Three years of hard work has finally paid off for champion horse trainer, Holmang, when he won Raceclubs Challenge Finals!

Raceclubs interviews Holmang Horses

Winning a Challenge Series Final felt GREAT. After 3 years of hard work, it has finally paid off. So i am literally chuffed over winning my first final. And nice that when it finally came, it was the one with the biggest prize pool. Hopefully it wont be the last. I would also like to add that the real Natusik Polukhina is my girlfriend, who i love very much, and it was fun for both of us when the horse with the same name won the biggest race for fillys in RC.

I was fairly optimistic on getting in the top 4. The ground came up perfect, and my draw was good. I knew shotgun mickes horse (eccellenza suecia) was as good as mine and had 2 lbs less weight. Unfortunately for him, the booked jockey was Chua, and he finished 6th. As for my random Eric sun (5th random in the race) was just enough to secure the top spot. Btw, i see now that Rubys Thunder put in a heck of a run to finish 3rd with Khalifa on board.

I don’t follow any routines really :)and i usually fast forward until the end, as i cannot bear the excitement. Kjetil (Burkveen Racing), is always the first person i share my victories with. He is a good friend, and we enjoy comparing TTs and valuing horses. Its nice to have a mate who shares the same passion for the game as myself, as most people i know dont understand what the hell im doing, and basically laugh at the whole consept of virtual racing.

My preparation consists of working out a strategy for each horse that has winning or placing chances. I must pick my races very carefully, and try not too carry to much weight penalty. I have no immidiate plans for changing my strategy in the future.

My advice to other trainers is that they need to invest more into the game to enjoy the real passion, and also to be patient, as many are tempted to race their best horses flat out, hence missing out on the really big pots.

As for the winnings i have invested all of it into the game again, but unfortunately without picking up anything like Natusik Polukhina. 

Lets enjoy some more racing!
