This edition far surpassed GR2003. The only aspect that would make this edition better is betting. If the betting was the same as GR 2003, this would be perfect. In the GR 2003 you could bet on your own races that you raced, which gave you lots of money. Now you can only bet on races you are not racing in. Adding the trainers to the game made it alot more interesting as well as the rival competition. I can't wait to further explore the breeding of the horses. I am up to year 3 and i have 2 horses that will conceive in the next year. This game is alot of fun. If you love Gallop racer this is my favorite better than even 2006, YOu must get this version. The original manual for 2003 and 2004 used together are priceless they apply to both versions. Any information you can't figure out in 2004 is explained in the 2003 book. As far as abilities of the horses is concerned. They left that useful information out of 2004's manual. This game may be frustrating for someone new to the horse racing game genre. However the instruction manual and the Academy classes in the game are very thorough in teaching the game to any beginner. I give this game 10 stars out of 5. Its my favorite racing game,... not of the automobile variety :)Read full review
This is one of my favorite games! Its management intensive and there are a lot of stats to track. I actually have to write charts in a notebook where I keep track of which horses need to go into which races each season to win certain titles or year end awards. You do have to micro manage your horse during the race and know when to do what. I've even got a little formula to know when to whip certain horses. Not a game for most people, but a great game for some. I love breeding my own horses and giving them spiffy names, then seeing them win G1 races.
I have been buying the gallop racer series since the first one came out, and i feel this one is the best. Even better then 2006. It allows you to own and race horses, as well as run other trainers horses. It has great graphics. In previous gallop racers i have found that the only way to win was to use cheats. With this version that is not needed. It provides a challenge but allows you to get animals that stand a chance of winning. So If you like Horses, and racing them i would recomend this game for you .
Great game for value.

Well I love this game because I love horses and I had before gallop Racer 2001 and I got rid of it. That was a mistake that I did now that I saw gallop Racer 2004 on Ebay I decide to bid on it and I got. And now I play the game about two hours a day..
