Hopeless. I did not want to purchase the game without playing it and the demo is hopeless. You get one race and that is it. I could see that the gasame has potential to be a game that would get you hooked but with a demo like this i wouldn't bother. If the demo let you do a season for instance it would be much improved. If anyone has any good suggestions for good horse racing management sims that dont involve fees over the internet i'd be very happy to hear from you. Benashcroft_9@hotmail.com
