Horse Racing Challenge
There's nothing like a day at the races. But forking out to join the braying toffs in the grandstand doesn't come cheap. And it usually involves donning a ludicrous hat and watching said toffs baring their Red Rum-like teeth as they guffaw at Viscount Whatsisname's horsey anecdotes.
Enough said.

So wouldn't it be good if you could enjoy the thrill of horse racing without leaving your home or office. With Horse Racing Challenge you can do exactly that, and you won't even need a top hat.

Building the Racecourse:

Horse Racing Challenge

Connect the jigsaw pieces together

Insert the different sized poles

Slide and clip the fencing to the poles


Horse Racing Challenge

Infra red RC horses

This nail-bitingly brilliant game utilises infra-red RC horses, so unlike other horsey racers you actually control your gee gee as it thunders around the track. This means you can barge competitors out of the way, cut them up or jockey for position as you gallop into corners.

Horse Racing Challenge

Remote control /
Charger and Horse

Each horse is controlled via a nifty little handheld transmitter featuring two joypads to control forward movement and steering. They also double up as charging units for the horses - simply attach the integrated lead to your gee gee and power up. No oats or apples required.

Horse Racing Challenge

Horse Racing Challenge

Playing cards and money



Needless to say, cheering on/controlling your horse is thrilling stuff, but Horse Racing Challenge becomes unbearably tense if you're the gambling type. And you needn't worry about losing your shirt, because as well as two horses with transmitters and a realistic racetrack, this deluxe set also includes a pile of funny money. Two thousand on him in the purple silks? No problem.

Horse Racing Challenge
We honestly can't overstate quite how ludicrously enthralling Horse Racing Challenge is, suffice to say you'll be screaming yourself hoarse as your chosen gee gee gallops towards the winning post, neck and neck with the competition. Indeed you won't need a steward's enquiry to work out that this is the best horse racing game in history. So giddy-up and get ordering. It's a dead cert.

visitor avatar I think the horse racing challenge is fantastic I have got three horses a white one a dark brown one and a black one but I am having the light brown one for christmas I think racing fans should buy this game because it is a laugh and is superb 10 out of 10.
Ry, Walsall - 14th December 2007
visitor avatar I really fancy buying one of these, but could you tell me how many horses you can race at a time? Is it just 2 or can you race 4, which be be much more fun!!
Andrea, West Yorkshire - 29th June 2007
Firebox says: We're sure you could race 4 if you wanted to. You would have to charge them using the chargers from the original two and the score sheet only caters for two so would have to remember the other on the top of your head.
