Ever fancied yourself as a top racehorse owner? Well, here's your chance.
In this simulation, you are awarded membership of the famous 'racing
league', among such personalities as Willie Carson, Steve Davis and
Terry Wogan. Each celebrity owns three horses and puts up £3,000 stake
money.
The game gives you the chance to buy, sell and race horses to find
out if you've got what it takes to become "top owner". A useful SAVE
option is included for when you are on a winning streak. There are 10
horses in each race, with a £220 entry fee. The odds for the race are
calculated using the horse's recent form (dispayed on the screen by
request).
In addition to prize money for the top three placed, you are
allowed to bet up to £500 on any horse. A professional punter might find
this a limitation, particularly as only a straight win bet is permitted.
Although an interesting game, I think it lacks sufficient depth
to become really addictive. However, Racing League is reasonable value
at the price.
