When you've decided on a race suitable for your horse check the relevant "Nominate" box. The nomination price will automatically be added to the total. Assuming you only wish to nominate for one race click the "Add To Basket" button.

At this point your horse is not yet entered for the race, so you'll need to view your basket and click on the "Purchase" button.
