First impression was that the riding was too hard. Over time though I have come to the realisation that this is what I want. As I go along I find that I am getting better and more used to the screen and controls. This is real as you cant win every time, as a jockey starting out you do get the crap horses and trainers wont put you on there good ones straight away. The breeding seems a bit too random for me at this early stage. I bred 2 that both said super early maturing and the foal was late and slow or something like that. I know that can happen though. So early thoughts are this is a pretty good game, I like everything in G1 4 better than G1 3 except the actual riding screen,controls etc.
