The opening "tune" is an ear wrencher for sure! This is meant to be a horse racing gambling game and they look more like dogs. It's simply a game of blind luck as you're betting on horses you know nothing about other than they are A, B, C, D, E and F, that's it. Just pick a letter, place and bet and they're off. And there's no photo finish either, instead when two horses finish together it's a "dead-heat" and the race is re-run, and one of them was my horse too, and in the re-run he finished last. But you can win, kind of. I had given up on the game and decided to blow whatever money I had left and even though player two's came second it won, player one was bankrupt and yet he won the overall game! Is the goal to lose all your money? So confusing! There were many games like this, a lot of them were better than this tripe too. This is such a badly written game, no wonder it was self-published.
