How do I set up a training regime for a long distance race horse that
will win me money on the virtual horse racing game of Unreal Racing at
http://www.unrealracing.com?

I have already tried the supplied hard training routine, however I
also
think there may be better routines for specific distances than the
defaults
UnrealRacing supplies. I also think that feeding may play a large part
in
creating a winning horse. Any answer to this would be greatly
appreciated.

Hey leighb-ga,

I'm delighted to see your question because I've been racing on
unrealracing for a couple months now.  What I like about it most is
how realistic the results are.  My family has been breeding horses for
a couple decades now, so we know our horses.  I moved out East though,
so I'm away from our horses.

Like you, I was also troubled with the long distance races. 
Especially because I had found moderate success with the short races. 
Then I discovered sand rolls.  Don't laugh (not a lot of sand on the
family farm) -- sand rolls really seem to help me (or the horse)!

Personally, feeding did not help a lot.  I tried their default
regimen, and a couple others.  None of them raised the results,
significantly, but one brought them down by about 8%.

Lol, I don't know how you train a 'virtual' horse, but if it had been
an answer about real horses, I would have been able to help!
