There is nothing more daunting than getting ready for the races. You need to be immaculately dressed in the season’s best fashions. You need to hold your tongue lest you do an Eliza Doolittle (My Fair Lady) and make the ladies faint! Well if all this fuss is a bit overbearing for you then you may want to opt for the Horse Racing Challenge set. Infrared RC horses gallop along the track with a little help from the handheld transmitter featuring two joypads to control forward movement and steering. ‘Funny money’ comes along with the racer set, so you needn’t bet with the real thing and fear losing it all.

The handheld transmitters doubles up as a charging station for the horses. Too bad that the racer set and horses are out of stock, but you can pre order them now as they will be available from June 4 th onwards. The Horse Racing Challenge costs $99.20. The horses come for $49.60 each.
