Ive ended up buying a horse, got a G2, but as id spent £13 I got a free G2 and a free G1.

The G1 is running 9 lengths ahead of the training horse at 50% fitness. so got a bit of hope in him.

Entered into a £1.30 race in an hour. See what happens. Then im just gonna train them all up.

My advice with betting is not to bet on anything where a computer is involved.

Did you just deposit £13? and you got a G1 and G2 horse?

Have you got 5 horses in your stables now?

Deposited £13 bought a g1, 2 3 horse for 13. That got graded at g2. Then I got a free g2 and g1.

So I have three new ones. Total of 5.

The g1 and g2 can only race in paid races so be warned it'll cost u.

Google shows lots of tips about time trial distances. And if the horse is gonna be good enough.

I've learnt loads from googling already. Time trials are critical.

You need to determine the exact track, distance and going that your horse is best at. Then only race in those races.

You need a very good horse to make any decent money. But it's possible to tick over with poorer horses.

Not on me ATM. Ill post links later.

You need to work through all race lengths and see what's best. If it improves by more lengths each time u know u can move up a length etc. then do the goings and see which suit it. Racing before knowing is pointless. Learnt that now I wasted a couple of quid

How have you managed to get the horses for £13 mate? Think i'm missing something here. I've gone through the market, sales ring and can only seem to buy a grade 1 horse for £16 and a grade 1, 2 or 3 for £9.75

2 x G3 horse when you join

Buy 1, 2 or 3 for £9.75. Include the supplementary fee as well which makes £13

Once done, you should see 5 horses in you stables

2 x G3

1 x G2

1 x G1

and the 1,2,3 horse you paid for

Found that out the hard way, but my G2 in a race, came last 7 lengths behind.

Does the horse get better with more training?

i.e. if i spend the next 2 weeks training for the ideal conditions will the horse win TT by bigger distance?

Is there a reason i've only ended up with 4 horses and not the fifth? Got my Grade2 but not my 1. Did you have to do anything else to receive it?

Deposited £13, bought my first horse which then credited me with the second horse. Do I have to use up the remaining money of my credit to be given my 5th horse?

I've entered the horse I bought into a race, 11pm tonight. It's a sprinter, been mainly doing TT at 1600m on firm ground and winning by about 9 lengths
