Post Not enough US races for c7 c6 c5 c4 c3
I just think it's too hard to find races that cheaper horses can compete. low level handicap racing...not enough c7 c6 c5 races for the different lenghts of racing...IMO .. I have to race my horse out of range to find the right lenght race ...

Do you think there is enough low level races? I find myself putting my horses out of distance because there is not enough races available... especially 1m3 1m2 1m4

thanks for replying...

Thank you... I really enjoy the game... But its frustrating to enjoy the game without having a zillion dollars to win every race out there... But its nice to see they might be adding more low level races to the american game...

I love the American side of the Game, I've had to put off playing my jumps game.

I've totally redone this side of my game and its fantastic( best game I've ever played), remember usa racing is not about low level h'caps it's claiming races and i think there's selling races on every card to make it realistic, and there a very few long distance H'caps 1M4+ in us racing( more on grasss than dirt). I think it's very good and i can't see how u can change it, racing in the us is based on speed( 5f--1m2f) thats why they race over very few distance's.

Ghost...I disagree... I am also talking about class not just distance.. The game gives you the oppertunity to race at several different tracks at the same time. I do not believe I should wait 6 months to find a level c6 race for a horse racing at a 1m2 or 1m3. I do not want to put my horse in selling races ....plenty of c7 selling races....

Thanks for the reply

Harness it's realistic because in the US horses just do not run over distance's 1m2f+, especially poor horses. If u horse need's a distance of ground then he will only ever run a few times a year, if u want longer distances in u game then u going to have to make them uself. Go into Drf.com and look at all the entries for this weekend and see how many 1m2f+ races were run at this weekend and will see few/if any. American racing is all about speed and thats what makes this game real. If u want 1m2f-1m6f hcaps in the game then it will not represent real life. Plus u do not have lots of hcaps in the Us, the only horses that run in hcaps are the top horses that run in races like the Santa Anita Hcap. U only have two types of horses in Us and that are Graded horses or Claimers/Sellers.

lol ghost...I kinda paid $20 to play a game .....not develop one ! dont get me wrong...i love the game... I was just baffled that I could not find any races to enter my "shit" horses... lol Not claimers...Not G3s....just a basic c6 c5... I do not think its unrealistic.

I go to Fort Erie/Finger Lakes a few times a year and nearly all the races are claimers. Very few are over a mile. I'm off to Woodbine on Saturday :D a few winners would be nice.

Lucky Bugger. I see u might be down to one next year with Woodbine and Fort Erie in trouble.

And Harness that's why i love this game, u can edit the game so u can play just the course's u want, I love the small course's in US/Canada Like Arapahoe Park And Northlands Park And u can add all the big races to these course's. In my game i have 20 US course's and I've added all the real races to them.
