I think starters orders needs to dump the greyhound game and add a harness racing game... what do you think??

I have puchased both games from Mark...He is a good man !

I'm sure plenty of people like the greyhound game although i dont have it if there was a league for it i might buy it

watched harness racing once never again
like watching highway robber dick turpin been chased by the sheriff

live or on tv? Seen a couple of races including under saddle when I've been trawling the net for French jump racing- it's dire. So slow and boring I don't understand why it's such a big sport.

not live thank god would of ended up in the bar getting drunk was on atr once that was enough
it must be the lowest form of racing in the world

i dont want to critsize it because some people love it but not for me

Some Tbred races are .58 seconds then you have to wait 25min between races... THATS BORING !! harness races are exciting and only take 11-15min between races. The time between races is hurting Tbred racing. People want action ~~ slot machines are FAST !!

I want Mark to be the first person to create a good harness game... Horse racing manager from france sucks !!


Cheers from USA !

Think you've got a problem if you think slot machines are horse racing

LOL Neves...was just making the point gamblers want fast action... slot machines are a quick fix... Horse race gamblers want less time between races... thats why they bet several tracks at a time. I do not like live Tbred racing because of the extended time between races. I love the sport....but I think Harness has a advantage because they can get off races quicker . IMO

Great debate chaps !!

based on your theory that only the time between races counts and not the actual spectacle itself, why is gambling not purely about drops of rain running down a window?

If harness races were only a minute apart they would still be boring. If horse races were an hour apart, the races themselves would still be exciting. It's excitement people want, adrenalin not sleep inducing harness racing.

I think I hit a nerve.... lol I am not arguing the excitement of the triple crown races here in america... I am talking about the regular races run at the tracks in america. Too much time between races. Attendance is horrible.... Casinos are packed... because of the fast action !! I do not let my love for the sport of horse racing blind me from seeing that gamblers want fast action ... Not 30 min beteen races.

Cheers !

Gamblers love gambling for the gambling, or are at least addicted to it. people don't necessarily follow horses racing for the gambling. Not everyone who watches racing has a bet, I think you have the misconception that horse racing is purely about gambling, whereas it's not. As for hitting a nerve, you couldn't be further from the truth, i just don't like misconception being posted as truth.

People that just watch horse racing and do not bet do not pay the bills for the track. I think you are talking about petting zoos. I am saying that the trend in horse racing is speed and action. Having long periods of time between races is hurting the sport. I understand that horse racing is beautiful and rich in history... unfortunately... that does not pay the bills.... Too many horse tracks are becoming shopping malls or casinos. People want ACTION !! not 25 min between races. Yes I hit a nerve... hehe

Harness racing compared to thoroughbred racing is like watching speed walking compared to men's 100m final. I think you have a misconception that everyone who places a bet is a gambling addict( at least its not like that over here). People have to pay get in do the betting paying the bills is rubbish- most of it goes to the bookies. Over here we have enough patience and a long enough attention span to wait 30 minutes between races. Why not have f1 cars go 4 times slower- that'll cut the time between races and I can definitely say for myself I would find that more exciting than full speed f1. Also have a race every 5 minutes is pointless- for a start you wouldn't be able to place bets in time if there is a queue, can't get a drink, and you wouldn't be able to watch every race on the tv. Over here we can gamble off course so te gamblers all just stay at home.

I agree Americans have little patience. And maybe more competition for gambling dollars... I am someone who likes Tbreds and Trotters... I think the trotters are more exciting and I love that they have less time between races. Try playing starters orders with 20 min between races.... hehe

Try playing it with 10 between races, both would be boring.
