I am curious since the leagues are going to be under an umbrella is there a default # of weeks that should be planned and what week would Breeder's Cup fall on that schedule?

US Racing Schedule |

One of the things I have on my to do list is to build a schedule for the US Racing Association that mimics real life and gives special emphasis on the quest
for the Kentucky Derby and the Road to the Breeders Cup.

A typical race calendar consists of 17 weeks racing, with 22 races most week. 25 races the week of an upload window for new horses.
Breeders Cup appears on Week 16. If you want to mail me at colmodea@iol.ie - I can send you the season 8 schedule and a draft for the US calendar that we had worked on. Give you some ideas of the structure and different grades, and you could work from that, or try something new. Cheers.. Colm |

Here is the USRA, UKRA and the National Hunt Club sychronized race schedules that DownUnderStables (Dave Fuller) our new UKRA President compiled. You
will notice some races in the UK and US schedule are highlighted in green. These are the invitational events.
mtk76 you now have received the this directly from the SOPL Int President, but I want everyone to see the work that has been done on getting the schedules created for the three Racing Associations. And as Colm has told you, you are not stepping on anyone's toes in wanting to tweak the US schedule presented here. EXCEL SPREADSHEET .............. HTM SPREADSHEET

Just a quick note that The Woodward is no longer run at Belmont. It is now run at Saratoga.

Is the USRA schedule firm? Shouldn't the Breeder's Cup races reflect the actual races now? There are 14 of them now, I think. Since they are
International Races, having more of them would really make for a bang up finish to the season!

Beau talked to DownUnderStables, UKRA President that the creator of the new SOPL International schedule. Give him your imput.
Damn Beau! I have to say, you REALLY should be the USRA President. This is the very time that the USRA President should be appointed so he/she can be involved in formulating the USRA schedule into the SOPL International overall schedule. And you are just that type of person who could get it done. Any attraction to the position at all? No nevermind, you are just too busy with being President for the League of Champions. Any suggestions on who you think would be good for the position will be well received though.

Beau,
It is only a first draft. Dont know much about the US racing calendar apart from the schedule Jim put together for SO3. Chop and change by all means |

Ok. I'll take a closer look and make changes that I think would be of benefit to the USRA and SOPL International.

Ok. I've sent a copy of the schedule with my edited US version to Colm.
