Jockey Zero

Jockey Zero is a cartoon-style derby horse-racing game with a focus on direct control in the races. The player is cast as a young boy who dreams of winning the Japan Derby with a horse raised by his father, and who has the curious ability to converse with horses. Unlike most derby games, the focus is entirely on the racing and story, with virtually no simulation or training elements present. The player controls the jockey directly during races, and visual novel-style sequences tell the story between races. There are six different tracks to race on, and over 50 story events that can occur.
