Hooves Of
Thunder!
"If you love horse racing, you'll love Hooves of Thunder. Even if
you're indifferent, you just might convert into a horse racing fan once
gambling fever kicks in!"
Hooves of Thunder! is a racing simulation
where 1500 horses, 125 jockeys and 150 trainers race 311 days a year.
Each day has 10 races in a variety of claiming,
maiden, nw1/2, and allowances. And, through the year, there are 125 Handicap
and Stakes races. The monthly condition book lets owners and trainers map their
entry plans. Stable owners add to their stables through auctions for unraced 2
yo’s, private purchases, and claiming. Each year, some 250 horses are
retired from the game due to poor performance or injury, and 250 unraced 2 yo's
are added.
Hooves Of Thunder delivers realistic racing
action; results depend on past performances, track conditions, pace, track
bias, race positions, running styles and other factors.
Except for instant replays, results are never the
same even in re-runs. Hooves features complete past performances and results
charts. Parimutual betting is to win, place and show with exactas/trifectas.
And Hooves gives you 120 professional handicapping tips for picking winners in
Hooves and live racing.

Stakes. The lesser ones go down the claiming path until the right spots are
found. As in live racing, owners can strive to get to the big races.

9f, $500,000 purse
