"World Derby" is a horse racing simulation game developed for Sega's handheld Game Gear console. In "World Derby," players delve into the thrilling world of horse racing, managing and training their horses to compete in various international races. The game combines elements of strategy and real-time action, allowing players to make crucial decisions about training regimes, race tactics, and betting – all integral strategies for advancing in the game.
