Does everybody just kill there green restricted horse after the first month because it seems virtual impossible for a green horse to pay for itself unless it wins a tournament every month. Thats just to break even. I don't always have 4 hours a day to win 6000 points in jockey mode. Just venting before I send half of my horses to slaughter. I think the breakdown should be based off of birth rating for stable fees. I am sure in real life the better the horse the more it cost to take care of them.

4 HRS A Day??

Just press F4 during the race and it will make that 4 hrs go down to 1 hr. for your 6000 FREE points a day

You know what else is to high?

That stack of promises HRF gives to release things. There going to have to hire someone to remove all those piles of promises and dispose of them and hope after some time everybody will forget about all the promises they made but never kept.

I'm sure you know, but i'll correct for others....

You get 1000 points per day free from playing. the 5000 other points comes from vip membership which costs you .33 cents per day :-)

Just to clear up that

Just to clear up that misconception, it's cost just as much, dollar for dollar, to have a cheap horse or a stakes horse IRL. Now, if you want to argue that more money will be spent on the better horse, that may well be true, but that would be by choice. Not because anybody has to.

And I agree. The stable fees here are a bit stiff.

stable cost

It would be nice to have reduced fee's for "lesser" horses though, i must agree.

Having to post 850 times per horse is overwhelming :-)

Agree 100% hard to keep alot

Agree 100% hard to keep alot of horses when the fees are so steep and most of your stable doesn't pay for themselves, I guess that's how the can get their cash from though. I have retired alot of green horses just for this reason.

Wouldn't it be incentive to

Wouldn't it be incentive to keep your account if they allowed 1 horse to stable for free? That way any new players who quit/didnt enjoy at first could come back to a horse? (which would increase the possibility of this person paying for vip/buying points 1000%, since normally I doubt you would ever come back to zero points/no horse)

Just a thought - What do I know!? I've only been gaming for 30 years.........

Good idea

I agree with that, although I haven't been playing for long I think about that stable fees all the time and I keep wondering how am I going to pay it if I don't win some points.

yes

lower bsr should pay lower stable fees if only because they earn less when they win :)
