I like the feel of gallop racer for a number of reasons.
Firstly it is easier for the jockey to manouevre his way through the field mid race. Controlling horses speed is harder without bumping into other horses which also causes a loss of stamina and or horse resentment. I like the idea of pace and how your positioning affects the final outcome. Very difficult to win from back in a slow run race. Moving the horse into gaps is more real rather than just shuffling sideways. But most of all I like the range of tracks much better and how the race pans out. In G1 Jockey 4 on a tight track the front runner will almost always occupy one of the first three finishing positions winning most of the time. I am still looking forward to G1 as I have just received an e-mail from Koei saying I will be able to train as many horses as I want and breed from them. Sounds brilliant. Hope the actual racing sequence has improved as much as they say! One final thing I would like implemented is the handicapping system. Something on the lines of Starters Orders would be fantastic. :D
