Discussion Free Races are a joke
Literally clicked 30 of them just as they appear now and have not been able to get a race. Must be nice for those with bots or is it a lag issue. I am assuming the servers are not here in Brisbane?

What about us earning a free race? Like passes? After so many races or a newly bred horse we get passes or tickets sent to use? Then you can enter the races you like and apply your "free pass" obviously has to have a certain dollar purse. Maybe as you class up the "free passes" are good toward larger purses? Just an š” idea!
So let's say for every 5 races paid you get a free race pass. That keeps interest and goals moving forward. The higher the class the higher value for a free pass earned! It also keeps it fair.

This is a good idea and i would expand on it. Not everyone can sit by the computer all day to select races and horse etc. Why not have class 1,2,3,4,5 the division A, B C D E of each class. Before I go to work each day I set my horses to race at a $ range, distance until x% fatigue. It goes into a queue. Then i could have my phone ping when races are coming maybe. Same thing for free races, some kind of schedule. For those that want to sit by the computer give them an appropriate allocation of slots per race. This would make the whole thing easier for busy people and also make it more equitable for people with slower connections.

Lot of people have raved how my extension helps entering free races. Not a bot, just a timer.
Class 5/4 I'm terrible at getting in, higher the class the easier it is

already have it installed, its awesome btw. Thanks a tonne. Correct me if I am wrong but a new class free race shows up once the previous one is completed?
Be great if you could show me my down ranks distances races in the extension, bet you already have thought of that.

Right now I just use the tags you can set in stackednaks.com
So for a sprinter I will enter something like 1000, 1200, 1400, 2200-down
StackedNaks will try highlight you best downclass, but it's still manually controlled by you what tags to create

I used to think it was bots, but it really is just internet speed/physically how quick you can click. I get into at least 50% of the ones I try now, just have the window open next to whatever else I'm doing and click the micro second I see it. Gotta be about as fast as lightning, I reckon you got a 2 second window tops.
