Horse Racing Fantasy Game - "Community Edition" Featuring The 2008 Belmont Stakes
Our FREE game will allow players to simulate the 2008 Belmont Stakes plus 3 other Grade One races and one Belmont fantasy race featuring some of the greatest horses of all times. Utilizing our proprietary past performance data, our computers have forecasted the probable outcome for the 2008 Belmont Stakes and three other Grade One races. Players can watch the predicted outcome of each race as it unfolds on their computer while viewing amazing 3-D, full-screen graphics. In addition to unlimited free access to the 5 races identified above, each user will have full 30-day access to an additional 300 fantasy horses to use in competing against other players to win great prizes such as trips, gift certificates and dinners with top jockeys and trainers.
Players of the Horse Racing Fantasy Game "Community Edition" featuring the 2008 Belmont Stakes can also adjust each horse's individual traits including pace, trip and jockey strategies to actually help forecast more accurately the potential outcome. Setting up the same races with various scenarios helps both the novice and sophisticated handicapper to truly understand the realm of potential outcomes and the frequency of their probability, which can lead to more rewarding betting strategies. For the novice fan, this feature becomes more of a visual entertainment/educational tool, which can lead to hours of enjoyment and a greater understanding of horse racing.
Horse Racing Fantasy "Community Edition" featuring the 2008 Belmont Stakes also allows players to create fictitious wagering accounts and play out the races to see how their wagering strategies will fare. Because the race setups can be adjusted, there is an unlimited number of potential results leading to hours of fun and excitement. Long after the Belmont Stakes Race is over, players can play out many "what-if" scenarios and how that could have impacted the race and its results.
Last but not least, is the Jockey Game where the player has the ability to ride their favorite Belmont Stakes' contender and have that horse perform to its true ability. Imagine being able to ride the likes of Big Brown and see how your decisions as a jockey will affect the strategies of the other horses during the running of the race. Your blood will be rushing and your heart will be pounding as you're forced to make quick decisions on how to ride your horse. During the entire race, you feel the level of energy, that same rush that jockeys feel when they're out there making these decisions. Playing the Jockey Game is not only fun and exciting, to say the least, it will help make you a better handicapper while at the same time help you understand why jockeys make the decisions they do during a race.
