Additional Information

Returning for a second lap on the PlayStation 2, Gallop Racer 2003: A New Breed once again challenges players to take the reins of horse stable management. A mandatory tutorial walks players through the various aspects of this equestrian-themed sports game, of which the actual races are but one aspect of play. The race itself is composed of three segments, each offering a slightly different gameplay mechanic and requiring a different strategy. In order to break from the starting gate as quickly as possible, players need to be successful with a series of carefully timed button presses. The middle portion of the race requires jockeys to ease into the position in the pack that best suits the horse's unique temperament and sensibilities. Failure to do so will drain the horse's stamina quickly. The final segment of the race requires measured use of the whip in order to spur the horse on, as excessive whipping will cause speed to drop significantly.

Away from the track, players will need to engage in the day-to-day activities of scheduling new race meetings, purchasing new horses, breeding new champions (young foals take on the combined attributes of both parents), and placing a wagers on the outcome of upcoming events. Although the title offers over 2,500 horses, players are encouraged to breed new champions, and are assisted in doing so by a series of mini-games that affect the final statistics of the newborn. The jockey, too, can improve as the season endures. In a departure from Tecmo's previous effort, Gallop Racer 2003 allows gambling during the actual season, however this revised system only allows players to bet on their own horses. Winnings can be used to purchase new equipment and facilities, or put toward the acquisition of new horses.
