Thanks for playing! In the latest update I made the camera a bit faster when the target is far away, but also, that same update has some balance tweaks that should prevent your horse from getting so far ahead so easily, because it wasn't really intended to be that way.
It turned out that in the jam version all the horses had default track and weather preferences, which were programmed not to show up often, but in the new version you should see that info properly now.
Paying for the gallery is a good one, I'll save that idea for another time haha
