Derby Life: Ranch & Race
SteamAbout Derby Life: Ranch & Race
Live an open-world ranch life with your horse
You are the second-generation owner of a ranch that was once famous, but has now fallen into decline. A tragic accident during the final race of the legendary champion horse “Eclipse,” just moments from victory, changed the fate of the ranch. In the midst of despair, however, a fateful encounter with “Eclipse II” awaits you. With the help of trusted allies such as Sonny, a skilled but blunt trainer, and Kate, a thoughtful veterinarian, raise the ultimate racehorse and stand against the schemes of a rival ranch owner driven by greed.
