Horse Racing Manager 2 is a sport management and horse racing game. It was designed for management game fans as well as riding and horse racing aficionados.

Beside a multiplayer mode, horse enthusiasts can choose one of three game modes:

• for management fans: the Owner mode, where the player runs and manages his own stable
• for horse racing fans: the Jockey mode allows you to "take the reins" and to actively take-part in races.
• for betting fans: the Punter mode gives you the possibility to improve your bank balance by betting on race winners

Horse Racing Manager 2, developed by Cyanide, is slated for release on the PC in Fall 2006.
