These aren't just tiny model horses confined to slots and going around and around in circles. Now you can try your hand at steering these remote-controlled horses around this little track. Each one has a handheld infrared transmitter that functions as both controller and charging station.
If you're looking to do a bit of horse race wagering on this setup, you'll have to wait until June 4 when the company says more of them will be in stock, and maybe if you're lucky you can win back its purchase price of $89.95, plus an extra $39.95 per horse.

Gotta check out the video on the product page. The way these things "gallop" makes a dog humping its owner's leg seem graceful in comparison.
Aren't they going the wrong direction, or am I just having a Seabiscuit flashback?
I think your right 1stage they race the other way at Santa Anita and Hollywood park.
I'll spend my money at the track, unless this comes with sad drunk people bummed that they lost two bucks on the last race.
This looks like about five minutes of fun...then into the trash with you.
