Have you ever wanted to be a Racehorse Trainer or Owner? Those cold winter mornings, 5am on the gallops! Well YES, I would like to be one, but NO not during winter months. Thank goodness for Virtual Horse Racing games. They come in many guises, some are free and some basic, others are well run and great to play. Finding the right game depends on many factors.
1) Do you what a fast run game where a horse can run from day one? 2) Do you want to breed from your steeds? 3) Do you want horses to live in real time? 4) How much like real life do you want the game to be? 5) How much do you want to spend?
This guide looks at three games. Well in reality two as Digiturf (Digi) and Raceclubs (RC) are basically the same game, the other being Horse Racing Park (HRP).
HRP is my favorite game! Your horses are born as a 2 year old and from that point, live in real time! You have to learn training skills and get used to your horses. When their racing careers are over you can choose to breed from them or let them drift off into Virtual obscurity! If you ever wanted to be a trainer then this is a game for you. From planning race entries to sorting out breeding combinations, this is Virtual Horse Racing Heaven and also can be played for free.
2) Race Entries Costs: $0.00 to $50.00. 3) Top Prize Money: $1000. 4) Auction: Yes, prices from $1. 5) Can you breed? Yes. 6) Breed Costs: From: $5 +any stud fees. 7) Life Span Racing: Up to 15 years. 8) Life Span Breeding: Sire's 40 per year. 9) Life Span Breeding: Mare's 20 breeds 10) Max.

Digiturf (and Raceclubs) is for you if you want virtual horse racing with horses able to race horses from day one. There are numerous grades of races and a new automated training system to get your horses fit. You have three Dirt and Three Turf courses to race at. There is even an automated race entry system, so if busy, let it auto play for you. There is no breeding and the horses live for 6 racing seasons, 2 human years. A free game is available for a month; however the paid game can be more profitable than HRP if played right, likewise more costly if not.
