7-7 I am not connected to the website often enough to have the pleasure of watching my horse race live.
With so many clues to tell me whether I won or lost a race as soon as I connect (my account balance the left side menu, the column last race in my stable table), is there any way to keep the suspense and the excitement of viewing the race? |
|
|
Newturf has developped a tool that allows you to watch your horse run in the same conditions of live, that means without knowing the outcome in advance:
General left side menu > My Profile & My Options.
>> Check the two following box:
Hide account balance in the left side menu
Hide my results on the "My Performance" page
By logging on the site, click first on the new link "My performance", placed for this purpose (link in the shortcuts, under the plan, homepage).
Then you have to click on the link visualization of the race (last column) that appears directly to this page if this option is selected. |
|
|

7-9 I have an other jockey to drive my horse.
What happens if the jockey is not around to validate a tactic before the race?
Does he still get the 7% fee if the horse wins?
|
|

If he is missing often it is up to you, the owner, to decide to continue with him or to hire an other jockey!
|
|
|

|
|
Yes, that is possible. In order to do so:
Left side menu, "Positions"

|
|
7-12 Do tests impact the fatigue of a horse? |
|
|

|
|

|
7-14 How can you get breeding points for your stallion? |
|
|
Each stallion receives 10 breeding points (breeding points = the right to breed with a mare) the first day of each month.
It is possible to earn an extra 20 breeding points each month.
As long as the 30 breeding points obtained throughout the month have not been touched, then the stallion earns 1 breeding point each time that he finishes among the first half of the horses in a public race. (E.g. third out of 6/7 participants, 4th out of 8/9 participants, 5 out of 10/11 participants etc...). |
|
|
7-15 I am the owner of a stallion. I have sold a covering to a breeder but I haven't been paid yet! |
|
|
The breeder has scheduled the covering for later.
You will receive the funds 28 days before the foal's birth, i.e. on the day of the visit of the veterinarian.
.
Providing the breeder has the funds on his account on that day.
|
|
|
7-16 I do not manage to cancel my nomination while the registration to the race is not closed yet. |
|
|
This is because this race is one of the Flat Racing Daily Calendar and it was filled before the end of registration. Each time this type of race is filled, its statut changed into "preparation mode" or "departure pending": you cannot cancel your nomination anymore. Instantaneously, a new race with the same parameters is created.
|
|
|
7-17 How can we change the name of a horse? |
|
|
A horse keeps its birth name all along its career on Newturf. Changing the name is not allowed.
It is up to the Breeder to choose a name for the horse in accordance with the Naming Rules.
|
|
|
7-18 How to retire a horse? |
|
|
You can do it here:
SALES
>> SELL HORSES
