In the game, players take the role of an apprentice jockey thrust into the highly competitive sport of thoroughbred racing. Over the course of a season, players face fierce competition as they battle to become the world’s top Grade 1 jockey. All the action and the vibrant spectacle of thoroughbred racing are captured in real-time 3D. Players have full control of their steed right out the gate and all the way to the furious finish.

Arcade-style racing is only part of the action. From negotiating with trainers to year-end award ceremonies, G1 Jockey 3 faithfully recreates the drama of the trackside world.
