Hooves Of Thunder!

Hooves of Thunder! is a racing simulation where 1500 horses, 125 jockeys and 150 trainers race 311 days a year.

Each day has 10 races in a variety of claiming, maiden, nw1/2, and allowances. And, through the year, there are 125 Handicap and Stakes races. The monthly condition book lets owners and trainers map their entry plans. Stable owners add to their stables through auctions for unraced 2 yo’s, private purchases, and claiming.

Parimutual betting is to win, place and show with exactas/trifectas. And Hooves gives you 120 professional handicapping tips for picking winners in Hooves and live racing.
