# NFT Utility ## **Jockeys** There will be 8888 jockeys in total. The first XXXX will be free-minted minted through a whitelist and waitlist during the launch. The other jockeys will be made available through mint-for-ETH sales throughout the phases. ## **Stables** The number of stables is capped by jockeys until phase 5 (8888 jockeys, for every jockey a stable). After phase 5, more stables will be made available through mint-for-$stable sales. A stable can hold at most 5 horses, of which 1 can be a pregnant horse. The capacity can be upgraded with consumables. Stables can be sold to other users. ## **Horses** Horses must be bred in stable by one male and female in a stable. During pregnancy, the female horse is frozen. Neither training nor racing is possible during this period for the mare. Males during the pregnancy period have reduced stamina. This is to have an "incurred cost" to minting more horses. This way the number of newly minted horses are controlled. ## **Race tracks** Race tracks require jockeys to be stakelocked to be minted. Once more and more jockeys get frozen “into” race tracks, this will cause a deflationary dynamic for the jockeys. Racetracks get burned once the player decides to pull out their jockey again. Race track owners will receive $stable during race-to-earn inflationary epochs, and can take the spread on bets during the race-to-win static epoch. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
