Organization: Rubber Duck Software

Few sports seem so perfectly tailored for social games as horse racing: its rules are simple, its matches are short, and maintaining a good horse requires almost constant care. In the right hands, such a simple but addictive concept could potentially rival the genre's unassailable farm-based games and even draw attention to the sport itself, but only a tiny handful of games have made it out of the gate thus far. Among the most notable is Rubber Duck's Hooves of Fire, which springs out of the gate while covering virtually every aspect of racing horses with only a few stumbles.
