Halloween Hooves is here!

Barricade your stables, undead horses are on the loose!

Halloween is here and to celebrate, you can turn your favourite horse into a creature of the night to race in Halloween countries... 

To enter the races, select a Jack-O-Lantern treat from the Shop to put a zombie, ghost or vampire curse on your horse. 

Qualify for the Halloween Cup by winning a zombie, ghost or vampire race in the previous hour, and enter the Cup race for a chance to win the stylish and exclusive Jack-O-Lantern saddle (adds +2 strength and +2 endurance to your horse's stats) and remove the curse from your horse.

Free candy treats are also available in the shop - these will cure any curse on your horse and boost its happiness! BUT be aware that you will not be able to turn your horse undead while the treat is active (10 training sessions).  

May the best ghoul win!

Elite Cups

Since the update we have been monitoring player activity in the Elite, Champion and Open rooms, specifically regarding race qualifying for Elite Cups. 

The idea behind Elite Cups is that they are challenging, yet achievable for both casual and hardcore players.   They should also encourage players to race in Elite Countries to get a better indication of their horses’racing performance against similar pedigree horses.

As a result of this analysis, we have concluded that the current qualifying prize money requirement for entry into Elite Cups is not sufficient.  To resolve this issue we have raised the qualifying prize money requirement from $5 million to $60 million.  This change to qualifying will provide the scaling level of challenge that was intended in the Elite Countries and represent an appropriate reward for racing effort.
