Horse Racing Video Games: Are there any good ones out there?

[FlyinLate]

I've been searching around online for a couple of days now and haven't found much. Have any of you played any horse racing video games either for the PC, Xbox, or Playstation? If so what ones are worth a purchase/download? I have some free time coming up soon and this could be entertaining. Thanks in advance for any help.

I've played the game a few times at my local D&B and enjoyed it. I haven't been able to locate a personal version of the game though.

From my DerbyTrail post of yesterday.

I own G1 Jockey for Wii and have played it using the Wii controls and the balance board. The gameplay is straightforward when it comes to racing, as the controls and graphics make it an enjoyable experience. To some extent you can get the feel of what jockey's go through in races while trying to weave traffic or how to deal with trouble. The play is very realistic.

The game has its biggest problem in the simulator/storyline portion of the game where the game looks more like Leisure Suit Larry circa 1988 where the jockeys beg from work from trainers using annoying text-based messages that require input from the user at each sentence. It takes forever to move the game along, which adds nothing to the overall experience of gameplay. It needs to be eliminated or seriously updated. I won't play the game because of it.

G1 Jockey has a great racing engine, and with the Wii controls, a seriously realistic game, its just the storyline that makes Monkey Ball look more attractive every time I play it.

Yes, American Wii users can creatively find a way to play out-of-region games, but I'm sure if you have the "skill" to accomplish that, you will know where to find the details on "how" to do that.

I still play the original Gallop Racer, though it may be tough to find. You can find free PS emulators for your PC and play on your computer. X-box controller works great. If anybody does this, I have an image of the disk you can use to play. Just drop me a PM.

I hear this one is good, but haven't had the time nor inclination to start playing.
