Speaking of games I got that new Gr.1 Champion Jockey or whatever it's name is on Wii for Christmas.

I set up a career and actually won my first race. Then I felt like Abel Lezcano as I was riding nothing but 70-1 shots for weeks in the game. Finally about halfway through my first year I started to get a little better and got on some nice horses.

I like it. Not as much as Gallop Racer and a little too chatty for my taste, with the trainers, other jocks, etc. But with the wii it makes it kind of fun.

I would've put you at about 70/1 to be the person to answer my question.

But thanks, you'd think after playing this game for 5 years that I would've thought of this at least once before last night.

I also got this one for Christmas. Been through about 1/2 the training modes and I like it already. Been sick the past 4 days and haven't touched it, but looking forward to jumping back in once I feel better......

One thing I haven't looked at yet....can you change the distances from meters to furlongs?

Gallop Racer is pretty hard to beat... it's fun, somewhat realistic and fast paced. I have the new Wii game as well, although I haven't played it enough yet.

One of the best games for the computer: www.startersorders.com
