This is far more than just a horse racing game!
Derby Owners club - World Edition is a four or eight player role-playing game, players can role play as different characters such as: breeder, trainer, jockey, and owner of a thoroughbred racehorse.

Four player satellites are situated in a stadium-like configuration in front of a 50" monitor that displays the main action in a large 16 X 9 "letterbox" format. Each satellite contains the basic control elements and a 19" monitor so players can interact with their horses independent to the rest of the players.

Players create a horse they can take with them on a magnetic storage card (VMU card). They can use their Derby Owners Club Card in any Derby Owners Club - World Edition game and pick up exactly where they left off.

Each exercise addresses a horses racing characteristic, which include, Starting, Cornering, Out of the Box, (how well they weave through traffic) Tenacity, Competitiveness, and Spurt, (how well the horse respond to your whip).
After training, players feed their horse by picking a food that will address a racing characteristic they wish to improve upon. Then it's off the track. During the race, players use their whip at strategic times to maximize their horse's performance. Once a horse has ran in 20 races, they just can't keep up with the younger ones.
