Don't think I'm competitive at 12f. Just under 2:29 there. I think I'm closer at 14f though.

Definitely :). I expect the pace in league to be a lot slower but for breeding I base on the fastest consistent times horses run and I base the times off the fastest consistent pacemakers I have. I generally run two pacemakers and discard any races run where at least 1 pacemaker does not hit certain parameters during the course of the race.

Pace will be much slower and it is always worth checking how your trials turn out with a slow or medium pace.

dont worry mate i used pacemakers last season did not effect my chances in lge

you will have fair few trainers with handy horses

i have trialed without pacemakers and found it impossible finding consistency very mixed results

i willl always go with a bit of pace in trials

Never use pacemakers. Haven't for many seasons. Find that it hampers your league string. And a lot of the time you find that your horses land up setting the pace for others. I wouldn't worry about my flat horses except my stayers.

My best horses, as always, are going jumping.

I've run them. The times are more variable. The same horses still are there or thereabouts. And even in an off pace race they can still run pretty close to my fastest times in some races

For breeding purposes it's simply easier to have consistent pacemakers that push the fastest possible pace IMO.
