Welcome all to the introduction of 'The Racetrack' to secundi. A racing and breeding based adoptable. You may want to breed the next champion, or maybe race the next champion...possibly even both? This is where it will all begin!

Currently as we get started, horses of different colours and sizes will be available to claim for FREE, yes FREE! No it is not because they aren't so good on the racetrack, they don't have duds for genes, it's to be able to get some horse out there, get everyone racing and starting their own breeding barn! So what are you waiting for? :D



please allow me to just reserve a few posts to get us started :D

All credit goes to myself (Wild_as_thunder) for all artwork, including, lineart, shading, colouring and cert as well as ownership!

In future there may be colourists hired, but for now, i am colouring them myself. :)

If you are unsure about the branding, breeding and racing, please don't hesitate to click on the thread banner on the first post, all is explained on the site. ;) if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! ;D

Enjoy <3



Because it is rather time consuming trying to send PM's to each user after certing, a post on the thread will be made instead to announce that the certed horses have been added to the owners album. To collect the codes for your horses, all you need to do is go to the owners album below an select your username. All horses and items will be in your own album. ;)

So...i'm sure you are all ready for some racing, yeah? Well....as there are quite a few horses out there already, i thought why not have a few sets of races! How about it!


So how races are run, are through you entering your horse or horses, paying the enterance fee to enter. When you enter your horse into the race, you need to fill out the form, that way they can be placed into the right races. Now...as these are the first races for everyones horses, there winnings ratios are all 1:99...meaning they have a chance of winning 1 in 99 races. So via this, everyones horses are placed in once in the random.org list. The more your horse races, the better ratio your horses will get, meaning your horses name will be placed in multiple times depending on what ratio. Thus giving your horses a higher chance in a race. Only the one name out of the few put in that has the highest ranking. (example, a horse called 'Midnight'was entered in 5 times, the name placed '3rd, 6th, 8th and 9th.' Only the name that placed highest, meaning '3rd'is the official placing.

Not completely sure and following? please let me know and i'll try my best to explain it differently. :).

Races are taking place at....Oakview Hills Racecourse!



Entrance Fee
The Entrance fee is only 100SG, all entrance fees paid go towards the winnings. 1st place gets a larger ratio of the winnings, 2nd gets slightly lower than the 1st and 3rd gets a smaller ratio than 1st and 2nd.

Form to enter
All you need to do to enter your horse in a race is fill out this form.

So...I am sure you are all interested in customs....right? ;D Yay!! Well...today was my last day of school for this year....so that means 8 WEEKS HOLIDAYS!! yay!...also meaning....more time to spend on The Racetrack.....meaning....Customs!! Whoot!

So.....all you need to do is followed the rules and instructions and i'm sure...all will go down smoothly!! How about it!

So i thought i would be kinda and do some FREE customs slots first up...so the first set of slots are Free! No payment needed, just so we can get off to a nice smooth start, after that a low fee will be added for slots open later. ;) So be quick to claim your slot aye!


Few rules
-You may only claim ONE free slot. After the free slots are taken and news ons are added with the low fees, you may claim as many slots as you like, as long as you can pay it ;)
-Please NO arguing who got what slot, it's a slot, all have the same effect. Also, first come first serve. If there is one slot left, the one to first post for that last slot gets it, it's fair and square.
-Have Fun!!
-If you have claimed a slot with a fee, please make sure to send payment as soon as possible. I won't accept the payment until the horse is sent to you :)

(i'll add more rules if i need be, just trying to think of more XD)


How to claimed a slot etc..
To claim a slot all you need to do is Post in bold 'May i please claim a slot.'easy and simple as that, nothing differcult.
Once you have posted to claim the slot, you may edit that post with your form or post another post with your form.
Before you add your form, make sure to check that your someone who has posted within the number limit of slots, that way you can determine if you got a slot or not, Unless the post is edited withyour name beside the slot, if i am online. If you didn't quite get one, you'll just need to wait till next round. ;)

ENJOY <3

Wild_as_thunder

All certed :) click on the album link in 'Pick-ups' to collect what may be yours via going to your own album. Sorry i am unable to send Individual PM's to each person, but it does get rather time consuming. It's much easier via this way. :) thankyou and hope you all enjoy :D

Wild_as_thunder

He has been added to your own album on the PB account Ravvana :D click on the link in Pick-ups ;)

hope you like him! ;)

Ravvana

Yay, thank you! I love him :D I'm a total sucker for yearlings <3

At some point, will he automatically grow up, or will there be some sort of item I'll need to acquire to grow him? I assume that my wee little colt should not be entering races, unless I enjoy crippling baby animals XD

Wild_as_thunder

Glad you like him :D

as for growing up, at the moment it is still being decided. I'm thinking an item may be an option to get them to grow up. But i may just have that they grow up within a month or 2 maybe. And if teh second option is decided, they will be automatically grown, so you don't have to worry about collecting links for the image etc, it'll just update ;)

more will be up soon ;) as well as a few races to get started!

Fearless

Sorry! I tend to not notice other people :P

How about "33" is that okay? It's my favorite numberrr :D


Wild_as_thunder

Fearless, he is all certed. Just check out your album in the PB album via the link in the pick-ups. All codes for him are there ;)

Gah >.< i just realised i certed the wrong horse XDurrently fixing that, sorry fearless :P

red_uni387


Math

Will bribes be open? I'd pay 50k Secunds and 50k PG for a custom stallion, he'd be modeled after my love aka the adorable pony JD. XD

I love JD, though I've only ridden him once (my instructor wanted me to test him out for her, I felt so special!) and he really has shown a liking towards me lately. He gives me kisses and eats/licks away at any part of me. XD

Wild_as_thunder

Don't worry Red_uni, more wll be up this afternoon ;) got to go to school today, its the last day, 'so more will be up once i get home.

Math, once i get hom ethis afternoon i may be putting customs up anyway ;)

Math

What time? I'll be up until past 1:00 PI time. :) I'll have to try to grab a custom of JD, he comes from an abusive past :( though luckily, my instructor bought him off his old owners, and he's just a joy to be around... I have to say, he gives great horse kisses! I hope Laura lets me ride him again soon. ;)


Wild_as_thunder

Ummm it'll be sometime around 5-7:00 PI time and around 23:00-0:00 Secundi time ;)

Math

Crud. I'll be in bed. :-\

Could someone get me a slot? You would just need to get it, I would pay for it. :)

YourLoveOnly

Same here.. If it's allowed, could someone grab me a slot?
It'll be 6 AM over here by that time..

If not, I'll just have to stalk and get one later ^^

Ravvana

Ooh, I should be here then :D I'm wondering how my lazy bum of a Dutch Warmblood would like being made into a custom racehorse XDD

Math

I'd pay someone to snag me a slot, if that gives someone reason to. :)

hiyoko

I could grab someone a slot, that's only 9pm my time. :D

Fearless

Watty I love these ^.^

I want a bazillion more, and I want you to move them onto PI :D

Picture to Burn
