New player here on the IOS version. Just wondering if anyone has any advice on what to do in the first couple of virtual years and how to build up decent amounts of cash, which is where I'm struggling atm.

Thanks

The sorta cheating method - Sell your beginner horses and then save. Cash a bet. Watch the races on a day or look at the results. Close the game via alt+ctrl+dlt and then reload the game and place a huge bet on the right horses. I recently cashed a 158 million dollar bet. It was gone in three years breeding to a 6 million dollar sire.

The honest method - Sell all of your beginner horses at auction. Don't go to the auction, just skip a day. You'll get more for your horses. Then with your big wad of cash go to the auction at the end of each day and all of the special auctions and look for impressive winners.

Maybe one of your starter horses has great potential? Keep it and race it. If you can manage a group placing or better yet a group win they'll be worth a lot of money at auction.

That's pretty concise, I like it, but if you do go to the auction bid them up a little. If you take the betting option go for a Straight Forecast on a couple of outsiders.
