That is very fun and enjoyable to play. The only tweak I would have is that horses should not race between one and 7 AM because nobody wants to watch that and we should also be able to pick their feed/what they eat and we should be able to train them in different ways. We should also be able to drive our own horses not just if we have the pro license because you can take it away from us anyway. But overall, this game is very fun just gets a little repetitive and again I really emphasize the importance of us needing the ability to train our own horses that would be the turning point for this game ### 2/5 — Pay to play *2026-03-08* You cannot start the game with what they provide. Trash horses that can’t win a race or even place to earn any money. You gotta buy coins to purchase from auction or get lucky in a claimed. There’s 0 chance you can do anything without buying coins. Coming from a racing background I love the concept but not practical ### 4/5 — Great Game! *2024-12-11* It’s really fun especially because it takes a lot of work and strategy. I wish I could interact with my horses in a stable. And I wish I could train, exercise, feed, groom, and otherwise care for my horses. I also wish I could customize more. I suggest trying this game. It’s really fun. 😁🐎 ### 3/5 — WHERE MY HORSES *2024-09-10, version 2.17* when i buy horses from auction it takes my money and doesn't give me the horse ### 4/5 — Amazing! *2024-08-22* Great game! It takes strategy and hard work but it’s really fun! I wish the graphics where better, especially in racing. Great job! 😁 ### 1/5 — Cheaters.... *2021-01-28, version 1.0.35* Thanks for screwing me on the sale of my horse....guys. Really professional of you!!! ### 5/5 — I love this game *2020-12-05, version 1.0.35* Awesome game ### 1/5 — Don’t spend a dime *2020-10-29* Do not spend any money on this game,a select few players run the show and the owners are in with them,you have zero chance to ever succeed!!!Concept of the game was fantastic but management sadly is greedy and only cares about money ### 5/5 — Great game!! *2020-10-01* Have been playing this game for a while now and I can honestly say it is one of my favourites! ### 5/5 — Help *2020-09-17* I love the game and doing well, I just cannot open the app up and it is driving me crazy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2023-04-11, version 1.7* Where else can you “race” in the NW1 lifetime and not even get a check when your horse pacers in 49?! 40 starts and 3 3rds… I deleted the game because of how unrealistic it is ### 1/5 — Lost all horses *2022-11-20* Great game at first but lost all my horses with no warning. Complete waste of time invested. ### 1/5 — AWFUL *2022-08-25, version 1.7* This game is horrible! There’s no sound, and whoever developed this game is just greedy for money! I’ve got seven horses in my stable, and they haven’t even won a single race! DON’T WASTE YOU’RE TIME WITH THIS GAME!🤬🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — Rigged *2022-06-07, version 1.7* Game is rigged so don’t waste any money on this app. Company will steal your money and then ban you for nothing n. Big barns run the game and the mall ones get ripped off. Dishonest company !! Probably a front for isis in Canada .’ Be very careful . Cops are watching this app . Straight up thieves. ### 1/5 — Took my money *2022-03-09, version 1.5* Just paid for gold and see it’s gone from my card but the game never sent me my gold ### 1/5 — New Version *2022-02-25, version 1.1* Hate the new Version its hard to see how you did in a race. ### 1/5 — Garbage game *2021-11-24* Don’t waste your time, better games. Lost everything I invested. Support does not reply to you. Ban this game. ### 1/5 — Rigged *2021-10-26* Trust me I played for 2 years and the game is rigged. The developers turbo up certain horses in the game owned by certain players they are linked with. A great example of this is I bred a horse who I didn’t think much of as it wasn’t a green zero and so I sold it and it was mediocre for the new owner until he sold it to one of the developers favourites and it ended up winning $77 mill and 7 trophies. I bred 2 double green zeros and kept them and I won 23 mill and 6 trophies with one of them and made 10 trophy races with the other for zero wins. This may not sound too bad until you realise that based on when they all turned green speed my 2 horses I kept should have been far more superior than the $77 mill winner but they weren’t. Also the developers are guilty of manipulating race results. Hence why my 2 guns were mediocre and my other horse was a champ but wasn’t even a gun to start with for if I had known it was I would never have even sold it. Truly don’t waste your time with this game it’s not built on integrity and fairness but actually run by tyrants who’s main moral compass lies in deceit, corruption and dishonesty. It’s a no from me, the most corrupted game I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing. 0 stars. ### 1/5 — Cheats *2021-06-22* The top seven stables in the game have all won precisely the same amount in purses. They aren’t even trying to hide that the game is rigged. Don’t waste your time, the game is rigged to suit a chosen few. ### 1/5 — waste of money *2021-05-21, version 1.0.35* don’t waste your money. No matter how much money you spend you can’t get anywhere on this game.Your horse is always lose. Always draw bad post. No matter how good the horses the game always finds a way to screw you. Save your money and play another game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New feature *2026-03-04* Would be sick if u could train ur horses in between races to improve there stats, like swimming to improve stamina etc, gives players something to do in between races. ### 5/5 — Horse registration *2023-02-02, version 1.7* Please continue to update the game and keep adding new features!!!!!! But also horse registration is ridiculously expensive,I can’t even afford to register my own horses🤦‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-08-30, version 1.7* I love this game way too much. Wonderful game and I’m addicted. ### 5/5 — Best horse racing game *2022-08-28, version 1.7* By far the most realistic and best horse racing game you can download. I’m big into thoroughbreds that’s what I work with but and before this game had little knowledge of harness racing but this game made me a fan it’s like real life harness racing but on your phone. You can claim,breed, buy in auction 24/7 365 huge base of players with lots of involvement in the industry. If this game has the money to market their game that rival stars does they’d put everyone out of business. If you have any patience and like horse racing download this game message me if you need help starting out I can give you a hand and tell you all you need to know. ### 5/5 — Cool *2022-02-09* Super bien ce p’tit jeu ### 5/5 — What have I been missing out on? *2022-01-01* Awesome idea and love it so far. ### 5/5 — Well Done *2021-12-26* This is a very good game, if anyone knows horse racing this is perfect. I really wish the creators would make a TB racing too instead of just horse and buggy. ### 5/5 — Lost my horses *2021-11-12* I love this game but in my stable Takhini river farms I lost some of my horses and they’re were good ones to can you pls answer me back because I want my horses back and can you make it that you can play it without internet and that the breeding barn doesn’t take any money to unlock it please respond thnx ### 5/5 — Fun game *2021-09-01* Give it time it’s worth it if you enjoy the trots and harness racing. ### 5/5 — Kyle racing *2021-06-20, version 1.0.35* Love the game,it’s really fun to play! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
