Buy Starters Orders Touch Horse Racing PC key

Starters Orders Touch Horse Racing is a horse-racing management game for PC, with a new interface and an updated simulation engine. You manage a stable, enter horses in races, hire staff and make breeding decisions. The game includes Japanese and French modes, a trainer-only mode with AI owners, and an Xlarge mode that increases the game size, horse pools and maximum meetings per day.

Manage your stable

You can hire staff from a shared global pool, including AI trainers. Staff have individual parameters and roles that affect stable operations; some roles let you delegate tasks. Staff may move between employers. An assistant trainer can handle training automatically, either across your stable or for selected horses, and you can invite certain horses you do not own to paid gallop trials.

Player-bred horses can be kept in a global stable. Breeding with Legends is allowed, with very high fees, and a new yearling score at birth can indicate future potential. Stud fees account for dynamic AEI rankings. Hardcore mode uses the SO7 breeding model; turning it off balances that model’s progression difficulty against the older, less challenging breeding model. Easy mode is the default on mobile.

Races and betting

The game includes updated schedules and races, with combined UK and Ireland schedules, two or three daily meetings in the mobile schedule, and non-feature races. Graded Novice and Juvenile feature races are included, while Listed Handicaps have been replaced by Premiere Handicaps; G3 Jumps handicaps are also Premiere Handicaps. Race fields, race sequences, weather, trainer entries and horse career progression have been revised, alongside improvements to race realism and jockey pace decisions. A simplified auction provides a single way to buy horses.

You can place win and place bets, including Pre-race Doubles, Trebles, Trixie, Yankee and Lucky 15 multiples. French-style race and horse ratings are available through the trainer menu. The game also provides a trainer-only mode with AI owners, and an Xlarge mode that expands the game’s size, horse pools and maximum meetings per day.

Horses and jockeys

The simulation includes updated trainers and jockeys, with portraits used throughout. Default AI-generated faces can be replaced using an editor on all platforms, and trainer and jockey names can also be edited. Jockeys have fitness and strength parameters that can affect their riding, usually in the finish; fitness may fluctuate with profile parameters. Jockeys can suffer mild injuries and fitness setbacks, and their icon flashes during a race when they are tired.

Horse maturity, championship and ranking data have been improved. You can view recent trainer and jockey statistics for the current racecourse on the race menu, and fancied runners receive form hints based on Collateral Form. Notifications can cover changes in top horse categories, trainers, jockeys, stallions and gallop winners, as well as notable newly retired Group 1 winners and key horses in the day’s sales. Notifications for top horse categories can be configured, and category-change alerts can be turned off.

Schedules and tools

The game adds player scores, with bonuses earned throughout play; leaderboards may be available depending on the platform. Newspaper-style summaries sometimes appear before big group races. A legendary horse editor is included, along with a global stable for player-bred horses. New 2D horse and jockey animations and textures accompany an increase in available silks from 30 to 126. Race distances and form descriptions support metres and furlongs, with decimal and fractional options.
