    Anyone know if you can buy these, and like virtually train them. I cant afford the real thing, but would love to go into boyles someday and back my horse at 50-1 :D

    Yeah the little pixels all head off to the parade ring and the presentations are made, the bookies don't show it.

    Jesus Wept.

    The only people who make money out of virtual horse racing are the bookies.

    A mate of mine calls it cartoon racing. More accurate, I think. :)

    Have a look at digiturf.com and raceclubs.com mate. Theres a new one as well but for the life of me I can't think of the name.

    There used to be a crowd that did it. You trained your horse over the internet and one of the sky channels had the virtul races so you could tune in and shout it along. Don't know if its one of the above but I think its gone now anyway. All races are over the internet.

    Thought about doing it myself before for the craic but dont think i'd have the time.

    I have one for sale if you are interested. He is a two year old, who might make a good jumper once he gets to steepledowns. He was fourth in a good handicap at portman park and you could have a right time with him.

    Its €10K but I am open to offers. PM me with your bank details or send me a cheque and I'll email him to you.

    good luck.
