Introduction
Have you ever wished that you could own your own race
horse? Have you watched races and wished that it was your horse that was flying under the
finish line and walking into the winner's circle? Well, we can't get you a real
Thoroughbred but we might be able to offer you the next best thing: Web Runners, a
Computer Fantasy Racing Club. We have been racing since 1996 and have had a lot of
fun. We run races weekly, have stakes races and championships, breed our own horses, and
hold 2 auctions, Spring which is for breeding stock, racers and young stock & a Fall
which is for coming 2 year olds. If you're interested in
starting a stable, contact The Racing
Steward to get your name on our waiting list, but be prepared for a
wait.
Each new stable has $200,000 for buying stock and to cover the
cost of entry fees and/or breeding fees. Now once you get your horse, you will get his
pedigree which will have his vital information and a GOT (Grumpy Old Trainer's report).
The rest of the information you will find out about him/her as you race in different
races. Below is a sample of what you can expect for information on your horse
[Runner Information][Entry
Format]
All stats are rolled up by a computer program called Stretch Drive that was developed by Charles
Schultz of Pa. This is all done randomly. Each horse is given a file number and that
number is entered into the computer when the horse is to be raced. The computer then
decides who is the winner of the race. Races are either flat or steeplechase and are from
5 furlongs up to 12 furlongs (1 1/2 miles). Results are then printed in a race forum
format listing placings and distance.
This is how the races are recorded. The top row is in quarters
such as 1/4 pole, 1/2 pole etc. Then we have the horses themselves and how they are ranked
at each quarter. In this race we have Mari's Glory leading by a length over Witching Hour.
She keeps that distance all the way to the wire. The track for this race is slow but it
can be fast, Good, Slow or Wet/Sloppy. Lastly is the winning time i.e 1 minute 19 seconds
and 1 tenth. We tried to add a little bit about each race but with so
many entries, that sometimes isn't possible due to time.

Winning Time: 119.1 |
Mari's Glory stayed just enough in front to tease her competition
as she led from wire to wire.
After each race, keep track of your
races and points for your horses. We keep a general sheet but it is each
owners responsibility to keep track of his own horses.
As you can see, it isn't as complicated as it looks at first. We
hope that you will join us for another year of racing at WEB RUNNERS.
