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 i will be aiming at some of the finals too probably the staying ones but will have entries in all of them

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.

 Re: Weather for Week 1
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

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.

 Re: Weather for Week 1
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.

 Re: Weather for Week 1
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
