There wasn't a better victory in the Belmont Stakes than when Ruler on Ice came first with a 24-1 shot of winning. For many people, the closest they get to experiencing that thrill of racing horses is when they're watching it on TV, but not for trainers like Chrisman and Black Lotus, who celebrated their own personal Belmont Championship victories at Digiturf.com.
Digiturf.com is an international skill-based strategy game that simulates real-life horse racing in 3D animation, with particular attention to popular American championship races, while upholding the time-honored traditions of owning, training and racing thoroughbred horses in high stakes championship races. It's not easy training a thoroughbred horse, as Ruler On Ice's trainer Kelly J. Breen could attest, but Chrisman and Black Lotus would also agree that while challenging, winning their virtual Belmont championship races wasn't any easier nor less exciting than if their horses had been competing alongside Ruler on Ice in the Belmont stakes.
The Belmont championship was the conclusion of Digiturf.com's $7,000 Virtual Triple Crown Championships, which included the Kentucky Stakes Championship and Preakness Stakes Championship, and was the highlight of the virtual horse racing community. This is the ideal opportunity for Digiturf.com players to train their horses to compete against the best horses in the virtual horse racing community through 22 qualifiers over three distances to earn the distinction of becoming a virtual horse racing champion. The title is a prestigious one but the $7,000 sponsorships probably don't hurt either.
While Belmont is known as the "Test of the Champion," Digiturf.com is known as the "Test of Trainers," because ultimately it is a game of skill and strategy. Trainers are required to train their horses to ascertain their ideal racing preferences (evidently virtual horses are equally temperamental as their live counterparts) and also to race them strategically in order to win as much money without incurring penalties or handicaps in future races. It's not easy being a virtual horse trainer but then racing real life horses isn't any easier or more rewarding either. But if you wanted to step into the saddle, Digiturf.com offers all new trainers the opportunity to train and race their horses for free before jumping into the more competitive Grade 1 and Grade 2 races for virtual horses.
This is probably the best time to join Digiturf.com, as they're planning for their next championship season worth approximately $300,000. In the interim you get to learn the intricacies of racing virtual horses before spending any money. We also have it on good authority that the yearling sales are due to be announced in July, which gives you an opportunity to buy your horses ahead of the new season so you can get a head start in training your horses to be ready to race on the first day of Digiturf.com's 32nd virtual horse racing season starting on Aug. 1, 2011.
You might never realize your dreams of owning a real-life race horse but you can take consolation in the fact that anyone can race horses at Digiturf.com -- and the first horse is always free!
