Pretty fun, tons of horses and races to choose from

I really love horse racing, so I found this game to be pretty fun. There are an enormous amount of horses to choose from to race with lots of statistics about each one. The game itself is a little bit tricky to figure out how to work, but only for a couple of races. I have found it to be a challenge though - not too easy!

Finally, a horse racing sim!

First off, to any horse racing fan, this is definately a "must have". The graphics are great and the races challenging. The only drawbacks are that it may be too deep. The instructions are sparse so expect to lose a bunch before you figure it out. The strategy is great but I still haven't mastered all the meters and gauges even though I consistently win. Hmm.... It would be nice to have more practical info in the directions or at least a website to goto for hints. This game is so deepI KNOW I must be missing stuff. The other drawback is that even with all the racing features, it still seems to lack something. Betting would be nice touch as would training your horses. However, criticisms aside, this is one good game. Invite over your buddy and challenge him to a 2-player version. This will guarantee fun and the yelling of "Go baby, Go! "

Great for Horselovers

I love horses so when I saw this game I wanted it instantly! It was easy and challengeing depending on the race. There are lots of pretty horses to chose from, besides the different tracks and it's condition. It also helps you learn about different racing terms and picking the best odds.

Gallop racer is a great game if you love Horse Racing. It has over 100 horses to choose from and about 6 tracks. It's my advice for people to buy this because it is a great game.

Go, Baby, Go!

This is one of the best games I have played, ever. I was afraid at first that it might be more fanciful than I wanted, that maybe the horses were not even going to be horses at all, robots perhaps. But thankfully, they are truly horses. This is a most realistic game, with conditions such as sloppy tracks, getting bumped and dealing with getting boxed in. Most fun of all is winning the big races, because by the time you accomplish such a thing, you have truly put in your time with eating a lot of dust. You gradually build up a stable of better and better champs, and are invited to race in previously unknown races. Special trophies are awarded to the best horses, and when they retire, they are placed in a "hall-of-fame", where their stats are memorialized. A knowledge of horse-racing is almost a must before playing this game, such as knowing the difference between a dirt and turf track, a sprinter and a distance horse, and understanding how horses peak differently. Handicapping also comes into play. All in all, this is a most rich, educational game. Perhaps most of all, I have learned how much jockeying can make or break a race, no matter how good the horse.

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.

Awesome!

Awesome, one of the best I played, each horse has a real personality, track conditions everything and more. A little tricky at first but it can be mastered. I recommend it for someone with alot of horse experience.

I love this game!

This game was sooooo awesome! Before getting a Playstation, I owned a Sega Saturn. Winning Post for that platform was pretty much the only Horse Racing Sim out there. When my Saturn packed up i thought "Oh No!" but then I saw Gallop Racer and got a Playstation and fell in love with the game. I'm addicted to it now! It was a bit tricky to pick up the controls at first and I lost a lot, but after I figured it out, I was home free. I beat the game in four weeks I played it so much. I'm planning on starting a web page about the game. Play this game. You'll love it!

Best playstation game ever

This game is the all time best game. It has many different types of games. You can play season mode where you perchese horses and race them yourselves. You put them in the race you want. You get money for 1st-5th. It sounds easy but its hard. You get better horses as you go along. It has a 2 player game that is fun for the whole family. You can have any horse from about 300 its great. I recomend it to all raceing fans and top noch gamers.
