A Question to all THF Members

They don't divulge that Fink...the top owner has probably as many G2 horses as he has G1 horses...yes you might be talking 60,000 races, but G2 races are at a lower nomination fee, starting @ $2...the highest G1 nomination fees are $30, but those are for Championship Qualifiers and Championship races are free, you have to Qualify. He only ran, something like 32 Championship Races out of the 60,000 races. There are a number of free races besides the Barrier Races when you are evaluating or training your horse in a real race and those are counted as real races but are free...plus there is money made/lost at the Auctions, which are not included in these figures...some horses are sold at Auction that have never ran in a race and others are purchased and re-sold for profit without even running them once. There are also G1 Division races which are $25 and less than $25 for G2 horses. The one horse that I talked about was bought for $15 at the ring sale and sold at Auction for $7,600 after it turned out to be a great winner, That was not bought or sold by the top owner but the horse is still running at something like 6 or 7 years old.

It is more like the real thing than it is a game and you have many of the virtual owners that own and race real horses. I don't have all the answers...hell I only have a few .1% answers, but so far it does look interesting and it is fun.

Also you have a couple of the same owners that are winning $20,000 to $25,000 per month, every month.

It's no gravy train...it's work...but fun work...just like poker. Your races only take less than 2 minutes but you put in a lot of work preparing...in poker you can spend 6 hours in a tournament, but have little preparation work.

It makes no difference to me, I'm in it to try it out and have some fun trying regardless of what the THF viewpoint is. My interest is that the skill/luck factor is a lot higher than it is in poker.
