  10. Back in the computer's early game-playing days, a horse race            
  11. involved either waiting for race results from an imaginary track,       
  12. or watching little dots of light run randomly around the screen.        
  13. Those days are long since gone. HANDICAP HORSE RACING has brought       
  14. what used to be a simple game into the world of high stakes and         
  15. heart-pounding finishes.                                                
  16.                                                                         
  17. From someone who used to press a button to start the game, you          
  18. become The Marshal, or track commissioner, and you do a lot more        
  19. before, during and after the race. Before you even open the gates       
  20. to the track, you must prepare the Registry, see to your funds for      
  21. race pay-offs and rental and fees from your track stables. When         
  22. your guests arrive, they'll be bringing their own money (play) for      
  23. a day at the races. The system will make the race call and even         
  24. help you determine who get how much afterwards.                         
  25.                                                                         
  26. With your Registry changing as a result of each race, the excitment     
  27. will grow every time you play. Your guest will look forward to play-    
  28. ing their "Best of Breed" against the field.                            
  29.                                                                         
  30. The ShareWare version supports a limited number of horses running on    
  31. an oval track with no betting action. Registered users receive a track  
  32. construction system, full betting action and a large stable of horses.
