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.
Leading Jockey '99 is the sequel to Leading Jockey Highbredd and is too a horse racing game. The game begins too choosing 2 horses to breed and create a proper racing horse that will be born of the union of those 2 horses.
In the game the player can compete in differents tracks and in a variety of weather conditions like sun, cloudy or rain. The gameplay is really arcade since to gain speed the player has to press the Circle Button lots of time, but it also has to be careful not to tire so much his horse or the horse stamina will be over, and reduce to speed at the end of the race, so is better to be in the group and accelerate in the last part of the race to have some chances of win.
