Man, I just have to say......

The blocking that goes on in a race is crazy, I thought blocking was against the rules in real racing...I mean the horse on the rail coming all the way out to the 6 th or even 7th hole just to block you so you cant win is so goofy looking, I guess tho in this game , there has to be some sort of difficulty thats against the real racing aspects to keep it challenging, just frustarting sometimes lol :).....Ruffiano

I know this is an issue that people. But i am one who does not think this is an issue at all and very realistic. I know I am not going to change your mind but I only see blocking occasionally when I am on the rail...this happens in real life. I respect you thoughts but just dont see it. (though it seems more people agree with you then me)

Blocking

I Know what you mean. I've had horse's thst I could have won with but it seemed that no matter what I did I got Blocked out. Oh well it's fun anyway's. You should see me yelling at the horse to get out of the way. LOL

blocking

you must be blind if you dont see it. youre horse is targeted from the minute the gate opens. you will be blocked, cut off and floated wider and wider for no reason. the other horses are sacrificing thier chances to make sure you dont win ,even if you are riding a 50-1 shot.all i want in a game is realism and a challenge. i hope its more realistic and formful playing with real horses. i hope to find this out when the 70s are ready but hopefully not in 2070---more like any day now.

haha Cowboy and qwerty.....

Its very frustrating I know , like I said earlier, you can be on the rail, float out to get around a horse in front of you, and he will go as wide as you do, probably into the seats where the people are sitting if you could go that far lol...but saying that, it would not probably be fun if that didnt happen, because, your horse would always win when riding a favorite, or a close to favorite.....that really is the only thing that beats me in any race, blocking, and Cowboy, lol...I know what you mean on yelling move!!!! or get out of the way!!!!...my gf yells for me to shut up half the time, I know Im probably annoying to her when I play this game!!! lol Im very verbal...hehe..Ruffiano
