Breeders' Cup Limited and Horse Racing Simulation LLC announced today the launch of an exciting new product that is both an interactive horse race handicapping tool as well as a fun and exciting innovative game.
The game, titled "Breeders' Cup Edition - Horse Race Fantasy," has multiple interactive features including the ability to run simulations of all eleven Breeders' Cup World Championships
races with the actual entered horses and correct post positions. As a simulation tool, it will help both the experienced and novice handicapper to translate the available sophisticated
and complicated numeric past performance data into a full screen 3-D visual event - in simplistic terms, it brings those numbers to life. Users can alter the true racing characteristics
of horses to explore different race scenarios leading up to potential profitable wagering strategies. The product also provides a simulated betting platform and a jockey mode that allows
fans to see first-hand what it's like to ride a champion thoroughbred in the ultimate horse racing event.
"We're very pleased to launch this product first on breederscup.com" said Greg Avioli, CEO of Breeders' Cup Limited. "This free game should provide hours of exciting use for the casual
and serious handicapper. The simulated races will help players in their handicapping process and the jockey mode will really be a fun element of play."
"Working with Breeders Cup Limited to provide new and innovative programs to open up the world of horse racing is very exciting to us," said Michael Calderone, President of Horse Racing
Simulation. "The Breeders' Cup Limited understands the importance of not only satisfying their loyal horse racing fans but attracting and educating the casual fan, as well," stated Gary
Darveaux, CEO of Horse Racing Simulation.
The free game is now accessible at www.horseracingisfun.com.
