I think on the next version, tournaments should have its own section on the game and be set up to where all the participants in the tourney have to ride the same horses that the game picks for u in that tourney, it would make it tougher to win rather than just pick the fav everytime ......this could be set up by a random selection on the tournament section of the game...riding random horses in tourneys would also be a cool idea, u have to ride what the game gives u....not all jocks in real life get to ride whatever horse they want in the derby right?..ruffiano

that is a very nice idea

that is a very nice idea ruffiano.... much better if all the participants who join a particular tournament is choosing from one set of horses that are running only the depends to the player which horse he will choose to ride.

Thats the way the prebuit tournaments will work

The prebuilt tourny's work that way same horses for all the players. These are for VIP's and will start soon.If you are a VIP you will have access to that feature. All major horse racing tournaments let the players pick . For exaple the NTRA handicapping event that just ended in Las Vegas allows the bettors to pick more then 1/2 the races they want to bet on . The tournamnet structure will stay the way it is . The key is to pick your spots 1) do you fit this event? 2) am i a better player in PPS or most wins? 3) Should i play betting or Jockey?
Thanks for your feed back and hope to see you guys in the VIP events

It's fun

I like being able to pick my own horses and races in the tournaments. If you couldn't, what fun would that be? If it's a PPS tournament, people aren't going to pick the favorite all the time and then you really get tested to try and bring in a horse at decent odds.

gator

to me it would be more of a test for jockeys for random horses ....this would eliminate some setting up a race they cant lose most the time....ruffiano
