Horse Racing Manager 3 Deluxe Edition was the first game from the makers at Tom Studios. The fact that it was the third in the series, even though the first and the second never existed, confused everyone and destroyed an already terrible plot. Many put it down to an illness the head of the company was suffering at the time (for more info see Parasitic brain painfullness). Unfortunately for Tom Studios, it was the first in a line of unsuccessful games.
