**How to Play**

1.  **The Race:** Control your horse’s speed and position during the race. Use the virtual joystick to steer and manage your stamina bar carefully.

2.  **Sprinting:** Tap the "Sprint" button at the final stretch to push your horse to its top speed. Timing is critical; sprinting too early will leave your horse exhausted before the finish line.

3.  **Training:** Between races, use your facilities to increase your horse's core stats: Speed, Acceleration, and Sprint Energy.

4.  **Breeding & Sales:** Combine your best mares and stallions to discover foals with superior stats. You can sell horses to make room in your stable or to generate profit for farm upgrades.

**How to Win: Strategy and Tips**

* **Master the "Perfect Start":** Tap the launch button exactly when the gates open to gain an immediate speed advantage. A "Perfect" start can save you valuable stamina later in the race.

* **Drafting for Stamina:** Stay behind other horses during the middle of the race. This "drafting" mechanic allows your horse to maintain speed while consuming less stamina, saving your energy for the final sprint.

* **Stat-Specific Training:** Don't train every horse the same way. Focus on "Speed" for short-track sprinters and "Sprint Energy" for long-distance horses to maximize their natural potential.

* **The "Richard" Boss Strategy:** When facing elite rivals like Richard, focus on keeping your horse in the "Inner Lane" to travel the shortest distance. Save at least two full bars of stamina for the final 200 meters.

* **Sell for Profit:** Don't get too attached to low-tier horses. Selling foals with average stats is the most efficient way to fund expensive upgrades for your training facilities and stable capacity.
