I recently bought a cheap horse racing sim from England and tried to play it. Needless to say that it was crap because of the bugs and lack of support. I would like to see a solid racing game with a career mode.

You mean like owning a stable and stuff?

Yep. All aspects of the horse racing industry. Kind of like starting a farm in Lexington Ky.

Well I don't know much about horse racing but I'd try it out.

Final Stretch was the name of the game that I was talking about. Lots of bugs and never could pay back my loan, but it was a fun game.

Was that the game that would only run on Flash? I downloaded a demo of a horse racing game that would run on Flash and I couldn't do anything in it other than press the "Start Race" button. There were no other options or features. Worst demo ever.

Dont know about flash Power. I got a full load of the game at 1/2 price book store for $7. Paid too much even at this price. I do think that there is another horse race game out there, but I have not tried it.

Yes this game sells for $75 . It is way over priced , but it is very well designed and very accurate. The graphics are below par but the statistics are accurate.
The designer is not customer friendly, if you can believe that, and dealing with his licensing routine and update policy is the worst. I would not recommend getting involved with the game owing to the lack of customer support and registation hoops one must go through

Personally I am not willing to spend $75 for a horse racing game good or not.

i have both of the above mentioned games, neither is as good as starters orders pro, but all could be improved. I don't know much about horseracing but i like the thought of breeding and racing a triple crown winner.
