QuarterPole
Developed by:
Action Games, Inc.
Action Games, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1986 and began life with QuarterPole, its original thoroughbred racing board game. The board game was the basis for the company's first computer game, QuarterPole, developed jointly with MicroLeague Sports under intellectual property license from Action Games. QuarterPole was upgraded to Hooves of Thunder, once again together with MicroLeague Sports. When Microleague ran into corporate difficulty and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, their license for the racing game series was cancelled. Action Games reissued Hooves of Thunder under its own label and has continued the development of the series in an upgrade to QuarterPole Plus.

Description
Quarter Pole creates a look never seen in sports simulation software before.
An interactive first-person interface means no more boring menu screens to
slow down your adventure. You are virtually transported to the grounds of Blue
Rock Downs, see the sights, hear the sounds, and feel the excitement.
Up to 10 players can choose from a variety of opening scenarios with the same
goal: to create their fortune. As a bettor, check out the racing form before you
bet the farm. There's no reason to risk your crash on hunches. Play trifectas,
exactas, and daily doubles to really make some money.
If you decide to own a stable, you will be responsible for hiring the best available
trainers to keep your investment fast and healthy. Buy and sell horses at the auction,
and enter them in the races that will make you rich. There are ten races daily,
Wednesday through Monday, including claims and allowance racea, and over 125 stakes
and handicap races throughout the year. That's plenty of opportunity to choose the best
races for your ponies. Your ultimate success or failure rests upon your shoulders.
