Welcome to all of our recently-hatched new stables! We all are rooting for you to learn the game.....but this is NOT a game that can be learned overnight. TAKE ALL ADVICE, FREEBIES, User Guides, and ANY other materials, breeds, horses, etc... that the veterans offer you...It's how most of us shortened our learning curve when we started!
This game is complicated, and THAT is what makes it so fun....It is the BEST and CLOSEST thing to REAL thoroughbred ownership you will find online....... Do not EVER give up......just take everything in stride, and learn learn learn!
Myself, just PM me and I will sell you a horse or breed to some of the best all time bloodlines (Light Show, Coach Don, Troll Cody, Ava Maria, Bond Holder, Halo Reach, etc....
Learn the following things and use them as the MOST important components:
1. Finding workout times that are competitive, and then slotting your horse in the proper race class, distance, and condition.
2. Use the correct jockey and jockey instructions, based on your horse's workout splits/fractions. Using PUSH is COOL to see your horse go to the lead, but if it is the wrong option, you will FADE quickly!
3. Doing the same from #2 based on your post gate draw. Post 1 and Post 3 for instance typically require different jockey instructions in sprints.
4. Think Long and Short term.... i.e., don't automatically GELD every colt to get better times.....you want to build for today AND tomorrow. You can't breed a Gelding
!
5. MOST IMPORTANTLY - Claim a BUNCH of horses from different conditions.... Claim a $3k sprinter 2 yr old. Also claim a 3 yr old, and an older sprinter. THEN, claim longer routers. Check the workout history. If you REALLY want a lesson, claim 1-2 $30k-$49k type horses if you can afford it (ONLY colts and fillies, geldings won't net you the breeding luxury), they usually can supply you with a TON of valuable information, from breeding bloodlines, to the owners distance, jockey instructions, jockey selections, etc...
If you need a horse, or a specific type of breed, again PM me and I am happy to help. I am not the best guy for producing a User Guide, consistent strategy, etc..... as other members are MUCH more consistent and level. Get into the forums, the chat, and the user guides....Immerse yourself, and you will quickly learn a a new nugget or 2 every time you jump in!
Best of luck,
Orb Farms
