INTRODUCTION Sport of Kings can be played by up to 5 people, either with or without a kitty. There is nothing random in the results. Weights, distances, jockeys and going may all affect the outcome of races. Up to 75 horses can be entered into the game, the more horses, the harder it it so calculate your winners. Each time the Sport of Kings is loaded, the horses will have different characteristics. No two meetings are the same. Form cards hold details of the last 50 races. At first all prices are the same, since there is no form, but this quickly changes. There is also an auto-run feature, to build up form if you wish, or a meeting may be saved. There are six types of bet, win, place, show, each way, straight forecast and reversed forecast. If there are less than eight runners, each way bet payouts are for 1st or 2nd ONLY. Players may join or leave the game at any time. GOOD LUCK J.E.CALDER INSTRUCTIONS Experience all the thrills and excitement of a day at the races in this icon driven simulation for up to 5 players.
