New Player here - looking for horses & tips

Post by Willow Brook »

Hi y'all, I'm Willow, a new player! I used to play this game a bit in the past, but it was a few years ago and I never won anything. So, I only know the very basic mechanisms of this game.
I'm looking for some horses that will help me start being competitive. I'm also open for tips and advice, I especially would like some tips on how to determine a horse's potential racing or breeding value.

Check your PMs for a couple TP geldings and some pocket change. Also, I was serious about those Regina Moore articles. She really lays things out well and there is a ton of info in there.

Monday we start Week 13 of a 16 week game year. There will be special stakes races for new players at TP in Week 16, so maybe that is something to look forward to and point towards.

Here is a list of Regina Moore articles, very helpful to read through, some may be a little outdated now but you will still learn a lot.

Are you interested in any specific type of horses? Thoroughbreds? Stock breeds? Arabians? Routers, sprinters, milers?

I heard that thoroughbreds are the best breed to start from as a new player, so I'll probably be racing thoroughbreds mostly

TB's are the only breed to race at Trial Park which is why new players tend to prefer them.
