Description

Final Furlong is a horse racing game that supports multiple players racing each other. The cabinet is built like a saddle. To race the horses players must rock the cabinet's horses back and forth, to urge their horses forward, pressing the "Whip" button to speed them up and pulling on "reins" to keep the horse from colliding with the fences or other horses.

There are three tracks to choose from: 6+1⁄2 furlongs, 1 mile and 1+1⁄2 miles. Horses are classified according to where their best pace is: Leader (maintains highest speed when in first place), Front Runner (best pace is between second and fourth), Mid-Runner (best pace is when between fifth and seventh place), Strong Finisher (who is fastest at the end of the race), and two Almighty Runners (who keep their pace in any position).
