Horse racing is one of the most ancient sports with the nomadic tribesmen of Central Asia racing horses since early domestication and horse racing has long been an organised sport in many countries throughout history.
Horse racing as a professional sport in the UK can be traced back to the 12th Century after the English knights returned from the Crusades with Arab horses. These horses were bred with English horses to produce the Thoroughbred horse that is the breed of horse used in horse racing in the UK today.
Horse racing is an equestrian sport which has been practiced over the centuries; the chariot races of Roman times are an early example, as is the contest of the steeds of the god Odin and the giant Hrungnir in Norse mythology. It is often inextricably associated with gambling. The common nickname for horse racing is The Sport of Kings.
Manage your virtual stable to compete against other stables in Thoroughbred or Quarter Horse racing. Choose your training schedules, what races your horses will compete in, and what jockeys will ride your horses to victory in a wide variety of races, including stakes, allowance, maiden, and claiming races. Breed your horses to try to produce that next great champion racehorse. Buy new horses at auction, through claiming races, and at liquidation sales. Wager on races, and manage your budget to create a winning stable.
This is a game for everyone, whether you have been involved with horses for a lifetime, are an avid racing fan, or even if you have never ridden a horse at all |
