About the Game

Although luck plays a part in this game, each horse and jockey commence with their own randomly generated attributes and skills which change accordingly as the game progresses. Other factors such as track conditions, distances, barrier positions, the health and fitness, running style and determination of each horse, together with your ability to “pick a winner” will influence the outcome of each race.

The aim of this arcade-style horse racing game is to win enough money to purchase, maintain and enter your horse in the prestigious Day at the Races Cup, held on the 5th race of the final day.

GOOD LUCK!

Features:

* Races held on 5 different track surfaces over a variety of distances.

* 5 races per day with a choice of a 10, 20 or 30 day simulated event.

* Study the form guide for upcoming races, as well as horse and jockey career statistics to help you "pick a winner".

* Will you be tempted to risk using illegal means to win a race?

* Buy or sell your horse at auctions.

* Enter your horse in, and attempt to win the prestigious "Day at the Races" cup to secure your place in horse racing history.
