my virtual stable

[themanwiththeknow]

purchased 3 horses this morning from the sales ring

theatre o dreams

2 yr old colt, grade 1 class B horse

done several time trials with him today and seems to prefer the shorter distances (sprints) on soft/muddy ground

i have high expectaions for this horse

going to see if there is any upcoming races to give him a run out

roxxi

2 yr old fillie, grade 2 class C

done several time trials with her today and she prefers the classic distances, shes not too keen on sprints and not to keen on the long distance (2850 and above) so she is an inbetweener lol

not really expecting much from her, maybe some world challenge race (for grade 2 horses) wins would be nice

going to see if there is any upcoming races to give her a run out

little soldier

worst horse of the 3 i purchased, he is 2yr old colt, grade 2 class D, just the exact same as that boy ronaldo

wont get very far with horse, maybe get him in a few rated races and get him to class C and maybe get him in a few world challenge races that are for gade 2 horses

but not expecting much here

that boy ronaldo

after winning both his newbie races with ease gets his first proper run out tomorrow in a paying race

he is running on the candian dirt track where his 2 previous wins were, his wins were over 1200 and 1400 both on muddy ground and tomorrows going is muddy, he steps up to 1600 which im hoping he will handle ok, only problem here is got his training all wrong and he will only be out 85% fitness for the race tomorrow, which will prob cost him the victory, if he was 95% or above i think he,d win no problem

the off time is 14.33 (15.33 our time)

not really expecting much from ronaldo as he is only around 85% fit, nor am i expecting much from little soldier with it being his first run out and him being grade 2 class D

looking for a good run from both roxxi and theatre o dreams, if one of those 2 could bag a win on their debut run i will be very happy indeed

Hi m8...do you still want me to put a link up to watch the races...

[themanwiththeknow]

only way you can watch them is by going to ladbrokes home page, click on horses then when the horse page comes up scroll down to the bottom until you see raceclubs on the left hand side

just click on that log in (using ur current ladbrokes username) and you can watch the races

thought you might have signed up by now and got urself a horse to play about with lol

once u spend £15.30 they give you £30.60 for free straight away

i bought a horse this morning for 7.65, bought vitamins and blinkers and stuff, came to £15.87 in total and they gave me £30.60 bonus straight away

so i used my bonus cash to buy another 2 horses and plenty of tack (i.e supplements, blinkers, alumites etc)

the free horse you get isnt really up to much as it is a grade 2 class D horse, but when u buy one from from the sales ring for £7.65 it is totally random allcation weather u get grade 1 or grade 2 class A,B,C,D

bought 3 today (2 of them free bonus) one was grade 1 and 2 were grade 2

so far i have 4 horses and they have all the tack they need for the month (blinkers and gelding is for life) supplemens and alumites are £1.02 p/month per horse

in total i have spent around £20.00 and have 4 horses and something to play with

Who was the numpty who posted this a week or so ago.....

"ladbrokes raceclubs

u buy a virtual horse, u have to train it and lookafter it, buy a stable and race it to win real money

i nearly fell of my seat when i seen this

surly people dont actually buy into this sort of thing

i mean seriously owning ur own "virtual racehorse" that u have to lookafter




LMFAO"

And is now addicted to it??????????????

Surely people dont actually buy into this sort of thing????? LMFAO

hehe...good luck anyway mate....but keep your rifle handy for when the novelty wears off!!!

[themanwiththeknow]

but im not addicted, its just for a laugh to keep me occupied till the new season kick offs

it was either that or go out and find a job, think id rather sit and play a virtual horse racing game than the latter

dug a little deeper in the last 2/3 days and u can make serious money if you know what ur doing and play the game the right way

reading the hall of fame yesterday and one guy has made 210k since joining

he is one of 4 who have made over 100k since joining

now im not saying i will get anywhere near those figures (because i wont) ill be bored by end of the next season (which is oct i think) but if i can get myself a piece of the pie ill be happy

[bennythedip2]

Although i think you and jim need 'ya lumps felt', i can see the enjoyment and fun.....dont get to deep and involved...Ive told people about not getting involved with online roulette and casino but this, at least you can have fun small stakes but i'll stick to me dogs glk benny

[themanwiththeknow]

finished 4th of 4 (returns of £0.35p) finished 4.48 lengths behind the winner, with only 0.88 lengths seperating 1st and 3rd

he never really had a chance with the other 3 horses all being class C while he is class D.

he also had the worst jockey of the 4 jockies

might put him in a couple of class D rated races, but apart from that i can see him getting shot soon

[themanwiththeknow]

finished 2nd of 9 runners (returned £1.95) beaten by 0.48 lengths, he ran the race at 89% fitness

no doubt what soever in my mind if he races 95%+ he would have won the race, no question

he was ahead with 5 furlongs remaining, ahead with 4 remaining, still ahead going into final furlong to lose right near he end

i think the fact he had the best jockey from the 9 jockies in the race certainly helped with him only being 89% fit

think he will get the win next time out

but overall he is doing ok, 3 runs and with 2 wins and a 2nd

finally got some profit on him

[themanwiththeknow]

entered him into a class D rated race to see how he goes against horses of the same class

class D 2yo C, rated race wed 2nd july 08 14.33 (15.33 ourtime) england (turf) 2850 going.....soft
