William what level are you playing at??? I started playing at the hard level & boy is it hard to get the horses to win. To get the horse out of the gates smoothly one needs to stop the two arrows moving in opposite direction as close as possible to each other & it is not easy to settle the horse. When the horse is under pressure or weakening it tilts its head on the side & starts to bear. Guess I better switch to the easy or normal level & win a few races first. Racing is more realistic.
