I finally managed to get some decent game play in. The game gives you some real duds to start off with. I mean these horses just stink. Many restarts and the same thing. So I just auction them off and look for something at auction.

Almost everything at auction is god awful too. I did finally manage to snag a nice looking 3yo colt for 135k who went on to win 370k in prize money. Even better I took advantage of his low rating in handicaps to score mucho money in won bets. I turned 750k into 32 million! Done with the aid of only a couple of restarts.



He has a nice potential and battling qualities combination. Now to find good mares to breed him to and pray to the horse gods for something better.

Great to know there has been an overhaul of the very "realistic" betting side of the game..........

It would have been funny (and realistic) after you win a certain amount on your bets each season for the tinpot bookie.com to start restricting you to 2p & 5p bets.
