Horse racing basics
This is horse racing where the same horses keep racing day after day. You can enjoy it by buying betting tickets. You can also own horses.
How to
- Open “Games” → “Horse racing”.
- Choose a race and look at the race card.
- Buy betting tickets. Sales close 1 minute before the start.
- Watch the race. You can see the results and payouts on the race screen.
Good to know
- Races run every day, 12:30–13:30 and 16:30–22:30.
- The same horses keep racing, and their records are kept. Winning moves a horse up a class (Maiden → 1-win → 2-win → 3-win → Open).
- Horses age 1 year every month. They retire at 8 (at 4 if they never won).
- New 2-year-olds join every month. A horse never runs twice in one day, or on 2 days in a row.
- “Info” → “Today” also shows the main race and the next race.
- “Info” → “Racing millionaires” shows this week's total winnings (guests are not listed).
Racecourses on the Land map
- The Land map also has racecourses at Fuchu, Kyoto and Chukyo. During race times, visitors get on and off at nearby stations and bus stops.
- If you build an off-track betting office, you get 5% of the betting ticket sales to local people as a fee.
