Maiden races - these races are for horses that have never won a race.
Allowance races - these are for horses that have won a maiden but are not strong enough to run the stakes grade (there may or may not be conditions on these races see FAQ((ie: NW-1-NW-3)))
Claiming Races - (if i use them) These races are in between Maiden and Allowance races, the horses entered in these races can be claimed for a fee by the first person to bid on them, so beware if you enter a claimer you may lose your horse to another player.
Stakes races Graded and unGraded- These are high stakes races, they are for the cream of the crop.
Example, Kentucky derby, Dubai races, Preakness, Belmont, etc. There are fees for these races, so make sure your horse is capable of running in them. The grades are
1 (highest),2, 3, & ungraded is the lowest.
GRADE 1 RACES REQUIRE NOMINATIONS AND A FEE A WEEK IN ADVANCE BEFORE THE RACE, AND AN ENTRY FEE THE DAY BEFORE
