They even have what looks to be a break meter (Break as in the horses leaving the gate) to keep your horse steady. Also something about trying to unlock some of your horses hidden abilities while racing them (hence the Ability screen shot).

Hopefully they will use some of the ideas that this forum has mentioned for a new gallop racer game...Im not impressed with the screen shots... but im not an expert either... as long as the game is enjoyable and not "dumb" ..

the top graphics look good, slighhtly better then gr2001 but the bottom ones look a bit dark and its to kiddish gaaa! lol but i would still buy.
Look at the 4th pick, it looks like they have many more types of stats for the horses.

Just for the cost of translation. Horse racing has a large fan base over there, while in North America it's a Niche game. I just wish they got the license somehow to get the real horse and jockey names in the game, just like they do in Japan.

It looks like they would just make the game in English to begin with to save in translation. Nearly everyone in japan speaks english and all their games are at least partially in English and almost all the horse racing game have English covers. It looks like as a business move they would do this and make games available to the US and Europe/Australia this way. In about 10 years I bet most games are made this way.
