Race Classes
Below are the race classes your horses can participate in, along with their descriptions. The HANDICAP score assigned in each class determines which class you will move up to or remain in for your next race.
First Run Class
- • This class is for foals that have never competed in an official race.
- • Based on your finishing position in the first race, you receive a HANDICAP score and advance to Class V for your next race.
Maiden
- • Races open only to horses that have never won first place.
- • After First Run, any foal may choose to compete in Maiden races or go directly to Class V.
Class V
- • For horses with HANDICAP scores between 0 and 40.
- • Foals that graduate from First Run are assigned a HANDICAP score upon entering Class V.
Class IV
- • For horses with HANDICAP scores between 41 and 60.
- • Eligible only for Class IV races; horses with inconsistent performance may be demoted to lower classes.
Class III
- • For horses with HANDICAP scores between 61 and 80.
- • May be relegated to a lower class if performance is inconsistent.
Class II
- • For horses with HANDICAP scores between 81 and 99.
- • Qualifies for Group races; may be demoted if performance declines.
Class I
- • The top-level class for horses with HANDICAP scores of 100 and above.
- • Eligible for Group races; may be demoted if performance drops.
Your race results in each class update your HANDICAP score and determine your class placement for future races. Best of luck!
Choosing Your Horses
Before purchasing your first horse, there are two key factors you should consider: 1) Bloodline and 2) Rarity
1. Bloodline
In Horse Run, there are four distinct bloodlines, each with its own traits, origins, and legends. Just like in the real world, a horse's bloodline forms the foundation of its performance. However, it's only one part of the equation — every horse performs differently across various track types and distances.
SOLARIS
Origin & Legend
Geography: Solar Plains — vast steppes bathed in sunlight for most of the year, with slightly gravelly yet fertile soil.
Legend: It is said that centuries ago, some horses were blessed by the sacred light of Helios, the Sun God. Their descendants became known for their unmatched finishing power and endurance.
Symbolism: Golden tones, motifs of the rising sun, and details inspired by rooster feathers.
UMBRA
Origin & Legend
Geography: Shadowwood — dense forests with towering canopies, dim light, and rich, moist soil.
Legend: According to ancient lore, horses that roamed these woods gained the power to move unseen beneath the moonlight — the mythical "speed of the shadow." Hunters who witnessed their fleeting shapes blessed them in ceremonies honoring Luna, the Moon Goddess.
Symbolism: Shades of midnight blue and deep graphite, adorned with crescent moons and stylized leaf motifs.
TEMPEST
Origin & Legend
Geography: Storm Coast — a rugged landscape shaped by relentless winds, rocky shores, and crashing waves.
Legend: Horses that endured the fiercest tempests were said to be touched by Aeolus, the god of wind and sea, earning the title "Rulers of the Sky." Once they began to gallop, they could run with the speed and fury of a storm.
Symbolism: Silver-gray and storm-blue tones, with motifs of lightning and waves.
ZENITH
Origin & Legend
Geography: Highlands — high-altitude plateaus with thin air, cool nights, and short grazing seasons.
Legend: It is said that horses who could survive even a few days on these summit plains were known as "Spirits Ascending to the Sky." The most resilient among them became legends, crossing frozen ridges in the heart of blizzards.
Symbolism: Pure white snowfields, soft sky-blue tones, mountain silhouettes, and motifs of a rising sun.
2. Rarity
In the Horse Run ecosystem, there are five rarity tiers, listed from most common to most exclusive: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.
Legendary horses are the purest and most sought-after bloodlines. They can only be obtained through limited loot rewards. Once the total supply (10,000) is sold out, no more horses will ever be minted — new ones can only be created through the breeding system.
3. Gender
Gender plays a key role in breeding and lineage development. Male horses can stand as studs for a breeding fee, while the female horse's owner keeps the foal. Currently, males can sire up to three offspring per season, while females can give birth to only one foal per season.
Colt
Male horse without offspring
Stallion
Male horse that has sired offspring
Filly
Female horse without offspring
Mare
Female horse that has produced offspring
4. Coat Color
There are 12 different coat color groups.
A horse's color can reflect its closeness to its ancestral bloodline — the more similar the hue, the stronger the genetic resemblance. However, don't forget: even contrasting colors can produce future champions.
Black
Brown
Dark Bay
Dark Brown
Flaxen Chesnut
Gray
Grulla
Light Brown
Light Gray
Pinto
Sand
White
Run Your Horse
Race classes are designed to balance competition by grouping horses with similar skill levels, ensuring fair and exciting results for all racers.
If your horse has never competed before, your first step is to enter a free First Run Class race.
Meanwhile, Maiden races are reserved for horses that have raced before but have not yet won. Once a horse wins a race, it can no longer enter Maiden races.
When your horse competes in a First Run Class race, it will receive its initial base rating, helping you better understand its potential and performance level. After each race, your horse may move up, remain in the same class, or drop to a lower class based on its results.
Handicap Points
At the end of each race, horses earn or lose Handicap Points according to their finishing position:
+10
1st place
+5
2nd place
+3
3rd place
+2
4th place
+1
5th place
0
6th place
−1
7th–8th place
−2
9th place
−3
10th place
−4
11th place
−5
12th place
Track & Distance Preferences
Each horse may have its own unique jockey and distance preference that affect its overall performance. These characteristics can only be discovered by racing your horse and observing where it performs best.
Rewards
If your horse finishes 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, your earnings will be automatically transferred to your connected wallet right after the race.
Note: Game earnings will be added directly to players' in-game balances, not to their crypto wallets. Players can choose to use this balance to enter races or withdraw it to their crypto wallets.
Breeding
Genetics & Purity
- Genetics determine how far a foal is from its ancestral bloodline.
- The closer your horse is to its original lineage, the higher its purity — and thus, its value.
- The mare's compatibility with the selected stallion plays a key role in determining whether the resulting foal will be of strong or weak quality.
Breeding System
- For male horses, a one-time breeding fee is paid when they are selected as a stallion.
- Stallions also have seasonal breeding limits, ensuring balance in the ecosystem.
- All horses aged 4 years and older can be retired and converted into either a stallion or a broodmare.
- A mare's owner must pay a stud fee to the stallion's owner to initiate breeding.
- The exact fee is determined by the stallion's owner.
Breeding Limits
- When a male horse becomes a stallion, it is granted a limited number of breeding rights per season.
- These limits may vary depending on the horse's genetics, race performance, and bloodline.
- A female horse can only produce one foal per season.
- Once a foal is born, it remains in the stable for one season before it can participate in races.
- Minimum breeding fees (in ETH) will be announced later and may be subject to change.
Horse Abilities
A horse's performance is determined by four core attributes:
Speed
Maximum velocity achieved during a race
Stamina
Endurance and energy over distance
Acceleration
Initial burst power and speed buildup
Focus
Mental consistency and concentration
Understanding Your Horse
In Horse Run, horses are distinguished from one another through these four attributes, which define their Skill and Distance characteristics.
- Skill Rating – reflects the horse's overall potential and competitiveness.
- Distance Preference – determines the range in which the horse performs best.
- These characteristics can vary from race to race; some horses perform better under specific conditions.
- The best way to understand your horse's abilities is to race it at different distances.
- The more you race, the more data you gather—allowing you to gain deeper insights into your horse's true potential and ideal conditions.
