Loading Instructions:Double click on the "!ProHorsie" icon.

Playing the game:Once loaded,just follow the on-screen prompts.Pretty simple                  really.

Notes:Upto six players can participate at the same time.
      Each player begins with 100 to bet with as they see fit.
      Names of players are rounded to the first ten characters. 
      Before beginning the game you will be asked to input the number of               races you wish to have.After this number or when everyone is                 bankrupt everyones final winnings will be displayed and you will be          given the oppurtunity to play again.
      The "Form Book" shows the finishing positions of the horses in their 
          last five races,the most recent being on the left.
      Odds are roughly based upon the positions the horses finished in their           last race.
      Each horse has a pre-determined speed level generated at the start of            the game which does not change until a new game is started.The 
          actual speed of the individual horses during the race is a 
          combination of their speed level and a random number generator.
      The minimum bet is 1 per race.
      If you try to bet a decimal it will be rounded down to the nearest 
          whole.
      The game runs faster on RISC OS 2,but runs at a perfectly adequate               speed on RISC OS 3.

If you have trouble loading the game make sure that there is at least 8K of  System Sprites configured.Otherwise,carry out a hard-reset and try again.
