G1 Jockey

G1 Jockey 3 is a thoroughbred horse racing simulation video game produced by Koei for the PlayStation 2. Although the G1 Jockey series had been gaining popularity in Japan, this was the first game in the series to be released in North America.[4] In contrast to Tecmo's Gallop Racer series, which focuses on every aspect of horse racing (including breeding), G1 Jockey 3 focuses solely on the jockey.

GameSpot's Ryan Davis said that while the game is not very different from the Gallop Racer series, "ultimately, G1 Jockey 3 delivers a more focused, more satisfying experience that seems less like an abstract interpretation of horse racing and more like the real thing." He went on to say that the "presentation is still pretty modest, and much of the game mechanics are too baroque for those without a real passion for horse racing."[5] PC Magazine's Matthew Sarrel gave the game 4/5, saying that the most compelling aspect "is the Career mode, in which you learn the jockey trade, build your reputation, and eventually compete at the highest levels of thoroughbred competition", adding that the "only feature we'd like to see added is the ability to simulate famous historical races."[6]

G1 Jockey 4 is a horse racing simulator published by Koei for the PlayStation 2 in Japan.

A Wii version called G1 Jockey Wii of the game was released June 29, 2007. It received mildly favorable reviews, including a 7/10 from Eurogamer and a 6.9 from IGN.

G1 Jockey 4 2007 (ジーワンジョッキー4 2007) is a horse racing simulator published by Koei for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 in Japan on November 1, 2007.[8] It is the sequel of G1 Jockey 4.

A playable demo was released on the Japanese PlayStation Store on October 2007.[9]

A G1 Jockey 4 2007 and Winning Post 7 Maximum 2007 Premium Pack bundle for both the PlayStation 2[10] and PlayStation 3 versions was released on November 1, 2007.[11]

After Koei merged with Tecmo in 2009 to form the joint company Tecmo Koei, Koei then developed Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey & Gallop Racer for the PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360, becoming the first game in either series to be available on a Microsoft console and have a Nintendo console version localized for North America. The game is a crossover with Tecmo's Gallop Racer series and incorporates elements from both the G1 Jockey and Gallop Racer series, while also supporting motion controllers. A Japan-exclusive Nintendo Switch port, titled Champion Jockey Special, was released in 2017.
