Hi Mike
1) to do a basic auction - click on your horse and it's info will come up. You'll see the letter 'A' click on that it will then take your horse to the next auction. Next to 'A' you can type in a reserve price first and then click 'A' - either way you will still get good coin for your horse.
2) this one took me a long while to work out too! - make sure you are in your 'training screen' then click the arrow in the top right corner. Find your horse that needs to be scratched - follow its name across to the furthest right - there is a brown 'box' - click on that - click on 'declarations' then click on the race entered then unbook the jockey and remove the horse.
3) yes, if you are playing owner/trainer in easy train mode. You can play as trainer only (from memory) and you become hands on with training each horse.
4) there are tonnes of tips lol
buy a few very cheap horses so you can breed and sell their 2yo's (to build a bank - and don't blow your bank early) the few good performers you have - race them in grades that they will win or at worse, place. once they have aged - breed with them and see how their offspring perform - either keep or sell AND never geld a colt or stallion.
Good luck and Good Racing!
ALSO click on the online league forum - as the online league has just started - you can click on links to watch the races being run each week and if it interests you, it will give you something to aim at for the following season
