Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love horses, but am not a horseracing person. So it took a little time to get familiar with terms (ie: furlong, betting systems, G1, G2, claiming, "Beyer" speed indexes).
You start out (in Season Mode) with no money & race cheap horses (basically low level claimers) - don't expect to win with them, but they help you win more money & experience to then purchase better horses. In season mode, you do ride the horses (& there is a practice mode to get used to how to do this). You also can wager on races to get more money.
You are not eligible to enter all races until (for ex), your horse has earned enough money, or you have won enough G1 races (like in real life). Horses do peak at a certain age, have their own racing style (front runner etc), surface preference (dirt, turf), innate characteristics (speed, stamina, guts, distances etc).
When you think you have some "keepers" breed them & create a Secretariat of your own. This is where it gets really fun! There is a website where people upload the horses they bred & you race against each other (using a artificial intelligence jockey). Theres even real trophies that you can win at the end of the season...
There is another mode "Free Mode" that functions like a racing arcade game & you also have the option of NOT riding here, but watching horses you picked to race (& then of course bet on too). A nice feature of Free mode tho, is that you can import into free mode a horse you bred (from Season mode) & race it against the best (or worst) game horses to see how well it will do against specific horses.
Although not specifically mentioned, if you know silks, you will see that famous horses from real life & their running styles, are represented here (Ferdinand, Secretariat, Dubai Millenium, Man O War, many, many famous ones!). More about this (& many other features), are explained on the aforementioned website.
This is a good game folks, & you won't be able to put it down!
