winning a G1 will be very low.

I dont have the time to do what is needed to help run the league.

i could not agree with you more mate its going to be great fun no matter what standard your horse is there are big races at all levels to aim for

i am more than happy to get involved but have no clue how tom works
i would quite happily put together a weekly preview and get involved in any way that steve thinks i can handle no problem

Post Re: New League president required.
and will get good field sizes a real bang to the end of the season

Maybe
5f final (the galaxy)
6f final (sepit salinger)
7f final (Dubai racing club)
1m final (the tj smith)
1m2 final (cox plate G1 handicap)
1m4 final (caufield Cup)
1m6 final (metropolitan)
2m final (Melbourne cup)

All official g1 handicap races apart from the cox would be great end of season for all
and everyone would have a chance

Sounds like a definite to me.

Maybe make the Metropolitan a tad further at 1m 6f.


we could make the cox plate australias 2nd biggest race a 1m2f g1 handucap
would be a class ending to the season a big finale in Aus and very competitive
edited the metro to 1m6f

I'm happy to do Tom stuff especially if it involves programming. Just need to know where we are at present.
Really only want to be doing stuff on the Nh side though, but happy to code some changes into Tom in the future for the flat.

The important thing is to get some time scales as to when the league can start so we can start moving forward.

That's good for me. Does anyone know where we are in Tom.
I'm not interested in being vice or president for that flat. I think Paul will be good for this. He has the dedication which will be needed for these roles. I'm interested in a role on the Nh side only

But I will be happy to help with work on Tom in the future for both flat and NH.
