SOPL Info

Before uploading any horses for the league, please note the following:

• Horse files entered into the league must be the original horse files. They can't be renamed clones.
• You can only upload a horse once per season and in only one league
  • If you upload it at 2yo, then it must finish the current season as a 2yo.  You can use the same horse the following season, but it must be uploaded using the 3yo file.
• All new horses should be uploaded with a rating of 51.  The section below will explain how to do this.
• If you are uploading a horse that's returning from a previous season, upload it at the appropriate age, and reset it's handicap to the rating it last ran at in the league.
