The best racing game ever of ANY kind.

I'm a big horseracing fan and I follow the races even minus the betting. I'm also a veteran computer gamer meaning I have played countless driving and racing sims. The beauty of this game is the UNPREDICTABILITY of each race. Like in all classic racing sims from the old "Street Rod" to "Gran Turismo" the same formula is used here: Build, Race, Win, Upgrade - but with the intriguing twist of each horse's individuality. The game itself is not so simple. As owner/trainer you must be careful to place your horse in the proper race. As jockey it's up to you to give your mount every possible chance. Ultimately what will keep you entranced with this game is what you can't do: In other games we "Save" before each race and "Restart Race" if we lose, being wiser from the experience; here it will be a new race each time.
I recommend this game to the problem gambler going "cold turkey", for his horseracing fix, as the action is SO real. To the uninitiated you will develop a deep understanding of why "The Sport of Kings" continues to fascinate royalty and commoner alike through the ages.

If you love horse racing, this is the game for you! I got it for Christmas and had a blast playing it all night. It is worth the [money]. My favorite horse is Rai Babe. She Rocks! When I play this game I always think I am really riding. Plus, you can breed your own horse in the Season Mode, name it, and personalize it. You must read the directions BEFORE you play or you will not understand the game. You can even watch other people race or duel your friends! This is a excellent game!

Great horselover game!

This game is great!I bought this game because I love horses and I love to ride them! The graphics are great and the practice mode you can have ANY horse you want! I must say though, the season mode is very hard to keep up with since you can't afford a top winning horse right away- and you might loose alot of races and lose even more money. Otherwise its great and if you don't want what I just said to happen, practice mode is where you want to be! I highly recommend this to horse lovers everywhere!

Great Game-Highly Recommend!

I highly recommend this game for anyone who loves statistics and/or horse racing. Just a warning, the first few races are very difficult. After a few races though, the game gets much easier. Unlike most games, even when you become an expert at the game, you don't win all the time. There are literally hundreds of horses to choose from, and you can even breed your own. Once you're tired of the horses that came with the game, you can discover how to unlock secret horses that are even better than the ones originally with the game. As I said before, this is a great game that is complex with many different stats on the horses. This is great for kids and adults.

great game

killer graphics, great skill needed, different every race. draw back, no betting and may no training also could use a few more races. overall fun and as another person said deep. this to me is a good thing, I just wish there was a harness game too.

after you get through the logistics

I love the strategy of this game-different horses have different talents-some sprint, some finish strong. The racing part of this plus the huge choice of horses are the best. But I have to say, the process of creating a composite horse has me confused. A few weeks after owning this, I still have not figured it out. Also, it would be great if you could bet on your horse, which you can't.

Doesnt miss a Check

This is the best Playstation game EVER. I own race horses and this is as real as it gets.

Excellent for Simulation Fans

If you like simulation games you will love this title. It is very fun and challenging. You won't just pick this title up and start running in the top level races. It will require time and patience. The game takes seconds to learn and weeks to master. The replay apeal is high. I have an xbox but I bought this game for my PSX because it is just that good.
