Hi to everyone

Post by Trent Mcevoy »

Hi there. As suggested I am just posting here to say hello to all.

As most likely many others I enjoy horse racing IRL. I stumbled across this site by accident when searching for a game to play on my phone to combat some boredom but it looks and reads "way" more advanced than just a phone app.

Living in Australia the majority of my exposure has been to turf racing based here but I am often up late watching the European Group racing carnivals when they are on.

I have spent the last few hours reading and looking around the site and am just having a little break before reading more (so much more).

Looking forward to racing at the Trial newbie track once I think I wont break anything.

Trent, who are your favorite horses IRL?

Readings only the number 2 rule of the game. Patience is number one. There’s some good video tutorials in the forums here too.

Welcome, Trent. There are some other Australians here so you're in good company :D.

Along with reading (Regina Moore's articles are the greatest!), sign up for a mentor. Just send a PM to the "Mentor Program" with your timezone and the divisions you want to race in, and they'll get you set up.
