2 wins this week.

Anglo United, gamebred who won the 2m northumberland handicap. Still targeting the melbourne cup just hope the mark isnt too high now.

My dreams won the 1m3 fillies listed race. She is a new upload who won in a photo after being blocked in a couple of times and running quite wide. I used new breeding lines and she seems to be the stable star. Going to use her to breed for the new season, hope to get a group winner out of her. :wink:

Entries for the week. Lots of 2 year old G2s. Will be happy to win 1 of 4 of them. Not going to get started on the 2 year old races again :evil:!

3 year olds. Really looking forward to the Sussex Stakes. I'm 0/6 in 1m G1 races (and 12/14 at every other distance in G1s). Really drives home how poorly the milers have run. Korobona (one of the new week 5 uploads) goes in this race and I'm hoping to win at least 1 G1 Mile race before the end of the season. Other hopes include Tatosi/Yima vying for their 3rd G1s of the season at the Belmont and KGVI QED stakes respectively. The other two week 5 transfers get outings and hopefully are off to winning starts like the other 3 transfers had in week 6.

Toyed with the idea of running Ruhanga in the 1m4f Gordon Stakes but pulled him as he'd have to carry 6lbs more as a G2 winner and that's probably a weight too far. Put it this way, if Yima (who goes best at 1m4f) can't win carrying 6lbs extra as a G1 winner in a G2 race, I don't see Ruhanga doing that when his best distance is 1m6f.

The heavy ground at Deauville is going to be a problem for most horses and I fancy Mikey's Bob Dylan to do well here. I suspect this race is going to throw up a surprise.

R1 - NUMERICAL - last 3 runs have been consistent at this sort of level, will prefer this drop back to 5f, and looking for a place run again.
R2 - YANGA MBIWA - came 5th in the Coventry, expect the same sort of performance here, he just falls in between group and nursery standard so it's hard to win a race with him.
R4 - HARPER - goes over 7f here, came 2nd to smart Elhayq in week 2, has been disappointing ever since, don't expect much here.
R6 - DAY DREAM BELIEVER - has been run some decent races in group company, mark of 93 looks very nice, over his best trip here and should go close.
R7 - FLYBEFOREUBUY- came 3rd in Cammidge in week 1, now off a great mark of 95 having previously been running off marks in the 100s. Big chance. NAP ALERT
R9 - GIULIETTA - waiting for the Sun Chariot with her, won the spring cup, could go close if she runs like that again.
R10 - GREAT BRITAIN - likely to be out of his depth here, but with a rating 110 I've got to run him somewhere.
R11 - PLATINUM - should be very competitive of this mark after running well in both guineas
R14 - PERSIAN - ran well in Irish oaks, 1m 6f suits her more, if she gets an easy lead she could get a place.
R15 - ONE OF A KIND - class filly, likes soft though, if she breaks well and gets to the front she will be thereabouts.
R18 - THEODORE - reminds me of youmzain this fella, he'll be going the fastest at the end, whether he gets there is another thing, needs a fast pace to have a chance, stays all day.
R21 - NUNTHORPE - gonna struggle in this race.
R25 - AVATAR - won over 7f last week, just as good over 6f. Should go close again.
R26 - ALLEZ LES BLEUS - off a nice mark, a number of others are as well though.
R27 - WALTZ - good handicapper, think his best trip is 6f though, and ran badly last time out.
R31 - OULAN BATOR - liked his run over 2m 1f, stays as far as the race allows him and can only run better over this longer distance

2 winners and 3 seconds this week. All handicaps races.

My new uploads were disapointing, had high hopes for them, but all placed midfield.

Overall, very pleased.

On holiday and the races come out by the time I'm up :). Nice way to start the day!

Image

8 wins from 14 entries this week including 2 G1s.

2 year olds first. Lassair again proving the best of the lot. Khamsin also won to make it a good week for the team.

3 year olds.

The Good.

Tatosi and Yima both on to 3 G1 wins with Tatosi a team leading 5/5 unbeaten in the league.

Anyigba and Suleviae continue the teams winning ways in their 2m and 1m6f races respectively. Again the team have won every race over 14f (6/6) we have contested.

Bragi won the eponymously named Ban AKHC maiden :) which brought a smile to my face. Domnu logged her second G3 victory and if not for Gerra running all the G1s I'm sure would have won a few herself.

The BAD

Arani came 2nd in her G1. Props to Joe for winning a second consecutive G1 with Starolema. I think both horses showed their class in this race. I can't imagine any other two horses in that race running from the starting positions they drew and and finishing in 1st and 2nd. Have a look at that race.. honestly one I'm proud of losing!

Manavi never got going in the 7f Lennox stakes and will run better races I'm sure.

The UGLY

Korobona in the Sussex Stakes. I know it's fashionable to blame the jockey but seriously.. after a good start to take the horse to the rear? And have the frontrunner open up a 5L lead? And expressly against race instructions. Speechless. Congrats to Mikey and Expelliamus for joining the multiple G1 winning horse club!

Nehebka running in the mud of Deauville. 6.5f in the game runs like 7f rather than a true sprint and we've struggled all season at 7/8f. The heavy going definitely didn't suit and it was a question of which horse would have to face this poisoned chalice. Congrats to Nashwan for a well deserved first G1 win (Qasser) though. Perseverance has paid off.

Nice week for me with
1 winner
2 seconds
3 fourths

Blazer Stallion won the Golden mile racing handy almost got caught on the line again like when she won the lincoln but very happy she won always racing handy..she has 2 wins out of 6 runs so really happy about that..

Top Bay finished 2nd in the Group 1 Belmont to Ahkc horse.. Very proud of her very consistent horse always in the top 5 in every race and they are mostly high grade races..if ahkc did not enter his horse in the belmont i would have won it :) he is unstoppable..

Congrats to all winners and placers and to the people who have run the races thanks..

Nah Keenan. You're just a little of the pace and I'm sure come next season be right up there. No one is unstoppable. Top Bay ran very well and sure breeding more champs from that horse!

I am using your guide for breeding with new horses starting out with max potential gamebreds so hoping to do a little better for next season.. Thanks for helping a lot of people like me with your guide..
I just got to find a way to play so5 because my wife saw me watching races today and started throwing things at my laptop luckily nothing got broken i just got my laptop fixed a few days ago because she broke my port to the ram memory by smashing the laptop with her fists..
Sadly i do not have Top Bay's ttf file or save file she was from a early game i started, i would have loved to breed the heck out of her..
