Unraced horses can now enter group 2/3's. They are not able to enter group 1's. Be warned though they will get really high handicap marks if they do run in these races first time out even if they finish last

Leon why have the rules changed
You told me i could not load horses & put them straight in group races but now 2 trainers come in & the rules have changed

As far am im concerned the rules are the same as last season and were never changed. But if its going to cause problems, hasn't affected anyone as any trainer could enter an unraced horse in Group races in week 1, then scrap this.

i asked Leon about it & he said i cant i was going to upload a horse for the craven
Now the rules have changed again in the last day or so
It don't matter i just wanted to know why its changed
Sorry Leon i forgot about wk 1
Welcome back Matt its a good job your brain is working

In the winter derby thread I posted that it might change a few days back asking if there were any objections. I figured out a way to move the race codes which was creating the issue for eligible horses If you want let me know the horse and I can delete it from the database so you can upload the one you wanted.

Going forward it is the better solution especially if we get trainers joining in week 5 which might happen and usually does happen as there race options would have been very restricted.

Also it brings the flat in line with NH which already allowed entries into group 2/3's

Cheers Leon
I will leave it as it is saves all the hassle
Sorry about mate

Have we got rules now on the h'cap group 1 races.

Gray wants 3 starts so we will go with that and I will program it in.

grand job think its only fair and avoids any future aggravations
