Horse breeding is reproduction in horses, and particularly the human-directed process of selective breeding of animals, particularly purebred horses of a given breed. Planned matings can be used to produce specifically desired characteristics in domesticated horses. Furthermore, modern breeding management and technologies can increase the rate of conception, a healthy pregnancy, and successful foaling.

Winning Post is a thoroughbred horse racing simulation game series from Tecmo Koei (originally Koei), first appearing in 1993. The series is distinct from Koei's other horse-racing franchise, G1 Jockey, and Tecmo's Gallop Racer series.

Winning Post 5 is the second game in the series for the Playstation 2 console (the first one was Winning Post 4 and his data updates). The game features 3 different female helpers at the beginning for the player to choose one of them to be his assistant during all the game. The game features also 8 different places to put the game farm.

Winning Post 5 Maximum 2003: The latest Winning Post game from Koei introduces a new feature where players may choose the type of farm owner one wishes to start off as. Choose from a humble proprietor with a small farm or vault to the echelons of horse barons with a sprawling empire under your watchful eye. Two other owner types may also be chosen which affect the play variables of the game.

Updated game information on the horses, jockeys and recent news has been integrated in the database. In addition to horse breeding and training, jockeys may also be groomed into fighting shape to aid and abet your racing winnings.

Horse racing data from previous Koei horse games such as Winning Post 5 Maximum 2002, Horse Breaker and GI Jockey 3 may be ported over.

Compared to the previous edition, the jockey training system has been modified to add additional options, and two more additional difficulty levels have been added.
