Virtual Horse Racing - Even better than the real thing! How to get involved in Getminted Racing

If you are new to Getminted Racing and are wondering how do I get my own horse and indeed stable then its easy! The first thing to do as you may have done already is to log onto Getminted Racing , the site is easy to use and informative and will point you in the right direction.

New owners must register their details before purchasing their first horse which is free. Once you have that horse it's up to you to maximise its performance and hopefully get minted! You get to name your horse, choose it's gender and age. Then you design the silks, usually best done by a lady since some of our mensfolk's silks look a tad horrific!

Once you feel your virtual horse is ready to race having trained him/her over different types of going and distance you must nominate it in a race. Choose the race carefully, there is no point entering a new horse in a race with experienced ones who have perfected their style. Then sit back, watch sky channel 235's Getminted programme and cross your fingers!

Punters should visit the Getminted website as well. Here you will see like with other bookies etc you can register giving your details before opening up an account. Then you scroll through the racecard before deciding which horse you want to have a flutter on. The amount you wish to flutter is deducted from your account and winnings added to it. Many punters prefer choosing an outsider to perform well rather than opt for dead cert favourites at short odds.

The very best of luck to new owners and punters alike! Look below for tonight's tips!
