One side note: The "Gallop Racer" series of games have betting, but the "G1 Jockey" games do not. They still allow progress through the game and the winning of titles and purses, but the betting thing for Gallop Racer adds even more dimension to their game.
I play Gallop Racer too, quite a bit, but I never liked the 2006 version for PS2 and still have it just sitting around. The gameplay seems choppier to me and I don't really like the progression plan they have. Gallop Racer 2004 "A New Breed" is what I'm still playing, and that's more jockey-focused where you earn skills and then get better horses that you can eventually "own" and then breed them yourself and so on and so on.

Looking forward to something cool on 360 someday, but Gallop Racer is awesome (though the '04 one doesn't have betting) and has eaten up way too many days of my life.

And I've got a copy of 2006 sitting around somewhere if someone wants to basically take it off my hands, I won't ever play it.
