Not sure if I understand - but they are in real time.

Can see the days on the homepage...Day1 Monday thru day 7 Sunday.

If you put your real time zones, the races will be displayed in your time, so in the US Some Thoroughbreds are at day 5 Friday so 1-5 and then the time would be 11PM eatern to 8PM pacific...

Maybe this helps

* get more horses - run them at Trial park - make some money while you can! Then get rid of all your DR after trial park and find another division ;)

Thank you John for your support. all 5 of my horses have fairly normal times in that case , 2 fairly good, but long way to go with training them.
my free horse that i got when starting yesterday is on its way to trial park, i made a novice mistake and had to scratch and she's on her way back to have her first race in around 4 days lol . anyway nice speaking to you.

It's a lot and takes a while to get started - hand in there...biggest reminder I think is that they need 2 weeks at least between races (no activity)

make sure distance (usually can tell from mom) and surface are correct...then good luck!

Thanks for your help i,ve read a lot and took your advice and bought 12 horses total, thats plenty for me just starting, i bought a lot of 2yo's from various breeders ( stables) in the game, some have good times should win racing with patience.
yeah my free horse was a turf horse by galileo, i know a lot about that boy anyway, turf horse, won on most goings; the others i cheched mummy and daddy etc for a good starting point a couple are unfit; needs training more; and i'm guessing some i bought i cant race until week number 8 ? state breds possibly; as i cannot enter them. i sent a question my first to the stewards on that subject. cheers again; successful racing to you.

IN each horse's "card" you will see "find races for this horse" you can only enter horses two weeks from today. Also, if your horses are NOT named you can not enter the horse and should see "horse needs a name before it can be entered"

When you get to race screen, filter for "New Player" in the state bred racing field, it should show you all the races your horse can enter.

You can also go to search page and find the track (new players or trial park) it will show all the available races

Hi Stephen, to help answer your question first check out the top workout times. Go to the Manage tab at the top then select Workout Times, under the rankings heading. For real life, just check the times of some of your favorite races. With a little bit of work, you should be able to find an answer to your question.

Hey Stephen, the sim computations have always had trouble with chasers. I can recall a time when almost every chaser ran a 100 speed figure. I wouldn't worry too much about the times, there is something here for people that like all types of horse racing.
