#STARTERS ORDERS 6 EASY VS HARD UPGRADE#

Once you have enough to start breeding, you will be able to race and sell some good horses for decent cash. Very few stables are making massive amounts of money most seasons. It can be a long slog doing this, but it's very realistic as there are very few horses that win race after race in real life. As long as the place money covers travel, entry fee and jockey with a bit profit, then you are doing ok. I know that sounds ridiculous, but if you have a few horses that can consistently get 'placed' with the odd win thrown into the mix you will definitely make a bit of cash on each race day.

Tom Landry, Coach of the Dallas Cowboys 40 years ago, traded a player away at age 24 if they weren't a starter.

If their cap is one of your four or five best, and they can reasonably be expected to generate 4k+ per month, then keep themĥ) ALWAYS have a full stable, and look to continually upgrade your overall ratings. Race them every three weeks, let their rating get better, and if they cap out poorly, sell them for a nice profit. By under-valued, I mean that their only race, or two, were not at a preferred distance, or the track was muddy, or any number of things that would make the race not representative of the horses true abilityģ) Don't spend a ton of money at the auctions.you can get very, VERY lucky with just a 5k investment, and get a very sweet return, if you find a good horseĤ) A good horse is a horse whose potential is 50% or more.in my opinion. Here's what I have found.my experience only!Ģ) Look for 2 year olds that appear to be under-valued. There is a button on the main horse screen which puts them in the next auction.Ħ) Don't get too attached to a horse.if you are down to nothing for money, selling a good horse may get you 200k or more.enough to last a year, if you're carefulġ) I have had some success here, and a couple of utter failures. Horses with a high potential will get better quickly, and you may be able to generate revenue through racing with them.ĥ) Terrible horses need to be sold, immediately. The key here appears to be the potential bar. If your horse has a rating of '70', then a race where the top rating (cap) of 75 might be a good fit.Ĥ) At the games startup, look at your horses, critically. A horse that likes 1m2f might do well at 1m1f, or 1m3f, but not at five furlongs.ģ) Look at the other horses' ratings when evaluating whether to put your horse in that race. Look at your horses preferred running distance, and filter the available races to distances around that number. This may be the single most important thing that I can pass on to you. There are a couple of ways to do this:ġ) Race your horses about every three weeks to a monthĢ) IMPORTANT - Pick your races wisely. This upkeep will kill you, over time, unless you generate some revenue. I estimate that it takes about a thousand dollars per week, per horse.

Invest in two small horse trailers, to move your horses to and from the races. Let's plays on normal are frustrating to watch.

Start on easy mode, until you learn the game. This is cheating.but if you're stuck, it's a way to get some cash. No better way to lose than to blow your cash, unless you want to save, watch a race, control-alt-del out to your prior save, reload, and bet the farm on the result. This is for reason number two, below:įirst.don't do anything crazy, like betting. Money in the bank, and five good horses (relatively), all above 90 rating. I am in hour three of my first game, and doing just fine.
