I used to play the Breeder's Cup version. Pretty cool game. I'd like to see someone win the Juvy with someone other than War Pass and Pyro.

I just finished downloading it and it's a 3-D type game..So far it looks pretty cool :)

Beware of the prefered running styles, as they switch from time to time. You'll have fun with it for a while, realize how to win every race, then get bored with it. I used to be able to win the Juvy Turf with Strike a Deal with my eyes closed. Still not sure if im proud of that or not...:D

I had to change my screen resolution (I have one of those ancient tiny screens) and now my font here in itsy bitsy..lol.. Sitting here squinting just to type this :p

Nothing better than to take a 30-1 shot and try and win with him...but it is a lot easier with a 3/5 shot :D

i cant win a race
WTF ?
i play as jockey, i am always last, i go to the lead, im empty turning for home, i sit far back i find myself 50 off the lead.

declansharbor 09-25-2008 11:40 PM

Its tough at first. Just notice how each race is run and you'll catch on eventually. Be a front runner that needs the lead, take him to the front by 3-5 lengths, then slow him down. Let the other horses gain on you, let a few even pass you a few lengths. Pounce with about 3 furlongs to go, and it should give you enough gas to get home clear.

Time to get my 4-5 hours of daily shut eye.

i will try, i think i am addicted to this game

hrfan 09-26-2008 12:15 AM

no inquirys or objections ? i cant get a clean run here

letswastemoney 09-26-2008 03:36 AM

Okay I'm addicted now that you people have shown me this. I only wish I had money for the interesting races like the BC. I'm cheap :(

What would be awesome is if you can take this game online and each horse was controlled by a human online, like they do for most shooting games and whatnot. And then before and after the race you can smack talk to each other. I'd pay good money for that!

I won the Kentucky Oaks with Little Belle. Hmmm...unrealistic, but fun :)

Picking a closer is almost impossible to win with. You're always going to get blocked by a wall of horses!

Shoot through on the rail, as they (your competition) almost always come off of it with about 2-2.5 furlongs to go. Around the turn, they always seem to move over to the 3 path, giving you more than enough room to wiggle through.
