• Points to win: points that can be won for the different rankings

• Distant finish – close finish: choose here if horses should finish closely or distantly

• Show mini map during the race with horse positions: shows a little overview in the top right corner during a horse race outlining the positions of the horses

• Horse names: you can enter the names of the horses here
