Before you start racing your virtual horses at Raceclubs.com: Read this!

Derekw10's Rookie Starter Guide to RaceClubs.com

First I would say you have to look at all the help sections on RC this will help you get started I personally like.

Quick Start Guide To Virtual Racing
Improving Performance of your horse
Racing Overview
Equipping your horse
Training your horse
Jockeys Explained

 

All the above are things you should read before reading this guide.

Welcome to RaceClubs.com whether you are a new or old member we all started from the same place and that was at the beginning this guide is to help you get started learning them game.

Step 1 – TRAINING
I believe the first thing to do when joining RaceClubs.com is train your horse to work out it's favourite distance, goings, etc. There is a great training guide written by Hendon Racing Club and a more detailed one written by my self. This is the best way to train your horse. If you carefully read this guide you will be able to master what distance your horse likes very quickly. Read the Derekw10 Training Guide

Step 2 – RACING
From the training guide you should have a good idea of what is your horse(s) best distance now its time to race.
The horse in your yard will be a Grade 3 horse. There are currently 3 grades on RaceClubs.com, including Grade 1 and 2. You should always start off with a Maiden or Novice race.
Enter your horse in a race over your preferred distance and preferred going if possible and see how you get on.

Sept 3- RACEVIEWING
Did you Enjoy watching your horse race? If so, proceed to step 4!

Step 4 - BUDGETTING
If you are this far you must want to play the game now its time to start learning all about the horses on RaceClubs.com and how to race. One great bit advice is you must learn to walk before you can run so plan your budget. I have created a guide below suitable all budgets. 

1) The stable that wants to have fun on low budgets stick to G3's as they are low cost and wont drain your money.
2) The stable that wants to be semi competitive with a medium budget stick to G2's and have a few G1's. 
3) The stable that’s wants to be really competitive must race G1 and Challenge class horses. 

Step 5 – CLAIMING
Depending on what budget you have chosen is depending on what horses you will look for in claimers G1, G2, or G3. The reason to invest in a few horses from the claimers is it’s a good starting place to learn what is needed to win. What to look for in claimers:

1) Claim horses that have won a few races and study their training history to see what is needed at that certain grade to win races and money.
I personally would claim a few horses over different distances. The best way to start would be:
2 colts over 1400m
2 colts over 2200m
2 colts over 2850m

Then repeat the same process for fillies to compare their different TT lengths. 

2) Claim older horses. If you can claim older horse age 4+ you will be able to look at there time trails history at ages 2, 3 & 4.

3) (G1 only) If you see a horse in a claimer that has more than a £10 average this must be a good horse put a claim on it then you will be able to learn what is needed to win at G1 level.

Step 6 – INVESTING
Once you have done all the studying you need it is time to invest in the Sales Ring to see if you can pull the next Challenge Class horse. 

Step 7 – MENTORING
If you need more advice you can contact one of the members from the Mentorship Program

That’s my "getting started guide for rookies" but I have written other guides which can be found in RaceClubs.com's forum.
