Virtual Programming Announces Horse Racing Manager
9:16 AM | Tuncer Deniz | Comment on this story

Virtual Programming today announced they will be publishing Horse Racing Manager for the Macintosh. Due later this year, the game allows players to enjoy the sport of kings as an owner, breeder, trainer, jockey, or gambler.

Here's more from the official press release:

Depending on which role players choose to assume, the game will play very differently. As an owner, for example, players will have to concern themselves with finances and staffing, while breeders will spend their time seeking the right horses to produce future champions with.

Horse Racing Manager lets you enjoy the sport of kings at all levels. Choose whether to play the game as an owner, breeder, trainer, jockey or punter. Each activity will require specific know-how that you will be able to acquire with each play.

As an owner, you will have to keep an eye on your finances and optimise the working time of your staff as well as your own.

As a trainer, you will have to prepare your horses according to the goals you will have set for the season, bearing in mind each horse's characteristics and your financial constraints. Your ultimate goal as a trainer will be to improve their overall characteristics to their maximum capacity.

As a breeder, you will seek and hopefully find the right matches for reproduction; you will also be in charge of the weekly report on each of your horses.

As a gambler, you will be able to visit the most famous racetracks and follow the greatest races, live. You will have to use all your gambling skills to increase your initial capital and avoid bankruptcy.

As a jockey, you will have to show your talents as a competitor and strategist in real time. Take into account your horse, the competitors, the racetrack, the weather conditions in order to have a chance to win. Become a solo expert and then come face the other players in a LAN or on the internet, either in the racing or in the betting mode.
