Is ultrasound coming for virtual horses at Digiturf.com?

Ultrasound for Virtual Horses

Notwithstanding the fact that it’s impossible to get a filly knocked up on Digiturf.com but there’s a persistent misconception that if horses were allowed to have “virtual relations” then they could breed some kind of monster horse. This is simply not true.

Firstly, no one could afford the time because a real filly gestates for 11 months, which means a virtual filly would require an entire racing season to foal. There’s no way she could produce a healthy foal within in a shorter period of time; and it would be inhumane to shorten their development time just because they’re virtual horses - they can’t be expected to breed like tadpoles! 

Then there are the financial implications for the owner who can’t race his filly for an entire season. Consider how much trainers are prepared to pay for champions in the auctions before asking them to let you breed your horses with their champion filly? Or more realistically, how much would you expect to be compensated for a little colt on filly action - the kind of action that puts your filly out of action for an entire season. 

Finally, there are no guarantees that a virtual filly could carry a foal to full term without complications. True to real-life breeding, genetics are also subject to random variables. Two G1 thoroughbreds could produce some G3 monster or a recessive gene throws out a mule. The Tack Shop can help with virtual vitamins and bullets but they can’t perform an ultrasound. Time wasted, money lost and someone still needs to buy the bullet. 

These are things which would never happen in the Sales Ring, a reputable institution with over ten-years’ experience supplying quality horses to the virtual horse racing community at Digiturf.com’s, where every horse is raceable (when trained properly) and you know that you’re getting a competitive G1, G2 or G3 horse that is free of disease or genetic imperfections. 

This is especially true of the yearling sale. You know you’re getting colts and fillies but don’t know anything about their innate abilities? The yearling sale is like ultrasound for virtual race horses. You get your horses prematurely so that you can train them over all tracks, distances and goings. You don’t even need to wait for their second birthday to know how they’re going to perform in their first race. While checking they’ve all got four hooves and one tail you can also train them so they’re fighting fit and race ready for the new season. You wouldn’t want to hold your juveniles back in life so buy them as yearlings and train them to be strong! 

We know this is an unexpected surprise but the yearling sale starts today.

Everybody knows that yearlings are the best financial investment any trainer who is serious about virtual horse racing can make when it comes to building a competitive stable. You can start training them the minute you get them so that they’re ready to race from the first day of the new season. They get a head start in virtual racing and they get it free because their first stabling fee will only be due in September 2012, e.g. a yearling bought on 12 July 2012 won’t have a stabling fee due on 12 August 2012, then if still unraced thereafter it will have a US$2.00 stabling fee due on 12 September 2012. 

Technically, this means you get to keep your yearlings for free: yearlings eat for free, train for free, and sleep for free on Digiturf.com. That’s because you should spend as much time training your yearlings until they drop because next season they are going to be kept on their hooves running in some of the most competitive races ever seen on Digiturf.com! 

Get your yearlings today, and prepare them for the upcoming Maiden Juvenile Championships in the new 35th Season!
