The Best Advice From Top Trainers On RaceClubs.com: where they started and how they moved straight ot the top of their game!

We asked a selection of top trainers what were their first impressions when they joined RaceClubs.com and what is the best advice they’d give to other trainers. It’s all about sharing and helping each other out- so don’t feel shy to add your two cents in the suggestion box for future publication! 


The best thing is when buying a new horse and seeing it improve with every trial run. Once you have found the exact distance and going for that horse it is then worth beginning to enter it into small priced races before maybe trying for higher wins and who knows maybe you may have a champion one day.

Two things stand out for me.. My 1st winner-Kute Kat and buying Stalking Horse in a claimer, she won her 1st race for me so that was really satisfying. Advice for others, I don't think I am yet able to offer advice other than the advice I got from others, Take it easy and place your horses carefully. Enjoy it to the full. It is brilliant.

Invest in quality horses that are capable of winning the challenge finals. For each horse develop a plan of action to qualify for the challenge final without too much weight. Then pray for the right weather conditions, draw and jockey. Finally sit back and watch your horse romp home on finals day.

My most memorable experience must be my one and only challenge qualifier win with Global Legacy. The best advice i could give to future rookies would be to use the RC stable page to the fullest, there are many tabs which make your race selection both easy and productive, also don't be afraid to ask questions in the RC forums there are many experienced trainers which are more than willing to help.

When starting out try not to rush into it, take your time to learn the game properly, claim a few older horses off reputable trainers and learn from the racing and training history. This will give you great knowledge as to what is required to help make your stable successful and help you when purchasing both sales ring and auction horses. Don't get into a bidding war when you are going for a horse in auction, stick to your budget there will always be another time, and try only to but horses out the sales ring with bonus credits where possible. Also as hard as it may be, try not to run horses in races that are bot suitable, we all do it but 9 times out of ten you wont win.

Best advice i can give is dont go all guns blazing into the game get to know the game. Its a hard game to get to grips with you can spend thousands if you dont learn the game. Learn the game and you can be in the money. Starz Stable If asked in direction to a newer stable, it would without a doubt in my view be pateince, dont rush in learn and study the game, read the forums, soak up as much information as posisble, when moving forward I usually recomment to focus on one area of the game and learn each area before going in a new area.. even the most successful trainers focus there main stratergy in once area ....

I believe that to build a successful stable from scratch, especially on a limited budget, the most important attribute is patience. Read and learn everything you can before diving in. Use the claimers, where a little form study will identify raceable horses, to get you going without spending a fortune in the sales ring. It may surprise people to find that amongst all the dross even level weights/ wfa runners can be found in claimers. Train your horses extensively to make sure you have identified their preferences and enter them accordingly and as near to full fitness as possible to maximise their chances of being profitable runners.

Best Experience? Well this would easily be winning the end of the season final with a mid div jockey on board Shes My Girl. The monthly was great but the end of season was the sweetest feeling ever. The best advice i could to new players is take your time it aint a rocket ship you are playing with. When you get your free horse/horses get them trained to find there best trip and going. Dont go racing flat out as much as we all do it when we start. Learn about them get to know how raceable they are if able to win a race or not. Always ask advice you will be surprised just how helpful people are on here. But most of all stay away from the SALES RING until you know what you are doing and can afford it. As there are some real donkeys in the sales ring. There is plenty of decent horses in claimers for less money and proven form. I always have my inbox open.[unless RC suspend me] lol But the most important thing to remember this is not a get rich quick fix. There is money to be made if you approach it right. So all i can say is happy racing and see you at the track.

I think my best experience as been buiding my smallG3 stable and seeing the wins start clocking up,its great to see one of my horses like eat my dirt come from last place to get his head in front on the line.he always beats his random and give him a good jockey and he’s like a bullet! As for the best advice i have been given and what i can give myself to anyone joining raceclubs is learn the game!.dont jump straight in thinking you are going to clean up because it wont happen, unless your someone like the divine diva who can spend big in the auctions you need to start at the bottom. buy your horses from the claiming races and learn everything you can,theres plenty of stables on the forums who are more than willing to give you help and advice. Dont be scared to ask any question,no matter how daft you think it may be.im looking foreward now to getting some good age changes for my 2yr olds to have to get a new batch of 2yr olds for the new season to hopefully challenge the big G3 trainers like thesidleyspanker and butterbigging racing.

My best advice for anyone creating a successful stable.The first thing any new player should do is claim an older horse that has 12 or more victories and study everything about it. What times it took to win as a 2 yr old, how much it gained when it turned 3 then 4, what type of races it won and what type of races it finished out of the money. Careful study of a winning horse can teach you more than just about any other thing. The best place to acquire horses in this game is the auction but before spending your budget or any of it you should know what to look for and what not to look for. Studying winning horses, reading the complete newbie guide, and asking questions in the forum are the best ways to achieve this. The continued growth of a stable will depend on getting new horses from the sales and the best way of getting a steady supply of them is to gain bonus credits. These credits are won with real good horses and earned by achieving bonuses like the 500 run bonus and the 50 win bonus. The amount of time it takes to accumulate these credits will depend on how many horses you have that are race-able in BC added races and how fast you earn your bonus credits. One of the hardest things for players to grasp is the patience it takes to build a proper stable.

My best experience was training a horse I bought from the sales ring Traditional Miss to win her first race which was an EB allowance race. That little win was awesome for me. Since that time I have enjoyed the excitement of my first purchases in the auction win, one in particular Thunder Past is not a great horse but always gives me a good run and he has beaten good horses and wasn’t expensive. I also recently claimed a horse that had 14 other claims on it and won it - that was great too and he is proving to be a worthy addition to the stable. But still every winner gives me a buzz of excitement. 

For new players I would advise you to mail someone if they have a horse you would like to buy and ask for TT's They will normally answer and be quite friendly. Find a buddy on the forum someone who can point you in the right direction they can inform you of the right horses to buy - but from there it’s down to you. When you buy a horse from a good trainer check to see how they have trained and try those techniques with your other horses. 

Use the forums the people there have so much knowledge of the game it’s imperative that you listen and learn. Owners are willing to help, if you go about it in the right way. They will answer questions and will guide you into buying the right horses. 

Try to decide what level of the game suits you, never go in to heavy, feel your way and try to keep your horses to the conditions that suit them best for best results don’t take too many chances. Of course it’s exciting to take on the big boys and that’s half the fun. But never overstretch your budget; treat it as fun and it will be. You will always have times of frustration but take it on the chin be prepared to lose you won’t win all the time even of you think you should. There has to be losers and sometimes it will be you. 

Take one step at a time - my next goal is to buy a challenge horse hopefully from the sales ring and then who knows - wouldn’t it be great to win a big race. 

It’s a factory of dreams.
