How to play TRM

Start your stable and enter your first race

Create your stable, choose two free starter horses, and prepare for your first race.

1 · Create your stable

Name your stable and choose your colors

Start by naming your stable and selecting your racing colors and pattern. Your silks appear with your horses in races and replays.

Setup takes less than a minute. Once confirmed, you go straight to choosing your starter horses.

2 · Starter horses

Choose two starter horses

Starter horses are free and stay with your stable permanently. Compare their five core attributes—Speed, Acceleration, Endurance, Handling, and Mind—along with their preferred surface and distance.

Try to choose horses with different surface or distance preferences. This gives you more race options.

ACCEarly acceleration

ENDSustained effort

HNDBalance and turns

MINDFocus and decisions

3 · Learn about your horses

Look beyond the overall rating

Open a horse's profile to check its health, Energy, and upcoming actions. Assigned staff and equipment can provide extra bonuses.

Horses can race and train starting at age 2. Breeding unlocks at age 3. Horses retire from racing after age 8 and cannot breed after age 12.
