In 2015, Dead Heat and the town of Eighty Four entered into its ninth year of operation. With high profit margins, a record number of horses, and a new sense of belonging in this busy world, investors are flocking to the once sleepy town. Family farms are losing ground to massive training operations and main street is expanding from a one traffic light road to one with many. To keep up with demand from the non-racing horse industry, Eighty Four opened its state-of-the-art show park last year. Now warmbloods are starting to pop up in the fields adjacent to thoroughbreds. Ex-racehorses are finding new careers as show horses and the residents of Eighty Four now have more to do on weekends beside standing rail side to watch races. With more people calling Eighty Four home than ever before, the social drama has done nothing but expand. Love and friendship are forming, hearts are breaking, careers are starting, and reputations are destructing. Of course, the track is not without the issues of illegal activities as management struggles to keep up with expansion. Not everyone is around for the love of horses and sportsmanship but, fortunately for those who are, the upstanding outnumber the scum.
I want to walk around on two legs!
Step into the boots of a stable owner, trainer, or jockey.
What if I don’t know anything about horse racing?
Not a problem! A racetrack is only part of the setting of the game and it is not vital to know anything about horse racing to play. In fact, many characters deal with other disciplines of riding and some characters have absolutely nothing to do with the equine industry. The town itself is a bigger part of the game than the track.
Galloping and eating hay are more my thing.
Nail on a set of aluminum shoes and get ready to hit the track!
I don’t really want to run around in a constant circle to the left.
Not all horses in the game are racehorses. Some show, some breed, and some are pasture pets.
There is something for everyone at Dead Heat
