Horses: Horses can be purchased from the salesring, claimers, auction or breeding.
Equipment: All new horses come with shoes, blinkers, tongue tie and cheekpieces. Once fitted these expire after 60 days. Shoes are always positive. Everything else can be positive, negative or neutral. Vitamins will restore up to 50% of a horse's fitness but will not exceed 100%. Gelding can be positive or neutral but never negative.
Training: Use to find going and distance preferences as well as preferred equipment. Horses will only improve on a going that they are regularly trained on.
Maturity: Horses will mature randomly in chunks of 5–10% growth. There is no automatic growth at age change.
XP: Stands for experience. This will grow after a set number of races in hand with grade of races entered.
Heart: This is a measure of how hard a horse will try in a race and has no impact on breeding potential.
Races: There will be a wide range of races available: Maiden, novice (0–3 wins), graduation (2–5 wins), A div (4–7 wins), B div (6–9 wins), C div (8-12 wins).
Finals take place 1 week before the season ends. World challenge day races (WFA) take place on the last day of the season.
There are no penalties for open races including qualifiers and finals. Handicap races run alongside open races.
If a horse is claimed, any future race entries (regardless of payment method) will be removed and refunded in cash.
WFA weights: 4+ = 11st 11lb, 3yo = 11st 5lb, 2yo = 10st 7lb.
Handicap penalties: +3lb for a win, +1lb for a place, -2lb for an unplaced run. Open races and maiden wins do not count toward penalties.
Race entry limits: Minimum 6 entrants from 3 different stables. Max 16 entrants. Max 3 per stable (except finals: 4).

Gameplay Hints: Salesring and Breeding will generally produce horses of a similar calibre, however grade S can only come from the salesring. The advantage of breeding is you have more control of a horses traits i.e going /distance pref etc as breeding follows the genetic traits of the lineage. All horses have ways of enhancing performance which can be deduced from the information given and analysis of race results.
