STAKES WINNER is a realistic horse racing action game released by Saurus in 1995. Players take on the role of a jockey, using various techniques such as 'showing the whip' or 'pulling the reins' to navigate their way to the front of the pack. Collect items on the track to boost your speed or stamina and outsmart your rivals across several challenging courses.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
STAKES WINNER is a refreshing departure from the usual arcade fighting and shooting fare. This horse racing action game captures the excitement of the turf with a unique arcade twist. Unlike realistic simulators, this is all about timing and strategy. You have to manage your horse's stamina while navigating through the pack, using items found on the track to gain an edge.
The mobile port handles the 'jockey' mechanics well. Tapping to whip or using the reins feels responsive enough for a mobile screen. It’s a game of positioning—finding the right line to avoid getting boxed in by other riders. The ACA features are particularly helpful here, as the arcade difficulty can be unforgiving if you waste your horse's energy too early in a race.
