 Not what it seems!! April 6, 2009
Paulette Beverly
I bought this game because it said that you could race , win money, have horses, and a own a stable too. You can only have up to 3 horses and all of them are males. You don't get to breed your own horses you have to breed them to the horses of the stable's owner. As far as I have tried you can't bet on the horses. In a race the other jockeys can push and shove you causing you to loose the race. You don't ever get to own your own stable you just go to a more expensive stable. There are basically two race tracks that you go to, each with a sand and dirt part. The people who made the game didn't tell the truth about it. I couldn't believe how different the back of the cover of the game was to the actual game. I was deeply disapointed with paying for a game that was totally different from what was said. The graphic aren't great and the people just don't look right! This game is one I would recommand to a person who doesn't want to learn about breeding horses or really racing them. The game to me is really only fun when you don't have any horse racing games at all!! This game is not worth the price, it should be given away for free! People shouldn't be able to create games and put things that you can't do in it on the cover so people will buy it! I used up all od my allowance to buy this game! It wasn't fair that you buy a game that on the cover has nice graphics and is lied to on the back cover! THIS GAME IS NOT A GAME YOU WANT IF YOU WANT TO HORSE RACE!!!This game is far from the best and I hope my review helped you with considering if this is a game you want or not.
 Very confusing and time goes way too fast for enjoyment January 13, 2009

I was very disappointed with this. With little explanation or useful manual the time goes so fast it's hard to find a way to play enjoyably. Would not recommend to anyone. Not even any useful online support. It's way too confusing for a preteen or even younger.

fun, but not as advertised January 3, 2009

I have had this game for a couple of weeks now, and it is quite fun, but not as advertised on the box. To start with, buy the best horse you can for your money. Train it in everything it is short on, I usually skip the first race to make it better, then enter the next race. If you know what you are doing (use the ctrl button to use the crop to increase the horse's speed, but be cautious of the horse's stress level) you can win pretty easily.
There is minimal grooming, you can interact with your horse and pet it or talk to it, but that's it. And, if your horse doesn't like it, that can lower your relationship points. You have to use trial and error to find what your horse responds to. There are different treats you can use in the game and different interractions.
The horse also responds differently to the different types of feed. In my experience, the higher costing barns will offer you a more fair price on a trained horse. I started with a cheap horse, raced it and won, then got offered to breed. I bought the foal, sold the sire, trained the foal, got offered to breed. I bought that foal, sold that sire, and so on. I have a pretty nice looking horse now, and haven't bought a horse except a foal I have bred.
This really is a kid's game. My kids love it, and have fun. A fun aspect is if you have more than one profile, all the horses records show against each other, so if you have a friend or sibling playing on your computer, you can try to beat each other's records.
More work than fun December 16, 2008

You have to do everything, even ride your horse while training and guide it around the track. Unless you have good motor skills (which I don't due to a disAbilty), it is not the game for you.
