Old favorites such as the betting system and the classic season mode will also be back in the new title. Features: Enhanced Revolution Mode.

    Remember, this is not an arcade experience. This game is more for serious sim lovers of an equine bent. If you’ve ever played (and liked) any games of this series, you’ll probably like this latest version and its requisite additional bells and whistles.

    This game is trial by fire and if you don't like to get burned by complex games, then this is one you'd want to avoid. This one is for the hardcore and the faithful.

    For anyone with a passing interest in the sport, we recommend dusting off those lawn darts and firing up the barbeque.
