hi guys first time player . how do i scratch a horse from a race?

Hi and welcome, - go to Decs screen, click on the red button to highlight that horse on the right of the screen click on declarations and a list of his races should come up, click on the race you want and 'Remove horse' should be available, click it and thats it.

hope that makes sense

Click on the training tab - then click on the arrow or X in the top right corner - then find your horse then click on the box to the right of it's name - then centre right of the screen click the drop down race tab then click on the race then remove jockey and remove horse.
