Well, I tried both GR2004 and 2006 and after playing for about 3 months on 2006 I took it out of my PS2 and sold it on EBay and went back to playing 2004.. That was last year and I've never looked back.. I just could not get past the fact that you could only race one of your horses at a time on 2006.. It just drove me nuts image as I loved the complexity of riding several of my original horses at one time.. It's like I felt the Temco team had suddenly decided I was a child and couldn't juggle racing a stable full of horses at once! Arrrg! Temco's programmers have always made some serious mistakes in designing the GR games (including killing off mares and forcing players to wait two years, game time, to race horses, creating abusive trainers (sometimes I wanted to shoot that rude Shiba! Win 200 races for the little *^$#*@ in a row and then watch him tell you off when you lose one!) and I doubt if there are any top jockeys in real life that would ever put up with such abusive trainers!).. But nothing ruined 2006 for me like limiting me to racing one horse.. It took away all the fun.. Now, I don't expect many people to agree with me on this but it's just the way I feel.. 2006 had a lot of good points about it, including getting to race your horse right away and they did a great job on redesigning the horses to actually look like they were doing more then a hand-gallop.. I'm sure there were lots of other good things that I've missed, but that one HUGE mistake they made was more then I could handle.. I sure hope the next edition will take a step back to allow the players to race multiple horses again.. Has anyone heard anything about a new one yet? I've looked on the web but haven't seen a thing.. I'd love to know if one will be out soon.. image
