Great day for me on flat with

2 winners
1 3rd

Envy Knighting won race 24 6f 2yo maiden but was a very close race J Harrison's horse losing by a nose.. Earlier in the race his horse was in the lead and mine finally caught up to him and caught him on the line very exciting race..

Blazer Ebony Mate won race 25 6f 3+ HCP this is a back 2 back win for him because he also won a 6f HCP last week.. I am very happy for him winning this sprint race by 4 1/2 lengths coming off of middle weight.. Please handicapper go easy on him he is the best horse I got..lol

Very happy to get some wins on the Flat which is very hard..

Congrats all winners and placers

Sorry Keenan hes gone up from 79 to 86 41/2 lengths in a handicap

Ah man oh well at least I can still enter the 0-90s but at a heavier weight im afraid of going up to 110 hcp races because there are very good horses in those races.. I was too Simpleminds when I saw that race.. lol..

R21 Wild Blue Yonder (11th) - drawn wide and never went a yard.
R22 Ned Kelly (4th) - didn't look like he was going to get a run for a while so did well to finish 4th.
R23 Mr Kipling (5th) - ran ok. beaten by better horses.
R24 Gold Chain (3rd) - solid effort from a very ordinary horse.
R26 Dust Devil (9th) - drawn wide and never got involved.
R29 Madness (10th) - hopeless yet again.

well done to all winners and placers.

Only two runners for me.

Sumoto 3rd again, loves that place.
Inhisglory 1st, how does he do it, races at the back and always finds ways to get through. He continues to amaze me.

Handicap ratings updated ahead of week 10.

god knows how i bred a grand national horse hit lucky i guess
Building a flat & jumps team for next season
i have noticed that my flat stayers 2 mile horses 2m4 horses are transferring into jumps game
as 2m & 2m4 nh horses so breeding any stayer looks tough unless you find decent gamebred stayers
i remember 2m4 horses transferring in as 3m4 nh horses has anything changed since patch
nh stayers were never my strong point though

Yesterdays results
Zeltweg (13th) - He gave me the Craven win so he can do what he wants now
Sakhir (14th) - Could never get into it
Plug Me In (13th) - Actually beat 2 home
Untouchable (8th) - Just not a league horse
King Louie (11th) - Another shocker from him this week
Anouchka Cherie (2nd) - Excellent run albeit in a low grade

Thanks to everyone involved with running the league

Paul i thought u was not breeding just having handicappers from last seasons left overs
Everyone else can breed like crazy u will still win group races mate

i Have almost finished have 90% of my team done Nashwan for the flat anyway
& will trial the cast offs for NHC
just 1 generation of new breds from the best of this seasons lot at each distance
looking for types that like to take it up in slow run races and have found a few at each distance
that are better than what i had this season already did alot for the window
just have to find a leger horse and 2 sprinters and im done not going through
countless seasons trying to beat times anymore
in the last week i have filled 9 distances doing it this way dont even look at times anymore
just looking for horses that get a lead and hold on in at the end in the CK kind of handy types
obviously this wont work with sprinters but will just breed a few gens of our henry who has shocked me this season
dont think i can even get near your or Jalupens sprinters and not going to spend the time trying will take til next xmas

Paul do breed any pure jump breds then. Or are they just flat cast offs. I wonder how many people breed that way, I know this season they are mostly 80% jump breds from me and next season hopefully 100%. I like to have split breeding barns. I know it takes longer that way.

Next season will be interesting because everyone might end up with the same type of horses, handy types( they are best for the league). I've got to admit that I've not 100% decided what way to go, pick them types of horses or just go with the best and hope for the best.

I've got a horse Called Reference Point ( runs like his name sake) who I bred in August and that is 110% type of horse u want but do I pick him or do I pick the winner of my trails( whoever that is going to be). I don't know yet.
My first set of flat trials is this weekend( got to many horses in my barn), I've got about 40 in each category so I want to get it down to about 12 in each one. Then i'm going to start my jumps program and then at the end of that do a little more flat before the finish.

My horses bars seem to have improved but i'm not convinced the horses have improved. I think my breedings been a little disappointing so far.

I hope in So6 that the jump bars mean more, they are almost irrelevant in this game.

id say over past 3 seasons of the lge 95 % of my time has been spent on flat team and 5 % breeding a few jumps horses

this season i trialed flat cast offs against my best former lge NHC horses to guide me to which are going to make good
NHC breeders then i breed jumps horses from them but spend a fraction of the time i spent on flat team
maybe a few generations i find that flat cast off make great lge NHC horses but only up to 2m5
i really struggle to find decent stayers out of the cast offs

i bred a grand national horse too thats not far off impossible

You need to alter your schedule Paul if you want good staying grand national horse's
And Flat Schedule if you want Gold Cup Horses

If i do breed some horses it will only be to get some 2yo's i like my 2yo's more than any other horses
I hate breeding horses over 1m2 thats why i never win races above 1m2
