Horse Races Now
How do I set up notifications for a specific horse like 'Midnight Thunder' in Horse Races Now?
You can follow a specific horse or jockey by searching for their name in the app and tapping the follow or notification bell icon. Once followed, you'll receive a ping when that horse is entered in a race, as tested with 'Midnight Thunder' which triggered a Gulfstream race alert the next day.
Can I watch replays of races I missed while driving, and how are they organized?
Yes, the replays section is sorted by date and track, making it easy to find races like yesterday's Santa Anita events without scrolling through endless menus. The app also remembers your place in the schedule if you accidentally close it, so you don't have to search again.
What should I do if a race replay won't load and just shows a black spinning screen?
First, try closing the app completely and reopening it, or check your internet connection. If the issue persists, contact support via email, but be aware that responses may take up to three days based on user reports; the support team is helpful once they reply.
How can I deal with spammy messages or emoji spam in the live chat during big races?
Currently, there is no quick report button for spam in the live chat, which can be annoying during crowded races. You can try muting the chat or leaving it temporarily, but the developers have not yet added a moderation feature to block repeat offenders.
How does Horse Races Now compare to other horse racing apps like TVG or TwinSpires for live streaming?
Horse Races Now offers a simpler, more casual experience with live streams that load in about 20 seconds on a Samsung Galaxy A54, though video quality can get blocky on the far turn. Unlike TVG or TwinSpires, it includes a live chat feature and notifications for specific horses, but its interface feels busier and support response times are slower.
