Gallop Racer 2006 PS2 is the latest version of this horse racing game and is developed for the PS2 machine.

Gallop Racer 2004 PS2 is an earlier verison of Gallop Racer which is still available for sale. In this version you start your career as a rookie jockey riding in lower class claiming races. As you improve, you are offered better horses in better races.

Similar to Gallop Racer in it's concept the G1 Jockey game allows you to develop a career as a horse racing jockey from rookie to expert in Group 1 races, hence the title.

As with Gallop Racer you can eventually own and train your own horses.
