I was so excited before this release but was so dissapointed witht the gameplay. You can only whip the horse when instructed to do so.

There is a very good PC game called Horse Racing Fantasy 2

lol that's funny. So basically the game tells you when to make your move? That's not horse racing! I mean...if I want to set 21 and 44 fractions in a route race while playing a racing video game, I should have the freedom to make that choice.

Starters Orders 3 is by far the most realistic simulation of racing I've found. You can have a look at it here - http://www.startersorders.com

But it's really UK-oriented. The US and Australian parts of the game are far less accurately done.

How many U.S. tracks does Gallop Racer 06 have?

This is by far the best simulation/game out there:

Has real horse files. You can race/set up races with just about every decent horse that has run. The game is free....but the horse files are like 10 bucks each (each file contains a group of horses from each year). Everything is downloaded from their website. You can bet and also be the jockey. Is very similar to Gallop Racer as far as the jockey part of the game. You can choose different camera angles while riding. The horses run EXACTLY like they do in real life. I ran a sprint with Bordanaro,Fabulous Strike,Commentator,Atilla's Storm,Bonapaw,Orientate,Caller One,Shake You Down, and Swept overboard. They destroyed each other up front and Swept Overboard blew by em all in the stretch.


In my opinion by far the best game out there.

I would.....but they are only like 9.95 a for a group. These guys put together a great game...they deserve the money.

Seriously though, is worth downloading the free version with the fantasy/made up horses to try out. Then buy the real horses. The game also comes with a file of like 400 races already set up...you just have to pick which horses to run in em (everything from The Kentucky Derby to The Long Acres Mile at EMD). You can also create your own races at any track out there.

Like I said....is the best game out there...
