Stakes Winner

Stakes Winner (ステークスウィナー: ＧＩ完全制覇への道, Stakes Winner: GI Road to Complete Conquest) is a horse racing game released by Saurus in 1995 for the Neo Geo and Neo Geo CD and later ported to the Sega Saturn.

Gameplay
In Stakes Winner players can choose between eight different horses, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Controlling the horse is mostly done with the directional stick, steering the horse in the direction pressed, while the player can also double tap in a direction to push rival horses.

Pressing the A button will give a short acceleration boost, while pressing B will give a drastic acceleration boost; however using these will consume from the horse's stamina meter, forcing the horse to stop and rest if the meter is fully depleted. Along the race track the player can also find many power up items which can give small power ups or restore stamina.
