Welcome to the ‘Live User Simulation’ of Fantasy Trader, which will run for the duration of the Symposium on Racing & Gaming held in Tucson, Arizona. You are invited to register and use the site during this period.

Fantasy Trader allows you to experience simulated fractional racehorse ownership using a notional $15,000* automatically credited to your account when you register. This is not real money but it will allow you to buy and sell shares and build up a fantasy portfolio of global bloodstock assets.

League tables allow you to see how well you are performing compared to other fantasy traders and a Groups facility enables you and your friends to establish trading Groups and compete against all other Groups.

If an owner has not yet been tempted to sell their shares you can ‘tease’ them out and make them an offer to buy into their horse. Opinions between buyers and sellers about the value of any horse will differ initially but within minutes a match can occur and a correct fantasy valuation for the horse will be established. Once the first matched trade takes place between any buyer and seller the value of the horse will constantly fluctuate based on market forces.

We are very excited about Fantasy Trader and we want to share it with you before the site goes fully live in early 2009. Register today and you can start using the site straight away, as well as receive launch update notices prior to the full launch.

Watch out for new features in the coming weeks, such as the exciting new ‘Syndicate Play’ facility.
