Each horse is rated in strength, speed, and stamina, making each horse different in handling.
During the game, horse ratings can be boosted through completing bonus levels.
Each horse has a stamina bar displayed at the bottom of the screen, next to a picture of the horse's head showing its current health.
The stamina bar decreases as the horse runs, and when it is depleted, the race is over for that horse.
About Neo Geo CD
SNK's Neo Geo CD (1994) brought the arcade-perfect Neo Geo library to a CD format at a fraction of the AES cartridge system's cost, making the platform's famous games far more accessible at the time. While cheaper than AES originals, Neo Geo CD games are still a specialist collecting niche today, and disc condition matters enormously given the format's known reliability issues with the console's slow-loading drive.
Gamevaro tracks Stakes Winner for Neo Geo CD with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Stakes Winner to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NEOCD release dates back to 1995.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Stakes Winner, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Neo Geo CD titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
