The goal
Choose a horse through the top lanes, then use its numbered thumper bumper to move it toward the finish line.
Horse selection: Send the ball through one of the six numbered top lanes or an outer Mystery lane. The left horseshoe display lights your selected horse’s number.
Race: Hit the thumper bumper matching your selected horse’s number to advance it on the backglass. If your horse crosses the finish line first, you win credits.
