GamingUnion.net: "Tecmo Koei have been making horse racing games for years, but in the West at least, they have never been all that popular. That was, until the advent of the Nintendo Wii. It changed everything for the Japanese company and to reflect that, the franchise was given a complete name change. What was previously know as the G1 Jockey franchise is now known as Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey and Gallop Racer. "

Giddyup ... sounds like a pretty decent game, but i dont think i'll get it though
It is a fun game for the most part, just a lot to take in with the control methods.
Debbie's been working to win the coveted title of Champion Apprentice in her first year of Champion Jockey.
"As a new jockey you have to work your way up through the ranks by riding horses at every meet. Thing is, unlike so many racing games, you don’t actually need to win every race to progress. Some horses are nags far past their best and the stable trainers know this. To win approval from your colleagues and gain jockey points, all you really need to do is place higher than the bookies were expecting. You’ll earn points every time this happens, with a large boost when you win. You’ll also gain favour with the trainers, which you’ll need to if you want to ride the best horses and be the champion."
...I`ll Admit it, i had Gallop racer on the original PS1 and i loved it lol, a total surprise.... so i may have to check this out
MoveModo - While some of the world's biggest sports are absent from PlayStation Move — we're looking at you, FIFA and Madden NFL — the controller has proved an enticing prospect for developers keen to bring, shall we say, less widely-embraced sports to the masses. After PDC World Championship Darts: Pro Tour and WSC Real 11, Tecmo Koei has taken the cake — or sugar cube — with its first Move title, Champion Jockey (Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey and Gallop Racer to give its full name).
Hmmm if i had a Move/Kinect I might consider it although I don't think I know enough about horse racing :\
