Melbourne Cup Challenge/Frankie Dettori Racing

[_Ed_]

I assume Hard Mode is more difficult...I managed to win the race with one of the outsiders, I was 6-7 wide the whole way and went about 10 wide around the turn.

Looks like a good game though, Flemington looks absolutely brilliant.

 

[Great Birtannia]

I have G1 Jockey, G1 Jockey 3 and Gallop Racer on the PS2. Great games but after a while you can boot home anything. This game was due out before the Spring carnival last year wasn't it? It better be worth the wait.

 

[luffy]

I've played G1 Jockey. Good Game.

 

[Blewy]

Well the demo was on easy mode so i would say that it would be harder on the higher levels, but to what extent remains to be seen... That will be the make or break factor..

Both Flemington and Randwick are awesome, both are lifelike..

Not long to wait now though...

ffs

In all fairness, NZ racing isnt of the greatest quality...

Yes they produce alot of good horses but there are no real world class races over there...

 

[_Ed_]

Let's agree to disagree on that.

 

[Blewy]

Let's agree to disagree on that.

Ok let me clarify that so you dont get the wrong impression...

NZ racing doesnt really rate a mention on the world racing stage..

The quality is good but they dont draw the international horses (Which is probably more due to prizemoney)..

 

[_Ed_]

Oh right, yeah that's fair enough.

Hopefully that might change in future though with four races worth a million or more in 2008 including a $2 million Kelt.

 

[Slats4ever]

got the game and it's really good. Bit easy but. Hoping to win the Melbourne Cup soon

 

[Blewy]

Yeah Great game... Currenlty in my 2nd season and the stable is going great guns.. Had quite a few Group 1 winners including one of my regally bred 3yo's winning the Victoria Derby..

Im now in the process of getting my star 2yo into the Slipper field, if she wins her next start she will be in and will be very very hard to beat...

 

[Simon]

ill get it soon, maybe next week sometime...
