Important Note for This Playtest
This playtest is designed around playing a full first season.
To help you test more freely:
- You will start with a Maiden-level horse
- You will receive extra in-game funds to allow you to buy stronger horses
- All horses can enter all races, regardless of level or category
This setup is temporary and only for testing purposes.
From the second season onward, you may notice balancing issues or unfinished systems, as ongoing development may affect later progression.
