Drew a blank winners wise for the first time in jumps this season
2 x 2nds
1 x 3rd

11 PWC Chase Songo Congo
Jumped very scrappy and cost her any chance of being placed poor run from her expected big things this week
Well done to Nashwan Nice winner

13 Munster National Becca Di Maria
Another poor run from Becca she is much better than that

14 Nass Open NHF Race Urban Myth
3rd starting to loose faith in U.M needs to bag a win or its back to breeding for me

15 Tipper Road Listed Hurdle Wonga
2nd another decent run from wonga form reads 2,1,2 happy with her Aintree Hurdle still the target

16 Jnwine.com Champion Chase Diving Board
2nd lost his unbeaten record which is always sad but very hard to keep a horse unbeaten in the lge
its so competitive another impressive winner for Ghost

19 Moores Millions Stayers Leg 3 Maria Sherrapova
faded again stays 3miles 5 well in my ck but faded twice in 2 runs now have to say very disappointed with my staying division
right now poor so far (blank day for me in jumps)

R11 Dusty Tools (2nd) - ran well again but winner was too good.
R13 Sculpture (4th) - better effort this week off bottom weight. trialed well in the ck but has underperformed massively so far. might try her over an extra 2f next time and see if that helps.
R14 Saverok (1st) - under pressure a long way out and did well to get the better of Jamie's horse in the last furlong.
R15 Night Nurse (3rd) - solid effort again but winner and runner-up were too good.
R16 Topper (4th) - trip was on the sharp side and was never nearer than at the finish.
R17 Run Amok (7th) - was giving away lumps of weight over a trip that was short of his best and he didn't jump well either. will have better days.
R19 Wonderland - (last) big weight and hated the track. beaten with 2 circuits to run.

well done all winners and placers.

One horse saved my day.

Contradeal 0, no idea how this thing got in my team, possibly the worst horse I've ever had.
Sidbury Hill 0, very poor but will run better on soft ground.
His Song 3rd, jumped poorly, will need to jump better.
Miss Academy 2nd, another nice run.
Flaked Oats 3rd, she's been rather disappointing.
Couldn't be better 1st, jumped poorly and was a long way last going into the final mile but some how won. He's got his dads/Lo Stregone's ability but not his jumping ability.

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to Davy for the comms on the jump races.

Suit and Tie (3rd) - Good run from the front runner but could not live with Leon's horses acceleration
Sepang (10th) - A couple of early mistakes caused the front runner to lose his vital lead
Westmoreland Road (10th) - A moderate bumper horse
Prince Lune (UR) - Unseated a mile from home
Call The Police (12th) - Was never going to be good enough. Couldn't be better looks an awesome horse!
Estoril (4th) - Disappointed not to finish closer to the winner. Too many slow jumps and was challenged for the lead early on
Sky Ferreira (PU) - Injured halfway round, hope she's ok for next week :wink:
Sexual Healing (3rd) - Fantastic run in the Moores Millions, thought he may even win at one point. Delighted with that

Much better day than yesterday with 3 making the money

Well done to the winners and placers today

Very mixed bag today.

Hill Trix 2nd, her jumping was awful. Moving her on in the window.
Dawn Run 4th, disappointing perhaps that's as good as she is.
City Hall 6th, to much weight.
Mass Appeal 5th, poor effort.
Gaye Brief 2nd, another great run keeps bumping into Leon's horses.
Lo Stregone 1st, probably lucky but will come back to run in the French Gold Cup his big target.

T C Flyer (8th) - Beat quite a few but still tailed off
Ibiza (4th) - Loved the bottomless ground and stayed on fairly well
Lunigan (5th) - Decent run on unfavoured heavy ground
Zod (5th) - Enjoyed the heavy ground, excellent 5th
Lundos (8th) - Looked good to get in the money before faded in the disliked heavy ground
Agage (5th) - A mistake 4 out put him on the back foot but recovered well to get in the money. Well done Ghost on your big win
Day Trip (5th) - Challenged too late, bitterly disappointing
Zod Sterling (7th) - A decent run, promise of more to come
Turning Up The Heat (3rd) - Another good run, hopefully he will remain well handicapped

Normally I would be delighted having 6 in the money but Agage and Day Trip especially could have finished much higher. Missed out the big Auteuil prize money but the start of the season has been good.

Thanks to the team for the sterling work as always

R21 Blu Sky (5th) - trip was too short. ran on from the last to pick up some prize money.
R25 Oblivious (3rd) - another solid effort. winner was too good.
R26 Time Charter (3rd) - very pleasing chase debut. wants better ground and should improve for another 1f.
R27 Flakey Dove (1st) - disappointed on debut. step up in trip today suited and won well.
R28 Top Of The World (7th) - mistake at the last didn't help but never got competitive.
R29 Tobermory (6th) - good run. didn't quite see out the trip on the heavy ground.
R31 A Deeper Blue (2nd) - great effort. couldn't quite peg back Leon's winner.
R32 Sea Shanty (1st) - I thought she would win last week off bottom weight but made amends this time.

well done to all winners and placers.

Had another couple of placings this week. National Rose gave me another placing in a Group race which gives me hope I can compete in the jumps league. Cant wait to run in the Grand National - I now understand all the excitement over this race and I've got the bug. :shock: National Rose's dam is a 2 time winner of the Grand National and she has won it once.

Quiet Please put away all challengers to head for victory - that is until Ghostzapper's Rig Steel lifted up and snatched victory from me in the final strides. :cry: My first jumps victory can't be too far off.

Congrats all for another fine week in racing.

U joined at the hardest point, the jump horses are jacked. I'd say enjoy this season ( learning curve) and start a fresh when the new game comes out in two months. I'm a late starter but in 6 months I've played 800 hours+ of game play. Remember some of the older plays have played this game for a year and a half.

At this stage it's time to work out u best horses and bred with them, limit it to a certain distance and hurdlers/chasers. If I was u I'd race through ten season's picking out the best horses at the sales and seeing if u cant find a gem, always one in there. Also race through season's and see what's in the breeding barn, u can find some decent horses over jumps that can help. If u find one decent game bred jumps horse save the season and keep breeding with it, also bred u best hurdlers mares with the best hurdlers colts and the same with the chasers.

Here's a brake down of what age a horses best distance is( mine are quick maturing horses) so u might be different.

4-5yo --2 Mile hurdlers
5yo -- 2 and half mile hurdlers
5yo -- 3 mile hurdlers
5yo -- 2 mile chasers
5yo -- 2 and half mile Chaser
6yo -- 3 mile chasers
6yo -- 3 mile 4 furlongs
7yo+ -- 4 miles +

If u think a horse is not going to get full potential don't both racing them, and just run them 2 or 3 times a season. Get them in and out and I always save them on the first day in the year. Make sure they are fit when u download them.
