### 4/5 — Fundamental flaw

*2026-08-14, version 1.095*

Really really enjoy this game! Been looking for something exactly like this for a while. 

The breeding and process of selecting the best horses is great, Im really enjoying how hard it is to win the big races. Makes the game exciting when you get a group 1 as those horses don’t come every year. 

Annoyingly there is one thing thats happened to me a few times in big races. 

I’m doing a jumps save and have lost the Cheltenham Gold cup twice to horses that ran in a different group 1 race the day day before…. 

One of them even WON BOTH! This needs to be changed as losing out of the Gold Cup by 1/2 a length to a horse than won a grade one the day before made me want to delete the game and never play again!!!!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-09, version 1.095*

Love the game but could be more realistic but still great

### 3/5 — Jockey bookings

*2026-08-02, version 1.095*

Recently it doesn’t let you use your retained rider for some reason I have reported this however in doing so I’ve lost all my saves across the game which is disappointing hopefully it’s just a small bug and can be fixed

### 1/5 — Waste of time as progress doesn’t save

*2026-07-28, version 1.095*

Spent a few hours on this, building up a stable and breeding base.. multiple G1 guineas winning stallion, load game up again and it has all overwritten with a new game, all progress lost. Waste of time

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-05-26, version 1.095*

Prefer the old versions . This one too fiddly

### 4/5 — 日本語版あったらもっと売れる

*2026-05-24*

英語版しかないのがもったいない。
日本には既に競馬ゲームが受け入れられてる環境があるので、日本語版出したら売り上げも伸びると思う。
私も英語はそこまで得意じゃないので、もっと楽しむために日本語版が欲しいと感じてます。
是非よろしくお願いします。

### 1/5 — Hi this is Kieran

*2026-04-16, version 1.095*

Pay for starters orders 7 to return to iPads in the uk or I’ll stop playing your other games

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-17, version 1.093*

Breeding doesn’t work when
You try to drag your mares on to the stallion to breed a new horse it doesn’t light up

### 5/5 — Help jumps

*2026-01-30, version 1.091*

Need a manager who can mange your horses races when you have too many in your stable takes way too long and how do you even know what distance there good at.

### 5/5 — Hope things improve

*2026-01-23, version 1.091*

Jan 2025. Really enjoyed this game but sadly text-to-speech has been disabled as i understand some people were having issus with ios 26 - personally it worked fine for me. Without this it detracts from the racing and also no longer get notified of runners on each day. For some reason there is also no longer jockey feedback after races. Really should be 5 star but these issues really spoil the game. Hopefully they can fix this in the short term. UPDATE: Text-to-Speech issue solved, well done to developers for quick fix.
