About Day at the Races

Although luck plays a part in this game, each horse and jockey commence with their own randomly generated attributes and skills which change accordingly as the game progresses. Other factors such as track conditions, distances, barrier positions, the health and fitness, running style and determination of each horse, together with your ability to “pick a winner” will influence the outcome of each race.

The aim of this arcade-style horse racing game is to win enough money to purchase, maintain and enter your horse in the prestigious Day at the Races Cup, held on the 5th race of the final day.
GOOD LUCK!

Features:

* Races held on 5 different track surfaces over a variety of distances.
* 5 races per day with a choice of a 10, 20 or 30 day simulated event.
* Study the form guide for upcoming races, as well as horse and jockey career statistics to help you "pick a winner".
* Will you be tempted to risk using illegal means to win a race?
* Buy or sell your horse at auctions.
* Enter your horse in, and attempt to win the prestigious "Day at the Races" cup to secure your place in horse racing history.

**NOTE** PLEASE CHECK YOUR DISPLAY SETTINGSThis game cannot be played on monitor resolutions lower than 1920 x 1080 and Windows display scaling must be set to 100%

A lovely gem of a game where you make bets and try your luck trying to win in what is essentially simulated horse racing with some added features (such as buying your own horse to race within the game). Lots of fun and love the style chosen for the game, gives me a very 2000's PC game feel to it which I personally think is really cool. Really like the small touches here and there with the advertising shown within the racing track made me a chuckle a few times. Not a long game by any means, but enough of a challenge to go back at least a few times and give it a solid go. You could always turn this into a fun time with mates betting on virtual horses. Definitely recommend for the very modest price.

Fun game that scratches the gambling itch, love the look of the graphics. Make sure to set your windows display scale to 100% to avoid any issues. Runs well on my 4K MSI monitor.

Unfortunately I've got to leave this a bad review. It seems like it would be a nice game, but it just does not play well at all with monitors above 1080. It resized my 4k monitor's resolution down to 1080 in Windows settings somehow, but still misadjusted the scaling level so I couldn't even see the UI that might've been able to help me. Refunded.
