Horse Racing (US) or horseracing (UK) is an equestrian sport that has been practiced for millennia. It is inextricably associated with gambling. The common sobriquet for Thoroughbred horse racing is The Sport of Kings.

Horse racing is an equestrian sport and major international industry, watched in almost every nation of the world. There are three types: "flat" racing; steeplechasing, i.e. racing over jumps; and harness racing, where horses trot or pace while pulling a driver in a small, light cart known as a sulky. A major part of horse racing's economic importance lies in the gambling associated with it, an activity that in 2008 generated a world-wide market worth around US$115 billion.

Japan conducts more than 21,000 horse races a year in one of three types: flat racing, jump racing (races over hurdles), and Ban'ei Racing (also called Draft Racing).

There are a total of thirty racetracks in Japan. Ten of these tracks are known as "central tracks", where most of Japan's top races are conducted. Races at these ten tracks are conducted by the Japan Racing Association (JRA), which operates under the oversight of the Japanese government. The remaining twenty tracks are operated by municipal racing authorities and run under the affiliation of the National Association of Racing (NAR). Two tracks, Sapporo Racecourse and Chukyo Racecourse, run separate meetings under either JRA or NAR jurisdiction.

Gallop Racer is a horse racing simulation game, created by Tecmo. Gallop Racer is an open-ended game. You buy horses to train, race, and breed. Most of the Gallop Racer franchise revolves around this theme.

Horses are classified into four leg types and two classes depending on what surface they like to run on, and where they like to run during the race. The four leg types are:
* Front Runner
* Preceder
* Pack Runner
* Closer

The two classes are Dirt Horse and Turf (grass) horse.
Each horse must be ridden according to its leg type and class or will begin to lose its stamina rapidly.
They are several horses that can be unlocked and bought during the game.

Races in Gallop Racer are divided into four classes, depending on the quality of the horses in the race, and the type of race:
* Open
* Grade III
* Grade II
* Grade I

Most of the major tracks in the United States, Japan, and Europe are featured. The races do not however go by their official names. Example, the three races in the US Triple Crown are known as The Louisville Derby, The Baltimore Derby, and The New York Derby. Races like the US Triple Crown races, and the Dubai World Cup (known in the game as the Dubai Universal Cup) must be unlocked by winning certain races, and meeting certain requirements.

Races can range in distance from 5 furlongs, all the way up to two miles (16 furlongs), and all race distances are the same as their real life counterpart.
