| Imagine
owning and training a stable of thoroughbred racehorses; the tactical
decisions, the training, the finance and the glamour of the race.
Stable Masters recreates this unique world and lets you live your
dreams as a stable owner, manager and trainer all at once. Great care
has been taken to stay as faithful to the sport as possible.
You
are assigned a small stable of medium ranked horses and it is up to you
to train and feed them, book jockeys and eventually race and manage
them to victory, gaining prize money along the way.
It
is your job to train each horse to their individual needs, entering
them for the appropriate up and coming races, slowly building them up
into a winning thoroughbred horse. The correct decisions need to be
made at every level to ensure that you lead your stable to glory. You
must be careful not to overrun your horses as you enter them in small
races initially, building their stamina and hone their running
preferences.
As
your horses' become more experienced and improve their ranking, they
can be entered into the bigger races for bigger prize money and become
true thoroughbreds. To achieve this you need to have your finger on the
pulse of all the horses in your stable, from the type of feed they
require to their preferred running. Only this inside knowledge will
give you the advantages necessary to take your stable to the next level.
You
can build up your stable of horses buy bidding at the many auctions
that take place after listed races, and you can put your own horses up
for sale to generate extra funds. This is your opportunity to build up
your stable, cutting loose the dead weight and including some of the
more legendary runners.
You
will also need to keep a close eye on your stable's finances throughout
the game, as there are many outgoings that need to be accounted for. As
you take on more horses, you will need greater finances to fund extra
jockeys and race entries. Juggling the funds will become an integral
part of your management tactics.
On
race day, you will be able to take part in the most exciting part of
the sport; betting! Listen carefully to the enigmatic tipsters as you
lay your money on the line. As with all owners, you have the unique
opportunity to place a bet on your own horse in the race: if you
believe they can win!
Players
familiar with racecards, form cards and betting slips will feel right
at home, while newcomers to the sport can play right away!
