Being a laser disc game, I guess you could memorize all the sequences and win 100%.
That's a possibility. There's only so much video that a LaserDisc can hold, even if both sides were used. What I don't know is how long each race took and if the ROMs employed some extra tricks to make it appear that there was no pattern to cut down on memorization.
Most of the tech info on QH, including flyers and other detailed stuff, is available here.
Likewise, the emulation of QH in MAME is incomplete (see sets quarterh, quarterha, quarterhb). The LaserDisc needs dumped and the hardware emulation needs perfected. And it looks like MAWS is down so that's all the info I can dig up at the moment.
Anyway, I think I veered this topic that was supposed to be about Sega's huge elaborate horse racing simulator right into the ditch.
