YES important
there are not many maidens after week 2
not every horse is going to be group quality
imperative to get a mark asap


It was said with tongue firmly in cheek. All my horses will be handicappers so I will have to try and be cute. I will be aiming at the big end of season handicaps, especially the Sydney and Melbourne cups.


good targets to aim for try and keep one well in land yourself a big end of season coup

Running on the wrong ground is more than fine but please dont wrong them over the wrong trips all season to get a false mark.

Surely running them all season at the wrong trip/ground to get a good make and have it right off will make it realistic? Lol

I dont know whether you are serious or not but I suggest you check the rules.

I wasn't disputing the rules at all. However unless your living on cloud 9 trainers have been getting horses well handicapped for centuries. Also it maybe some people's best chance of a winner.

Pjrhodes can i ask a question......I'm not nit picking but looking at the fixtures do u think there should be more Maiden races, if u not entered many like me in the first week then u not got many opportunities after that to enter them after the first week.


Ps) Great work on that Fixture List, Very Pro.

The point is to get a run asap

once you have 1 run you will get a handicap mark and you can manage from there

we were eager to get started ASAP

we can discuss improving the schedule after this season
