OVERVIEW / SCHEDULE
Racing is, for obvious reasons, one of the most important parts of the game. The ultimate goal of any owner, trainer, or jockey is to see that horse cross the finish line - preferably.. ahead of everyone else.

Racing is done on a weekly basis, with each week rolling over on Fridays at 9:00pm CT. The weekly schedule is outlined as follows:
★ Friday:
- 9:00pm CT - ROLLOVER; conditioning limits reset, drain is applied, etc.
- Fields are posted for the previous week's entries. Betting opens for the posted fields. See more about betting here.
- * Entries are technically open for the new week starting Friday, although it is advised to wait until after results!
★ Saturday:
- Betting remains open to players while admins begin rolling results.
- This is a good time to condition your horses for the upcoming week while waiting for results.
★ Sunday:
- Betting closes at 9:00pm CT.
- Shortly after betting closes, results are posted.
- Results are added to the "Records" tab, prize money is handed out, and bets are paid.
- Leaderboard is updated in the #leaderboard channel.
★ Monday - Friday:
- Entries remain open for the week (until 9:00pm CT on Friday). Then, the schedule simply repeats!
