Gallop Racer 2004 is a great game! But don't be fooled by the "SO easy to play!" signs. It's great, but you need to work to win! You can't expect to win the first time out, or you'll lose until finally find "The Horse", as I call it. But if you have patience, you'll finally win a race, therefore giving you your next goal: G1. These are top class horses, so you need a top class horse to beat them. While I have won these races with C and B rated horses, I'd try to get a S or SS horse (a.k.a. REALLY good horse) to do the right the first time. For those of you who like to be yelled at(I won't ask why), choose Shibayama or Cook as your first trainer. Those of you who don't really care, I'd choose Nozawa! You have been warned that Free Mode and Battle Mode are VERY boring! But that is just my experience! And remember: you can be the best rider in the game, but it isn't just the jockey. The horse has to be good, too. Well, I have to go play Gallop Racer! Good Luck, and thanks for reading!
