Hold sprint for the curves at the two ends of the arena, where the boost actually buys you positional advantage.35353636Sprint hard for the finish. Save a final reservoir of stamina for the run-in to the finish line. A clean late sprint is usually all that is needed to take first place even if the AI is on your tail.37373838Reward: Riding Boots39394040Winning Horse Fair Races awards the Riding Boots, which slot into the larger Riding Attire set.
