New Here

Just thought I'd drop a line and get to know the community, I am a nursing student, love horses, horse racing.. ect.. thought I'd try this out.
Still finding my way around, but so far I like it!

hi and welcome to our horse racing game community

Its nice to have you here. I am here to help if you need anything. We started a great refer a friend program today that can earn you 10,000 points for use in the store or to enter our tournaments (our horse racing tournaments will start in a week)

I have 1 question . I noticed that under your profile it shows no races run? Have you run any races before today? today?
thanks
Mike

I need to look into whay no races post in our horse racing game

I need to loo into it. It can be several issues off the bat . 1) your fire wall is not leting us transmit the data to the server 2) error on your program (our fault)
The races need to post so you can earn points . Points are the key to the kingdom. they get you into tournamnets and also can be used to get great stuff from our store . I may send you a PM so we can figure this out. we have seen this a few times before and what our users to have all the perks of the game .

New Also

Hello everyone. I just joined today. I've already tried racing four times and have not had a single show yet. I makes me so sad! Just kidding! I'm sure I'll get a hang of it soon. I am just so excited to have found this game online. I wish some video game company would make a newer horse racing game.

Anyway, I love horse racing! I've been to a racetrack in my home state only twice so far, but I plan to get there on July 10th. I can't wait! I was so excited to see that Kent Desormeaux (sorry if I misspelled the last name) is one of my buddies. I feel so honored.

Well, enough of my babbling. To sum it up, I love horse racing and I'm looking forward to learning a lot more. I want to own a race horse some day. I have to get through college first though.

horse racing game

I see that you are earning points from your horse racing game play so I would suspect you have figured out how to go from privite player to community player (where you earn points) . This horse racing community is very responsive to our horse game players questions .

Have fun racing in our virtual horse racing game and also be active in the horse racing community as well

Clueless

Hi everyone,
I am totally clueless here! Put me at the track I'm great, here, not so good. I just can't figure things out. So I'll just keep feeling my way...

Totally Lost

Hi, equinoxfarm -

Don't worry about it, it just requires a little reading. It appears you've run a couple of races, so you're doing something right. The best place to start is to get the game overview - go to Game & Community Info from the left-hand navigation menu and then click on Horse Racing Fantasy Game Overview. Then, we would suggest that you read Points, Badges & Awards, which will hep you further understand our game process. As you'll read, there are really two ways to play our game - in your own environment in Private mode where you can play with fantasy horses or you can purchase files of champion race horses from different eras and race them against each other either through a fictitious betting account to practice your betting strategies or as a jockey where you can ride the likes of Barbaro, Seabiscuit or many other champion race horses. If you want to go beyond the Private mode and interact with other horse game players and want to participate in our horse racing tournaments, then you will want to play the game in Community mode, where your stats and scores when racing as a jockey or bettor are shared with the community. I sent you a private message with more details, as well.

Hope you enjoy our horse racing game and our horse racing tournaments. If you need any other help, please ask our community of horse racing enthusiasts.

- Mommalee

just joined in

I've run four races and really enjoyed it. I was just in betting mode. Won one of my 7 bets. I live in Anderson, Indiana where we have a track that hosts both thoroughbred and standardbred racing. I love going to the track. I also write about it for the newspaper where I've worked for the past 25 years. I hope I can figure everything out and make more use of it in the future. I may join and become a VIP as well soon.

well, welcome to the

well, welcome to the community. Betting is fun but I enjoy the jockeying the best. I assume you are talking about Indiana Downs. Never been there but I do see TVG shows their races once in a while. Welcome again

actually....

I was referring to Hoosier Park. It is located in Anderson. Indiana Downs is in Shelbyville, about 45 minutes drive from here. I will try my hand at being a jockey soon.

you can bet anyway you want

you can bet anyway you want in private mode, but in community mode you can only bet win on horse you ride....to prohibit funny business is my guess. If you are betting only you can bet anyway you want in community mode
