Subject: Horse Racing Game

lol 8-)

No 'plus' = no private forum.

Damn shame.

Not exactly expensive though, £12 for a year.

I've created a stakes race. A maiden for horses aged between 2 and 5 at my local track, East Lancashire Hills to be raced on Monday 5th January over 1,600m

A 60k purse with first place prize money of 26.6k.

I've sent two invites each to Dandy, Deezi, Gypsy King and myself. Anybody here also playing and wants an invite or two? let me know as i can give out a total of 15 invites. If any of the above want a third invite then also let me know.

Hope to see you all there :)

I won't be joining you, sorry mate. I promoted to Class 3 so I train on mondays now, and I also relocated to a competitive track in Australia so East Lancs is a fair hike away.

(I am so going to get my ass kicked down-under.)

i'll have at least 1 runner.

cheers ally

I will be accepting just as soon as I decide which horses will be fit and available.

Ive re-located to China.

For the exact opposite reason to Gypsie's re-location. Hopefully can progress quicker there and move back later.

Cost me a fortune initially as all my vets and trainers resigned.

I was torn between the two choices myself for a while Dandy, but the threat of boredom was always there if I took the more circuitous route. I've gone with a 'sink or swim' basis, or what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Your level 3 so thats a sensible option.

Being level 5 I need to get up 2 or 3 levels asap.

Think I might have to give it a miss. My experience medium runner is 6 now.

Not sure its worthwhile sending an inexperienced horse that far from my new base.

Might do a last minute thing yet.

So hows everyone doing now?

With the last round of league racing today i'm guarranteed a top 5 finish and will promote to level 3.

My 2 apprentices are coming along nicely and are as good as, or better than any pro jock that i've ever had.

I've also had a go at breeding, i had a stallion in my starting stable and he's matched up with my mare who ran 6th in the final of the class 4 classic. Stallion is a natural champion and the mare is a mudlark,Obedient and docile spirited,both have stats ranging from 10-13 in muscle tone, stamina and heart so i'm hoping for a fairly decent week 1 yearling.

Failed to get in top 5 Glasgow Class 2; but 4 horses coming along very nicely. Finances always tight.

finished 4th this season and will promote to class 3.

1 foal on the way with 2 50+ parents who both have Mudlark and Fast Finisher traits so hoping for a goodun.
