I'd like to put something useful here since no PS2 sites seem to think this game is worth reviewing. First the 2 most used modes in the game will be jockey mode and season mode. In jockey mode you select a course in which to control a chosen horse from the field in each race. You get points awarded for winning or placing in each race (bonus points if you win on an outsider [much harder] and lose points for not winning on a favourite). You get awarded gold, silver or bronze in the overall standings after the race meeting (unlocking other courses in the process). Controlling the horse in a race is simple (X to increase speed, O to slow down and square to use the whip)and different camera views (including checking out your rivals by looking around using L1 and R1) make jockeying in the races really adictive - and when you finally crack the strategy of pacing the horse and whipping at the end the wins will flood in!In season mode you buy horses, build up your stables and earn as much money as possible in 10 years. I too suffered from the bankruptcy problem other people here mentioned. The key is get good at jockeying one type of race (Sprint, Middle, Intermediate or Staying) and then buy your first horse with great handicap scoring for that distance. Then when you race twice in the first month you should be able to place and win some money - also start with lower prize money races of the correct distance so the field is not as strong. By the way i jockey all my races as I think it's silly to waste money hiring jockeys when i can race better than them and i love that part of the game. Races range in class from open right up to G1 where the pinacle race is the Royal Ascot Gold Cup with 400K prize money. There are no jump races though which is a shame - at least I haven't unlocked it if it is hidden.In summary this is a cool spin on normal racing games and is not a "button basher" but strategy and timing are key to successful racing. I love the game and anyone who likes strategic racing and/or horse racing should too.Enjoy...

I have recently written a review on the horse racing tycoon game, however this is much better. unlike many other horse racing games this is like 3 games in 1, be a jockey, a better, or own a stables. I have only played the stables game so far and i am hooked. the only trouble is how easy it is to go bankrupt, it took 2 hours and too many games to count before, i got a decent set up. ( tip buy an expensive horse ). I loved choosing my horses races from listed to G1's. seeing your horses race is almost as good as watching tv. the only downsize is the loading time and the fact that i now have so many horses that i have to have pen and paper for when they are racing. best racing manager game at the moment,at the time of writting this.

I really liked this game, although it took a bit of getting used to. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to load ceratin parts of it which can be a bit of a pain but the graphics are really good.It took me a while to figure out the secret of racing the horse well, and in the season mode where you run your own stables, its quite easy to go bankrupt which is annoying.All in all though I enjoyed the game and if you like horse racing games this one is worth a try.

Realy enjoyed this despite reading differing comments both good and bad.the season mode is difficult to start but as you become accustomed to controls and start making money becomes hugely enjoyable.One big down point is however the short career of ten seasons but other than this altogether a great game for horse racing enthusiasts.

I have tried other horseracing games but this one offers trainer/owner options which is great.
