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

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.
