Horse Race Simulator

A desktop simulator for a series of three horse races. Horses are customisable down to name, colour and saddle, and track length and race count are set before the series starts. Each horse has a confidence value that decides both how fast it runs and how likely it is to fall, so the boldest horse is not always the safest bet.

Odds are not a formula. Before each race the whole thing is simulated ten thousand times and the odds come from how often each horse actually wins. Winning raises a horse's confidence and falling lowers it, so form drifts across the series and the odds follow it.

Speed, win rate and fall rate update after every race, with final standings decided on points.
