2011 was a great year for virtual horse racing, you'll agree after you've seen Digiturf.com's retrospective!
The year started with a bang... and only got bigger, better and faster for us!
2011 Was All About You!
February 2011
We’ve made a commitment to make 2011 all about you so we encourage you to enter the Track Tabloid’sMeet The Digiturfers Competition. You might even win a goodie bag from the Tack Shop!
Remember, Valentine’s day is just across the tracks and a virtual horse makes a lovely gift! Regards The Digiturf Team
Travert Stables Cleaning Up G3 Races
Travert Stables is cleaning up in G3 racing while the race programmer is cleaning up his G3 program. We’re reluctant to admit this but trainers are using the Request-A-Race function to create more profitable and popular G3 races than the RP’s pre-scheduled races. They’re even getting more runners. Are you any good at requesting & matchingraces?
Maple Leaf Farms Applauds Integrity On Digiturf
Digiturf really is the best online horse racing community, you know it and the rest of the world knows it, but as Maple Leaf Farms explains, it is the collective effort of everyone who conducts themselves with honesty and integrity on Digiturf that makes it one of the strongest communities in the world. Tell us, who’s integrity do you admire?
Track Tabloid Competition: Meet The Digiturfers
Some of the nicest people you could ever meet are your neighbors on Digiturf, so the Track Tabloid is sponsoring an online get-together for the virtual community. Tell us twenty things about yourself and you could be one of ten lucky trainers to win a Tack Shop goodie bag worth $10 filled with blinkers, shoes, gelding, fillies fuel and vitamins.
Interview With The Race Programmer
Shore Stables asked if there really is a race programmer, and being a fair question, as he is the axis of necessary evils in the world of virtual horse racing, we asked him to reveal himself. This is a first on Digi because he really is more elusive than an Enron accountant, but he told us about himself, virtual horse racing- and even posed for a portrait.
Santa Monica’s Triplicious Festival
Expect more aggressive races, promos and sponsorships as the race programmer kick starts 2011 with the triple sponsored Santa Monica Festival. This twelve-day extravaganza includes buy & race promos for all grades, over 30 sponsored races plus two lucky draws worth $250 each. Racing promos are going beyond just racing in 2011!
Can you believe there are thirty days left until the 30th Championship Series?
We have to remind you to ensure that you have enough credits to settle any outstanding stabling fees, reactivate your pending contenders and select your Automatic Stabling Fee (ASF) deduction because rejected horses cannot be re-inserted back into their Finals. And, we’d rather hear about winners than the horses that didn’t run because ‘someone’ forgot to pay their ASF… If you haven’t ‘liked’ us on Facebook yet then you missed Arima Colada created in honor of Arima stables. It’s fresh & summery and kicks like a mule- perfect for both the Santa Anita Extravaganza and celebrating your 30th. Then send us your hooch recipes for celebrating the Championships Series! However you celebrate the 30th Championship Series- remember that we’re cheering for all your horses! Regards The Digiturf.com Team
Why ESPN Loves Digiturf.com
If you’re only as good as the company you keep then all Digiturfers can feel extremely impressed with themselves because ESPN just told their fans how much they love virtual horse racing- namely Digiturf. ESPN is one of the largest broadcasting networks offering the most comprehensive sports coverage in the U.S. of Digi- so while we don’t like to boast… we don’t mind asking you to tweet about it to your friends.
Rookies Rocking The Championships
Austin's Racing has rocketed from being last season’s rookie to become this season’s potential champion in no less than five juvenile championship races. He also has some strong competition from Bunks Racing, Stud Indian Joe and Pecka's Pack who are just three other rookies pinning their hope on winning a Championship Series title before March 2011 is over.
The King Is Dead, Long Live The King
The excitement surrounding the Championship Series belies the unspoken truth that while everyone is amped for another thrilling season of virtual horse racing, there are some horses for which there will be no more races. Champions like King Domination, Ap Terminator, Domination Abi, Flyingdiz, King Domination, Rapscallion and Well Struck will be moving onto pastures greener- but will never be forgotten by their trainers.
Enter the Santa Anita Extravaganza
The race programmer is working especially hard at making the ubiquitous WFA racing promotions a thing of the past. He’s created the extra elaborate and extravagantly sponsored Santa Anita Extravaganza with such lushness you’d swear he was remaking a Rogers & Hammerstein musical complete with easy maidens and wealthy virtual horse owners racing for six days for over $1,000sponsorships. Racing starts on the 1st March.
More Lights, Camera, Raceviewer, Action!
The world is starved of good entertainment, and while the RP is becoming increasingly more consumed with promotional spectacles you can still express yourself creatively and with dignity by editing your favorite Challenge Series videos through the embedded Raceviewer and uploading them online to your Youtube or Facebook profiles. Send us the links and our people will call your people about a horse!
Connect The Dots To Better Races!
