Strategic Designs Ltd., is the market leader in creating accurate and in-depth horse and greyhound racing strategy games. Responsible for the 'Starters Orders' series our games have been acclaimed by the racing press for their realism and accurate reflection of the sports.

Founded in 2003 and based near Manchester in the UK we currently have a number of products on the market. Our first product, 'John  McCriricks Starters Orders' (endorsed by the famous racing celebrity), was released online in 2003 and later published by Focus Multimedia and is still available in-store. Starters Orders 2 (released November 2005) can be purchased online via www.startersorders.com.

Starters Orders 3 is currently in development and due May 2008. Boasting many firsts for a horse racing game Starters Orders 3 includes full realistic game modes for the UK, US and Australia including all the major racecourses, feature races, trainers and jockeys and proffesional race commentary. The UK schedule will also include jumps racing with famous races such as the Aintree Grand National, The Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Champion hurdle (along with hundreds of others). Already hailed as the most realistic horse racing game series available, Starters Orders 3 will take the genre to new heights.

Greyhound Manager was released in March 07 and is our latest game and contains many 'firsts' for a greyhound management sim including realistic races, breeding and betting. It can be purchased online from www.greyhoundmanager.com.
