Free horse training guide to train your horses faster!

Training is the foundation of a successful racing career. It is equally important for increasing fitness while identifying your horse’s racing preferences. Poorly trained horses lose races, waste money and make a complete mockery of competitive racing. 

TRAINING101 is the most comprehensive guide to training, managing and racing your horses. It assumes you are already familiar with the How To Play guide and HELP; and moves forward with the fastest, most efficient training strategies ever for both newbie trainers and veterans alike. 

If you’ve only bought one horse, or 101 horses, we suggest you master the fine art of training, because the sooner you finish your homework the quicker you can watch the races! 

1: Train Smarter- Not Harder! 

Your quickest training session ever averages 12 runs within minutes! 

Step 1: Train once over 1400, 2200 & 2850 (same track & going). 
Result: Preference for sprint, classic or stayer distances established. 
NB: These lengths are not indicative of racing potential or track preference as performance may improve over different conditions but you may have an idea of preferred distances for your first nomination. 

Step 2: Apply & assess impact of tack on raceable horses. 
Alumites: Train 3X over preferred distances (same going). 
Gelding: Train <90% fitness over different track surface. 
Result: Horses trained to 90% fitness over general distances and assorted tracks. 

ACTION: Nominate into a Maiden race based upon preferences. 

The following training cycle (50 -90%) can be completed over preferred tracks with varying goings to fine-tune preferences. Alternate runs with & without blinkers to ascertain if your horses like blinkers; eg. 1 x preferred track without blinkers. Repeat with blinkers. Repeat over another track. 

Step 3: Create a new stable category for under-achievers. 
Set training variables for tracks, distances & goings to ALL >> Run Barrier Races. 
Using the BACK button, continue running barrier races until training session is over. 
The system automatically trains over all tracks, distances & goings. 
Result: Quicker fitness flips allows more time to manage better horses. 

Step 4: Apply Auto-Trainer [Ta] over ALL variables <95%. 
Continue training until first stabling fee. Remember to flip over 100%. 
Auto-Trainer completes 90+ training variables. Effortless! 
Result: Barrier victims exposed for bulk retirement. 

ACTION: Horses with racing potential: Tack > Nominate > Keep! 

2: Forget Failures. Remember Results. 

Analyze over 90 training results within a minute! 

Click: BARRIER RACE HISTORY [B] >> EXPORT HISTORY. 

Copy into an Excel document. 
Sort lengths in descending order. The highest lengths in relation to fitness confirm preferences. 
Sort track, distance & going alphabetically. Ensure you’ve covered all training variables. 
Result: Racing strategy determined by horse’s preferences. 

QuickTIP: Abbreviate preferences for future reference. 
Eg: 14/18 D < X (1400 to 1800M dirt tracks < X lengths) 

Action: Save preferences to the following pages for quick reference, future races and easier stable management:- 

Step 1: Horse Details Page. 
You’ll like what you see whenever you mouse over your horse’s name.

Step 2: Horse preferences [Hp]. 
Your nominations just got faster & smarter. 
[Hp] determines programming so your horse gets the race it wants. 

Step 3: Auto-Nomination [Na]. 
The ultimate stable management tool when you don’t have time to nominate your horses. 
Your horse’s preferences, your decision, [Na]’s responsibility! 

3: Exploit the Auto-Trainer to your advantage. 

After establishing preferences, training becomes a fitness-boosting routine. We suggest activating the Auto-Trainer [Ta] to have your horses racing fit whenever you open your stable door. Less time spent training means more time for racing! 

Get twice the results in half the time. 
Set the Default settings to ALL (regardless of preferences) 
Each training session will be run over different tracks which fine-tunes preferences down to the exact going. 
Result: Over time you’ll have the most comprehensive training history; useful for identifying further preferences. 
Periodically analyze results for a better understanding of your horse’s abilities & preferences. 
Repeat as required, especially after age changes, when form drops or when evaluating new horses purchased through claimers & auctions.
