Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships is a 2005 video game developed by 4J Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.[1] The game was licensed by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association and Breeders' Cup Limited.[3]
Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships is a horse racing game with several gameplay modes. Players can participate in Quick Race, which is a single race. A Day at the Races allows players to bet on consecutive races at a track, offering various gambling options, but winnings can only be used for more bets. Challenge a Champion lets players race against famous horses on different tracks, but this mode is unlocked through Career Mode, which is the game's most extensive feature. In Career Mode, players can breed, train, and race horses, enter events, and place bets. Recorded commentary is included from Breeders' Cup announcer Tom Durkin, with voice clips replaying frequently.[1]
