This is a complex game for one to six players based on flat racing. Your role is as trainer in charge of a stable of 16 meetings throughout the season. In the run up to the final meetings, when the great classic races are held, you have to determine the strength of your string in order to make the most appropriate selections, giving due regard to handicapping, race distance and going. Prize money provides the spur and extra winnings can be had if you care for a flutter.

It sounds quite complicated but is easily picked up, the play being simplified by excellent screen displays and neat instructions. By the time you have completed all the preliminaries it is a welcome relief to sit back and watch the race. This is very nicely animated.

It is about a year since Salamander's Donkey Derby came on the market; their software writers have learned their trade well.

Many hours of enjoyment lie in store for you budding Lesters.
