It was probably the day after man domesticated the second horse that man started betting on horse races. Online horse racing games have in the past been of two types; Online gaming sites where you spend real money on real horses or games where virtual horses race and the results are random. Today's game takes the latter type to a new level.

If you don't go to gambling sites where you could lose real money, but you would still like the thrill of gambling without the inevitable financial results, then Trotter Track is a game for you. The thing that separates this game form most other horse racing games is that the horses and the associated odds are realistic. You can get a horses profile and handicap sheet to make more intelligent bets and if you are ambitious you can even venture into horse ownership.

The game and it's associated site has features like a forum to discuss the finer points of horse racing. There are six races a day and if you bet well you get the opportunity to create your own horse to compete with. There are even the temptations of the seamier side of horse racing like sabotage and steroids. Hint: cheaters seldom prosper, taking the high road is always better in the end.

We like this game because it takes horse racing games beyond mere random betting and allows you to make intelligent bets, If there is such a thing.
