2008 Breeders' Cup Community Edition
Horse Racing Simulation/Fantasy Game
Our FREE simulation/fantasy game will allow players to not only simulate six of the fourteen 2008 Breeders' Cup races with the actual contenders, but will also allow them to
simulate the
key Breeders' Cup Challenge races leading up. Each week, prior to the Challenge races, files will be distributed by email to players containing the actual contenders and their true attributes for each Breeders' Cup Challenge race. Players can watch the outcome of each race as it unfolds on their computer while viewing amazing 3D, full-screen graphics. In addition to the unlimited free access to all of the Breeders' Cup and weekly Breeders' Cup Challenge races, users will have full access to an additional 300 fantasy horses to use while competing against other players to win prizes such as trips, gift certificates and even dinners with top jockeys and players.
Players of the Horse Racing Fantasy "2008 Breeders' Cup Community Edition" Game can also adjust each horse's individual traits including pace, trip and jockey strategies to actually help more accurately forecast 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 "2008 Breeders' Cup Community Edition" also allows players to create fictitious wagering accounts and play out the races to see how their wagering strategies fare. Because the race setups can be adjusted, there is an unlimited number of potential results leading to hours of fun and excitement as well as key handicapping information. Long before and after the Breeders' Cup event is over, players can play out many "what-if" scenarios and how they could have impacted the Breeders' Cup races and the Breeders' Cup Challenge race results. The user will also have full access for 30 days to our full-version game and all of its benefits and features, including the opportunity to win great prizes while competing against others. VIP Subscribers have the opportunity to purchase additional race files of other upcoming major thoroughbred events and to also purchase files that contain a variety of horses from different eras of horse racing with which the user can create and build their own races. For example, you can match up Barbaro against War Admiral or Afleet Alex against Bold Ruler.
There is also a jockey mode where players can ride their favorite Breeders' Cup contenders and have those horses perform to their true ability. Imagine being able to ride top Breeders' Cup contenders and see how your decisions as a jockey presented through our 3D visually-engaging engine will affect the strategies of the other horses during the running of the race and its outcome. 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 top jockeys and trainers feel while these decisions are being made. Playing the 2008 "Breeders' Cup Community Edition" in jockey mode is not only fun and exciting, but can actually help you be a better handicapper and truly understand why jockeys make the decisions they do during a race.
Our "Community Edition" game allows you to interact with thousands of other players through an engaging fully-interactive community providing further hours of entertainment and horse racing education. Individuals who install this free game will be sent weekly emails with the latest Breeders' Cup Challenge races, giving them the opportunity to simulate those races over and over again before they actually happen. Approximately forty-eight hours before the actual Breeders' Cup races begin, all users will receive all Breeders' Cup races for both handicapping and entertainment purposes.
This product is brought to you by your friends at Breeders' Cup Ltd in association with your friends at Horse Racing Simulation LLC.
SO HAVE FUN AND PLAY NOW!
