This will notify the channel of the current Trifecta jackpot able to be won.

Many believe the time between races is simply too long and with casino providing little fun, IRCHorse has introduced favourite numbers! After every race, an announcement will sound that a new Favourite Numbers game will begin in two minutes. Players can buy up to three numbers between 1 and 30, selecting their own or have them randomly chosen. Once time is up, the bot will then randomly select five numbers between 1 and 30, if you've got one of those numbers, you'll win seven times the number price! Number price changes every game and ranges from $5000 each to $50,000 each.

These commands allow you to look up the breeding of old horses, view their retirement date and view their achievements. Stud search will allow a user to view all current horses in the competition that are bred from a particular runner

Allows you to bet a certain amount on a horse that is competing in that race. W stands for a win bet, P stands for a place bet and doing W and P together results in an each-way bet (costs double, counts as one bet). You can also do !bet M <amount> for a mystery bet.

If you've had a win, just like any TAB, they don't just give you the money you need to claim it. To do this you use the !claim command followed by the ticket number you are given when you made your bet.

If you make a mistake, before the running of the race, you may clear your bet and have your money refunded.

You can now place quinella bets, allowing you to choose two horses in any order. Unlike a trifecta, you will receive a calculated dividend that will be announced during the results, ignorant of how many people have successfully won the quinella. For example, if you bet 1000 on a quinella, and the dividend pays 30/1, you have won yourself $30,000. Maximum quinella bet is the same as the bet maximum. Quinella bets cannot be cleared.

See if you can guess 1st, 2nd, 3rd in order! Cost of this bet is $1000. Every time a bet is placed by any user the jackpot increases by $5000.

Line Betting is betting that one horse will beat another over the line first. You can challenge a nick to a Line Bet for a certain amount and they have the choice whether or not to accept. If they do, who ever chooses the horse that finishes over the line first is victorious. If you want to open the offer to anyone, you can type !hvh <amount> OPEN <horse>

Only 1 user can accept each Line Bet! Turf Club takes 5% commission on all line bets, so if you get bet $50,000 and win - you get $97,500 back ($50,000 x 1.95)

If you have the amount required to purchase the horse, then do so using this command. Your name will appear in the owner information section of the horses profile.

Providing that there is a LOT (A Foal Space) available, you may use this command to breed a new horse. It will randomly decide the Stallion (father) and the Dam and will charge the Lot Price. You can use !lots to work out the current price and whether there is room available to breed a new horse. You may submit a name request for your new horse, and the horse will be born in 24 hours, but will have to be trained using the !train command which will also cost a substancial amount.

If you own a horse and believe it is good enough to win one of the Cup races (and it has passed all the race requirements) then nominate it for the next major race!

There are six jockeys for you to choose from to ride your horse, each with their own characteristics and having positive and negative points about them, relating to price, skill and weight. Visit the Getting Started page of this website to read about their characteristics.

For tactical reasons again, it may not be beneficial for your sprinter to run over long distance races or for your stayer to be running over the short courses. For this reason you can restrict your horse by setting a minimum and a maximum distance, for example by ensuring that it only races in races between 900m to 1600m and therefore giving itself a better chance of winning each race. Minimum is 900m, Maximum is 3200m.

If your horse is floating in and out of Metropolitan races and continuously getting beaten, then perhaps he would be better suited spending time in the Provincial circuit where he has a better chance of winning. If you're horse is in excellent form and you want to maximise his earnings, then locking him into the Metro circuit will ensure he races in only the highest prizemoney races. You can now also restrict your horse to two classes to better manage wins and weight, without restricting your horse and therefore not racing enough. This can be achieved by !setclass Metropolitan-Provincial <horse> and !setclass Provincial-Rural <horse>

For tactical reasons it might be an idea to rest your horse - for every 15 minutes a horse is set to NO, he will regain 1% in freshness and after returning to 100% or an improved level, he or she will improve in performance. Also Weight advantage/cash flow problems etc. By setting their Active status to No, a horse will not run. If you choose to retire your horse, then you'll be eligible for their foal. Horses will automatically be statused YES at the start of a new season.

Allows you to change the status for all your horses, providing they are not injured.

Call a doctor to the stable to uninjure your horse! Cost is a few hundred thousand and there is no guarantee your horse will actually be uninjured. In fact he might uninjure another players horse! But desperate times call for desperate measure and with a Group race approaching, it might be your only hope! (!doctor fee for the current fee)

This will allow you to check the freshness or the fatigue of your horse and make a decision on whether to rest them. To check all your horse's fatigue at once you can use !stablefatigue, without having to access the information from !stables.

An alternative to keep your horse up and running and in a fresh state, is to increase its fatigue through the use of the Air Barrack Chamber. Allowing a horse to access this technology costs a pretty penny, however when a horse is in good form or you're itching to get them back on the track this could be the best way!

When you've really become a success, you'll have the option to upgrade your stables. From the beginning of the game you will be allowed to own 1 horse. You can upgrade your stables to the following tiers for the following prices. You must buy bronze, silver, gold, platinum, titanium, emerald, diamond, rhodium and topaz sequencially.

• Bronze - $5mil - two horses
• Silver - $10mil - three horses
• Gold - $20mil - four horses
• Platinum - $30mil - five horses
• Titanium - $40mil - six horses
• Emerald - $50mil - seven horses
• Diamond - $60mil - eight horses
• Rhodium - $70mil - nine horses
• Topaz - $80mil - ten horses
