### 5/5 — Best Horse Racing Manager Game

*2024-09-21, version 1.0*

This game is incredibly addicting. It lets you live out the experience of being a horse racing manager in a real money ecosystem. Own, race, breed and wager on digital horses. The breeding gameplay & algorithm is especially impressive. The game also has a free to play trainer mode of you want to see what it’s like before spending money.

### 5/5 — Strong Team of Developers

*2024-09-21, version 1.0*

This game is brought to us by some of the most talented and knowledgeable minds is gaming. From the creator of the “Hit Stick” in Madden, Ian Cummings is a true giga brain. This team encourages community feedback and is always looking to improve. 
Now on to the actual game, it is VERY realistic! Just as with owning a real horse, winning a race is hard to do. There is a skill curve involved with this game, and you may lose some money in the process. Make sure that you take the time to learn the game with your FREE TRAINER HORSE and ask the community any question that pops to mind, we are here to help you learn the game and encourage you to find a new passion that all the current players didn’t know they had, horse racing!
All in all, this game would get 10 stars if I could give it that. 

PFL for life 🌹

### 5/5 — This is the future of horse racing

*2024-09-20, version 1.0*

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time! Horse racing fans this is a must have. Not a horse racing fan but like gaming and strategy it’s a must have.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-09-20, version 1.0*

Truly amazing game — as real as it gets when it comes to horse racing. Been hooked on this game for months and glad to see it now finally in the App Store. Look forward to all the new players joining the game.

### 5/5 — Horse Racing Manager

*2024-09-20, version 1.0*

Great product, great game. Fun to play, race, breed, and bet on the virtual horse races.  So cool now that there is a dedicated app! 

I started playing the game a few months ago. The team is awesome, super responsive and executing well. PFL game is great!!

### 5/5 — Real money and ownership

*2024-09-20, version 1.0*

Best horse racing game because it is for real money and you own your horses. 

You can race, breed, sell, and wager. So many fun ways to play! 

Have you always thought you could manage a stable and breed a Kentucky Derby winner? Well here is your chance.

### 5/5 — Fun game to play

*2024-09-20, version 1.0*

If you’re looking for a game that requires some strategy and medium/long term outlook, has realistic graphics, and is extremely fun to play… look no further, PFL is the game for you. From owning your own stable, to racing, to breeding, this game is as close to a 1:1 real life horse racing economy as it can be. Start off with a free trainer horse to get the hang of the game and then come join the fun in the real money racing!

### 5/5 — Partners with the Kentucky Derby!! Best Horse Racing Game!

*2024-09-20, version 1.0*

I’ve tried out a large number of horse racing games, and nothing comes close to Photo Finish Live. They are partnered with the Kentucky Derby and NBC, and the team has worked on games like Madden and even the creator was the one who came up with the “Hit Stick”. It can be as easy or in depth as you want it to be, and all while you can earn real money. I did invest a lot of time and analysis, but my stable has earned me over $10k and it is increasing as I race and strengthen my bloodline more. 

This game is as real as it gets when it comes to a virtual horse racing economy. You can earn by racing, breeding, wagering, selling, and even get a cut of the other players racing fees by putting your CROWN you earn through racing on one of the tracks. 

Would 100% recommend if you are even the slightest interested. The community is also really strong and willing to help any new player! Just join the discord and start asking questions if you want any sort of help at any time with your stable!

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2024-09-20, version 1.0*

Fun and fair. There are lots of different directions to go in. The races are a blast to watch, the graphics looks great. I beamed my races with screen mirroring and it looked awesome on a big TV.  Lots to figure out but I’m having a blast so far.

### 1/5 — Can’t Play Game

*2026-03-30, version 1.0.4*

I like the game but I can’t get past the create my stable screen so please fix this problem so people can play the game please. Thanks

### 1/5 — Fix it

*2025-09-23, version 1.0.4*

Game hardly can function for five seconds without me having to constantly leave and rejoin it, refreshing is a joke. I have to click things ten times for it to register once.

### 3/5 — Can’t even start

*2026-03-16, version 1.0.4*

I tried to create an account got all the way to my stable name. It creates stable and then it keeps popping up failed Capcha. I didn’t even have a Capcha to pass. Went to support and can’t even get past the support options when I click on them so idk if it’s Good Game or not but Looks Like A Great idea to me if I was able to play or at least attempt to. So my star rating is not going to be accurate.

### 3/5 — Good but not great
