This is another game with an equestrian flavour, exeept this time around you'll require the skills of a budding Lester Piggot. There are seven horses in the race, and two things will happen once you have decided which one you want to ride. Firstly, all the other horses will gallop off at the start, leaving you floundering at half speed. You soon discover that your mount is one of those créatures that only pulls its weight when the finishing line is in sight and then will go twice as fast as anything else on four legs. The second problem is that the other horses hâve a (cleverly computed) desire to crowd you out of the action. They will tend to close up in front of you and even steer straight at you from the side! There's no steward to protect you .in this race, so aim for a gap in the field and hope you will be fast enough to avoid trouble. Anv horses colliding with each other are flung randomly sideways and backwards, thus losing valuable speed. OK, you're under starter's orders . . . |
