Meta-data
Sim/manager
Inherit a racing stable. Buy horses that have strong racing potential. Watch them mature to racing age. Choose the races to participate in. Train your horses between races. Earn racing wins. Buy more horses. Retire horses from racing. Check horse genes and breed your best horses for racing or selling. Play by yourself and with bots or compete against an unlimited number of players. Would rather just place bets - can do that too!
This game requires players to plan their "moves", send files to a host for the host to process. Do this daily, weekly, monthly or on any schedule you like. Supports any number of players and anyone can join mid-campaign.
An 'off-line' replay function lets you watch how every race played out. Races are played on a board and you can see the horses win or lose at each race.
Uses "layman" language for non-diehard players.
