Gallop Racer 2006 is the perennial update to the Gallop Racer series, with the standard gaming modes: Exhibition and Career, as well as new modes like Memorial Quest, where players can participate in over a hundred classic horse races from previous years, and Field of Legend, where players can test their created horses against actual horses from earlier years of horse racing. The setting is set in Gallop Racing Square, a theme park-style arena.
Players can not only design their horses, but they can also race iconic and legendary horses from prior years in horse racing history. The gameplay is nearly identical to earlier versions, with the player pushing buttons at specific points to urge the horse while racing and numerous gauges to monitor, such as the horse’s stamina, position in the race, and mental condition. Players can also bet on races with an authentic experience of betting simulation, considering weather conditions, horse conditions, and horse stats.
