History

Sunday, July 2, 2017. Racetrack Hamburg-Horn, 3:40 pm. The seventh race of the day – the 148th German Derby – was to be started. The favourite was Colomano. The gates opened and the race had started. 18 horses ran across the course. After 2400 metres Windstoß won the Derby ahead of Enjoy Vijay and Shanjo. After the race a short dialogue was held to discuss if this was possible in Excel as well. First feasibility studies were done on the same evening already. On 08 August 2017 the first version – GaloppSim 148.00 – was released.
