Owning A Racetrack
Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2017 2:23 pm
Want to own your own racetrack? Starting Year 49, you will be able to create your own, and card your own races!
Racetracks cost 215,000 Game Points per year. If you renew them over the break, all the races will be carded again for the following year, and you could edit them as you see fit.
First, select a racetrack name and location (longitude and latitude). Then select one breed or surface specialist (Steeplechasing, All Weather, Quarter Horses/Arabs/Appys/Paints, Standardbreds (both trotters and pacers), or regular flat Thoroughbreds on dirt and turf, etc). Each week, you can card the following:
2 maiden claiming/claiming races
4 maiden special weight, allowance, or non winners races
ONE stakes race. You can have two grade 3’s, two grade 2’s, and two grade 1’s per year. The other ten weeks must be a listed level stakes race of $75,000. Non-graded stakes or other races can be stakes restricted. The total value of these races over the year is 274,000 game points, so you will save 59,000 game points on them each year. In addition, you can use any additional game points to sponsor more races at your own track as per regular rules (racetracks you own don’t count towards races sponsored that week).
Just like farms, you will set and receive your own board at the tracks you own. Because this is the first year we are doing this, if you decide to buy, please send your list of races in chunks to the Steward (you don’t have to card all 16 weeks in one sitting), who will card them for you on the game. If this is successful, we will build an automated system over year 49 for Year 50.
To buy a racetrack, please message the Steward with your track name, location, and track type, as well as board price. Then you will be underway!
To RENEW your racetrack, go to My Office tab, then Farms/Tracks, and follow the renewal procedure from there. If you decide not to renew your track, the races and track itself become property of SIMHorseRacing and we can run those races in subsequent years or sell them to other players.
