Welcome aboard new trainers and good luck. Looking at the schedule I noticed a lot more 2yo races than last season. Maybe some easy spots for picking there. My spruced up and simplified easier to read schedule can be found here...http://www.startersorders.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8854

My approach is to have some horses who excel at 5/6 - 7/8 - 9/10 furlongs for each age group. I have some older horses for 11/12 furlongs too but being as my horses are bred for the American schedule I am at a disadvantage there against the Euro trainers.

I try to have equal parts male to female but the talent level usually decides that. I've split my twenty horses this way - 7 2yo's / 5 3yo's / 8 4up's.

Oh yeah if you have one race you really want to win maybe a classic or a local race that's personal to you trial your prospective horses at that race's racetrack and at that particular race condition. You might find you have a killer at that special race and you just might spring a big surprise come race day.

One more thing If you have a top soft course performer - use it. They seem to have a huge advantage on soft courses against the rest.

Sirius I am having real trouble getting my silks sorted I would be very grateful if someone could do this for me so I can get started I have tried and I cannot seem to get it to work but as I said before I am not exactly computer friendly lol many thanks

One question is the dealine for week one, midnight tonighht or midnight just gone?

tonight

you can still upload until next week though

so we have got to wait to be activated by leon then yes and can do nothing in between ?

Have you tried uploading horses and entering races

ive got 6 horses uploaded but my stable doesn't appear to be active and I am having trouble with the silks I saw a post that siriuschill helped some do there silks and am waiting to hear back if I can be as lucky. is a struggle for me getting set as I am a real techno idiot lol

Your stable is active now and your silks are showing. You just need to edit it to display some other details like your name.

Go to NH Stable and click on the edit icon

brilliant thanks leon I am chuffed to bits cheers

sorry guys just a quickie then I will stop bugging u all but do u have to make multiple entries for horses weeks in advance or can I just enter each week as I see fit ?

You can do either. Usually best to do it each week, especially handicaps but sometimes with holidays or other commitments you have do a couple in advance.
