	== Gameplay ==		== Gameplay ==

	The player is given a single button to control their horse and jockey, each of which exists on their own vertical row colored by a mylar overlay. The horses run automatically and the button enables the player's horse to leap over obstacles that come towards them at regular intervals. If the horse runs into the obstacle, it will temporarily trip and slow down the player. Players win by reaching the end of the race track before their opponents, including a pace setting non-player character located at the bottom of the screen.