June 2011
Hi Subscriber,
We’ve come to the conclusion, after dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, that we are certifiably dotty! The races have been so busy that they’ve literally run us ragged. Everything has been about racing recently, from royal racing, race programming discussions and developmental enhancements but we think it’s all worth the effort if you think so too. See if you can connect the dots through this Tabloid to your next race and win...Best wishes with all your upcoming races! The Digiturf.com Team
Connect The Dots!
Connect the dots and then follow them when entering races to find your horse’s preferred races while it is eligible to enter them. Green dots indicate your previous races while blue dots highlight newer races for your consideration based on your horse’s current eligibility. It’s both smart and simple. Get connected!
Superfecta Champion Goes Viral
Ever since he took the first, second, third & fourth place in last season’s Kentucky Fillies Championship; Chrisman has been on everywhere except on CNN. He’s been featured on ESPN, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter- and who knows where else. Now you can read all about Chrisman in Digiturf.com’s forums!
Five Top Horses According To Black Lotus
When we asked multiple championship winner, Black Lotus, to rate the top five horses on Digiturf.com, he thought we were talking about his horses, except we meant excluding his horses. So, after knocking Sakura (JPN), King Domination and Ap Incredible off the list- who do you think are his next top horses?
The Mad Russian Revelation
The Mad Russian (he’s back again!) sparked an interesting discussion where trainers are talking about their personal lives outside of their stables. It’s an opportunity to get to know the people sharing your virtual community better; and it’s a great way to promote your stable!
Track Tabloid Competition Winners
The last Track Tabloid competition was about meeting the real players in the virtual horse racing community. This month’s competition is about convincing a group of strangers to join the virtual horse racing community in under ten second. You could be one of ten trainers to win a horse- just like the previous winners!

Get Your Sterling Yearlings Now!
August 2011
Hi Subscriber,
Are you prepared for tonight’s Championship Series? We hope so! We also hope you’ve tipped the winners in the $500 Championship Series Tipping Competition and are also taking full advantage of the Yearling Sales. Next season kicks off with a bang because before you’ve concluded this season you need to be prepared for the Maiden Invasions on the 1st August! While there are plenty of surprises lined up for you next season, we hope you take the time to appreciate all your accomplishments this season as much as we have appreciated your continued support for another thrilling season. Without you, virtual horse racing would just be a dream, but thanks to you, you’ve made it a reality; and for that we thank you and wish you and your horses every possible success in the new season! Regards The Digiturf.com Team
Sterling Yearling Sales
Next Season’s Champions are sitting in the Sales Ring waiting to be claimed. The Maiden Invasion races from 1 August to 7 August and the 32nd Championship Series are awaiting your newly acquired steeds. Sterling yearlings even get a head start on the competition with free stabling fees and advance training. It’s not fair but then life isn’t fair- so here’s your unfair advantage on the competition in the Sales Ring.
Maiden Invasion Promos
Will you have enough 2Y horses to race in the Maiden Invasion races next season? The RP is probably putting the cart before the horse because your horses need to be ready to race from first day of the season if you’re going to get 20% of all your entry fees back. Don’t handicap the future successof your stable by waiting when you can train your yearlings today.
$500 Tipping Competition
You can win $500 tipping the winners in the 31st Championships Series. It’s free to enter and the rules are simple: one entry per player and winner takes all. The player/s with the most correct tips wins (or shares!) $500. All you have to do is tip the horses that you think will win their respective Championship Series races. Let’s see if you can really spot a champion!
Virtual Horse Racing Excellence
The Race Programmer’s Equine Awards are awarded to the members whose accomplishments epitomize virtual horse racing excellence. These are the trainers and horses that achieve the highest ideals of virtual horse racing and whose efforts serve as an inspiration for future generations. We also confirm the rookies of the year and the season.
Hold Your Horses, Tonto!
Don’t enter your horses into any races for which they will be ineligible next season, but if you want the unfair advantage on the competition … there aren’t any rules preventing you from entering anyraces for which they are eligible. Your 2 and 3 year olds will only be only be eligible for WFA races but it’s open season for the rest of your stable. Regrettably, all 7Y horses will be ineligible for next season’s races.
With the first quarter of this season behind us, you know it’s going to be another hectic season of fast races and closer finishes as trainers prepare themselves for more runs, higher earnings and better runs/wins percentages. It doesn’t matter where you races horses, provided you race them to their best of their ability- and you race them to win. There is a race for every horse in this horse racing community- because we know every horse is raceable when you establish their grade and preferences.
This season is all about racing. So, if we can create bigger, better, faster races for you- let us know. Best wishes for all your September races! Regards The Digiturf.com Team

They said we’d never last, 10 years later 535,000 races
$18,810,000 stakes - guess we’re all having the last laugh!
The Digiturf.com Team
Virtual horse racing was so competitive last year that it probably needed a higher age restriction because no one was horsing around with their horses or earnings. Fortunately, no one was hurt but we know you’re not going to slow down in 2012, so the best we can do is wish you every possible equestrian success in 2012! The Digiturf.com Team
