Hello,

I am a total newbie to Starting Orders and was just hoping for some tips from the experienced among you if that was possible? I love horse racing and management simulations such as Football Manager etc so thought I should really give this a crack. I've really enjoyed it so far, I'm just not very good! If you could give me 5 tips what would they be?

Thanks, Adam

welcome to the forum Mate
there is loads of info on here i will try and find some tips to put in this thread for you will reply soon

Thanks mate, means a lot. I have had a browse through former posts.

this is a real mixture from other threads but have a look

i suggest you start a new flat game and buy some horses in thursday auctions

try and win some major races with what you buy then at the end of the season transfer them to the game pool

then once you have 6 decent flat horses say 3 male 3 female transfer them into a jumps game and start breeding
or you can race them then retire them to stud

if you start on easy mode you get 5 horses 1 or 2 might be decent look at there stats and if they are good keep them if they are no good sell them
5 you get about 2million for them

also to get money early save the game go racing and see if a horse wins well by over 4 lengths and the 2nd horse is say 2 lengths ahead of third
write the name of the 2 horses down press ctrl alt delete shurt so5 down go back in load the game and do reverse forcasts
this give you some serious money to go shopping with






not really that important mate
main 1 is obviously ability bars and consistency bar

always buy at E.O.Y 2yo auction when you are starting out always buy all 2yo over 1.2million i have though found it better going to
Thursday auction and look for group winners & 2yo's

when your horse reaches 6 or 7 he will start to dip in potential and more importantly in ability but still passes his best potential and ability
on to his offspring



earlier the better do all mine in january

What is the easiest way to make money?

day 1 save your game
go racing and watch every race that day and if a horse wins by over 4 lengths at a decent price write it down
ctrl alt del and close so5
re open the game and it will bring you back to that days racing
go and back those winners you wrote down

Isn't that kind of cheating?

You will find it very difficult to succeed without money i advised it because i thought you were looking for a quick start

And I do it on my first game then when I have good horses I transfer them into the game pool then when I start a new game in slot 2 I transfer whats in the game pool into game two and because I know the horses are good I have no need to cheat lol

Well, at least not for a second time anyway eh?!!!!

And yes, I do it too!
