And they're off - racing through the plains in Multiplayer Horse Racing, part of the new Liars and Cheats Pack.

With Multiplayer Horse Racing, the Liars and Cheats Pack brings one of the most fan-requested DLC updates to the world of Red Dead Redemption Multiplayer.  Races support up to 8 players, and each multiplayer contest is a cup-style tournament that consists of anywhere from 3 to 5 races, where players earn points based on their position of finish.

RedDeadDev6 breaks away from the pack.

In addition to the exhilarating thrills of head-to-head racing on horseback, the new Multiplayer Horse Racing mode brings something else to the track - mounted combat.  After a designated brief period of calm at the start of each race, players can draw their guns and take aim at opponents.

Marston and Marshal Johnson prepare to take aim at Professor MacDougal and first place, while Irish and Bill Williamson try charging to the front via more traditional means.

In each race, you are given a fixed amount of guns and ammunition and there is no auto-targeting, but players can acquire more by running over weapons that have been dropped by opponents that have been killed.  If killed during a race you simply re-spawn with a small time penalty.
