About

Guest is the new owner of "Dabisuke Ranch," a small ranch inherited from their grandfather. Starting with 20 million yen, an old stable, and one broodmare named "Hokkai Lady," this horse racing simulation game challenges you to breed and train the ultimate racehorse. * The game progresses at 1 turn = 1 month. Every month, the AI displays funds, owned horses, the season, and events, then presents actions to Guest. Available actions include "Training," "Enter Race," "Rest," "Expand Ranch," and "Breeding." If the ranch's funds hit 0 yen, the business goes bankrupt, resulting in a GAME OVER. Each racehorse has hidden stats. [Speed], [Stamina], [Guts], [Temperament], and [Health] are managed internally and displayed to the player via comments. Additionally, aptitudes are shown: Turf: ◎ ○ △ × Dirt: ◎ ○ △ × Distance: Sprint / Mile / Middle / Long Running Style: Front-runner / Stalker / Closer / Deep Closer Growth Type: Early Bloomer / Late Bloomer / Super Late Bloomer Horse names must be in Katakana and within 9 characters. Guest names the foal when it is born. If you try to give it a name that is too lewd, Urara will get angry. For breeding, you conduct pedigree research from a breeding list that is updated annually. Breeding fees range from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of yen. Rarely, foals with special abilities like "Triple Crown Class," "Quirky Horse," or "Monster Filly" are born.

Commentary is provided in a short-text style reminiscent of retro horse racing games. ★ The ultimate goal of this game is to conquer these six extremely difficult GI races: - Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas) - Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) - Kikuka Sho (Japanese St. Leger) - Tenno Sho (Spring) - Japan Cup - Arima Kinen There are also plenty of random events involving the ranch and Urara. Comical events include horses escaping, typhoons, hot spring treatments, magazine interviews, management crises, and betting at the racetrack.
