Free to play and you can win prizes

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.

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...

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

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.

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.
