Choose the right action
The Training area offers attribute training, race preparation, rest, and practice races. Injured horses can also use recovery from their profile page.
| Action | Purpose | Energy | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Training session | Improve an attribute permanently. | −4 to −8 | Runs at daily reset. |
| Race prep | Temporary boost for an upcoming race. | −4 | Runs before the race. |
| Rest | Restore Energy and clear fatigue. | +25 | Runs overnight. |
| Recovery | Shorten an injury and restore Energy. | +15 or more | Applied from the horse profile. |
| Practice race | Test times and watch replays. | 0 | Runs instantly. |
Train with a goal
Training sessions develop one of five core race attributes:
| Session | Target Attribute |
|---|---|
| Speed Drill | Speed |
| Endurance Run | Endurance |
| Acceleration Burst | Acceleration |
| Handling Course | Handling |
| Mind Focus | Mind |
| Strength Work | Endurance |
Training gains can vary based on the horse's current ability and trainer bonuses. Focus on attributes that suit your horse and the races you plan to enter.
Add a trainer when it helps
Training runs at base strength without a trainer. If you assign a Trainer or Head Trainer, they add a bonus to the training session.
Trainer uses are limited, so save your best trainers for important sessions.
Prepare for your next race
Race prep is temporary—it boosts stats specifically for your next official race. Pick your race first, then select the preparation option that matches the track conditions and distance.
Check the race entry guide to see how prep combines with tactics and jockeys.
Rest tired horses
Rest restores 25 Energy and clears fatigue overnight, as long as the horse did not race that day.
Recover injured horses
Injured horses cannot train or race. Use the recovery action from the horse profile to heal them faster. Assigning a Veterinarian increases the recovery speed.
What practice races do
Practice races let you test distances and surfaces instantly. Practice races help you learn the replay and compare times. They do not predict exactly how the horse will perform in an official race.
