Against other game breds? That would be tantamount to suicide . If a horse is well handicapped and there are plenty I suspect that will be I expect the winning time at Melbourne to be under 3:30

It could be, but er it will keep the weight down for mine! The handicap spread is only 30lbs though you would need a real 2m horse to do that. I dont think the time will be under 3:30? Ah it could be on firm.

Okie.. just ran a quick test. A bit extreme but it rams home the point.



Probably 1s for every 10lbs. And I know that at this distance my horses are not going to be the best around given how many are targeting 2m+ whilst I haven't.

We're all doomed.

Those splits are crazy? 1:40 for the second one?

I don't think so . I don't know if I have the fastest pacemakers around but I think they are pretty quick and that does help to run fast times. The pace in the league won't be anywhere as quick but I think given the number of trainers most races will have 1/2 horses running race handy.

The splits are crazy because of the pacemakers, in that trial race I ran 3 of them and they are all capable of running fast carrying G1 weights. Carrying 7lb10 means they go so much faster.

Here's are the pacemakers that set the speed.

your pacemakers are crazy fast i have one of them do you remember you put him up for download
used him in all my 3yo trials

We may aswell give Ahkc all the g1's now not bother with the flat league i think i will go jumps instead forget flat

That one is okay. TBH the two I normally use are faster. Charis is the fastest pacemaker I have.

completely different conditions in lge no pacemakers
i would not give up

That time is so unrealistic, Andy. I can get 3:32 but my second split is 13 seconds slower. No way the Melbourne will be run like that.

Exactly.. and I firmly believe that some are playing it very quiet too. I really think it will be more competitive than some think.

It is a bit unrealistic but shows what envelopes can be pushed. I don't expect to see such pace in the league at all and looking at this I think it is unlikely 3:30 will be broken. I don't think any distance horse capable of running that time will be running off 7st10.

You'd be surprised
