Checkout The Opposition In The Race

You've done all you can to prepare your virtual race horse for the race, but one thing you have no control of is how good the other horses are in the race.

All horses in the race are listed, together with the weight they're set to carry (as this race was a maiden all horses were off the same weight). It shows the number of previous races each horse has run, plus the number of times they have been placed and won. It also shows the number of claiming races they have run and won.

Click on "View Raceform" on the top menu for a more in-depth view of each horses recent races.

For space reasons we've only shown details of the first two horses, but similar details are shown for all horses in the race. You can see which are wearing blinkers, alumites (Sh) and have been gelded. You can also see details of each of their last 3 starts.

• The ability of your horse (and that of the opposition)
• Fitness levels of each of the horses
• Products that have been applied (e.g. Blinkers, Alumites etc.)
• Where your horse is drawn
• Race distance, track surface and going
• Handicapping (in certain race types)
• Random factors (like real horses, virtual horses have their good days and bad days)
