Anyone going to have a flutter on this?

Surely it will be fixed?

Potentially. Fixed by who though?

The software developers apparently input data into each horse (weight, previous form, favourable conditions) and then run the race.

I've seen virtual horse racing on Sky Bet before but unsure in general if the expected results are consistent or not

Would be better if it was that game where you throw balls to make the horse go faster like I'm Blackpool

Are they taken bets on the first horse that has to be put down?

Yes I just saw that all profits will be going to the NHS.

Played £10 on favourite (Tiger Roll) and a few £1 e/w bets. Will be watching later on!

Are the names the actual horses that were due to run of just randomly named?

If so I'll have £10 on Shergar ridden by Lord Lucan to be winning at a canter before falling and disappearing at the final fence, with HoofHearted as an e/w.

Missed it. I hope no virtual horses were injured.

Reminds me of the filmed races they had at Butlins in the 1960s.
