Just some notes.

Firstly

You not allowed to have any horses in your stable with other trainers bloodlines in them. You will be thrown out of the league if this is the case. It is very easy to spot this. So if you have any now is your chance to remove them.


Secondly

We are taking part for fun but if there is a blatant disregard for fair play all your horses will be hit with a handicap rating penalty.
By this I mean if the majority of your horses are been run at the wrong trips to get good handicap marks, There are stewards in place to monitor this and the penalties for those taking liberties will be severe.


On the positive side it looks like we have a huge turnout for this season. Good to luck everyone and hope all goes well.

Agree with above Leon well said

one question....

i've uploaded all my horses, where it says preferred distance ive put the figure that it says in the game (as we know it can be quite innacurate) ive got one horse whos preferred distance according to the game is 13f but its actually 7f. I understand the rules of handicapping and the distance spread, just thought i'd let you know in case you see one of my horses that is running in a 7f maiden when their preferred distance is much further than that. is that okay? or will i have to re edit all my horses preferred distances?

its ok yes its supposed to be the horses best distance when exported but
dont worry as long as you genuinely enter the horses in right races through season there will be no probs



but if your horse bombs in a 1m5f maiden and wins by half a street over 7f handicap you will be shot :P

good luck for the season mate you will be fine

What about two year old's, they are always out of kilter.

Can anyone tell me are the season end Juvenile races for two year olds on Grass or Dirt, hope they are on dirt because my dirt breed horses( 100% of my horses) need something to aim for.

Is this based on the trainers name?

I have horses in my stable where I have used a different trainers name when breeding horses. Some games I just typed a random selection of letters, some I used Jim as a trainers name, others I used J Murray and finally I used Wannabe.

Sorry if I have caused a problem, a newbie mistake.

and used it for breeding

TOM does not display the going or surface but if you look at the schedule it will say either turf or dirt. The breeders juvenile races are on dirt

We had plenty of 2yo races on turf so thats why I went with dirt for those two.
