WalkthroughEdit

Mission PrerequisitesEdit

Before this mission becomes available, the player must complete:

• Nigel West Dickens mission: "You Shall Not Give False Testimony, Except for Profit"
• Seth Briars mission: "Exhuming and Other Fine Hobbies"

Mission ObjectivesEdit

To complete this mission, the player must:

• Ride with Nigel to the race.
• Get in the horse cart.
• Follow the course marked by the smoke plumes.
• Win the race.

Mission DetailsEdit

Ride with Nigel West Dickens to Gaptooth Breach for a horse and cart race. Once the race begins, the best strategy is to stay on the path at all times as this gives Marston's horse the ability to travel as fast as it can. Keep a close eye on the blue endurance meter to the left of the radar to make sure John's Horse is riding as fast as it can without being over exerted. A good rule of thumb would be to keep pressing X (PS3) or A (Xbox360) every couple of gallops after initially gaining full speed to keep the horse running as fast as it can without overusing the endurance meter. Follow the smoke trackers and finish in first place. Look at your mini map in the bottom left corner at the yellow circles to see where your next destination is. You get $3 and 200 fame for winning.

TriviaEdit

• Interestingly, apart from the three racing missions given to you during the story ("Obstacles in Our Path"; "Liars, Cheats and Other Proud Americans"; "The Sport of Kings, and Liars"), the opportunity to race never presents itself again in single player. However, racing is available in the Grand Prix multiplayer game mode as part of the Liars and Cheats DLC.
• Sometimes, there is a wagon with no one driving it, it's still racing, but it will not take your position, the horse is running.
• The piece of dialogue before the race in which the rules are explained can be interpreted as an ironic comment on laissez-faire capitalism.
