About

Champion Jockey: Special is a horse racing simulator in which the player becomes a jockey and leads the racehorse to victory. Aim to be the world's No. 1 jockey by making full use of various actions! Special also features connectivity with the Nintendo Switch version of Winning Post 8, a contemporary installment of another horse racing series developed by Koei and mostly exclusive to Japan, allowing steeds and riders created in one game to appear in the other.

The main feature of the game. Like other racing games, the player starts as a jockey just making their debut and can aim to become the world champion. Players can tame and raise various Japanese or European horses. Original race tracks and other simulation features are within this mode. Players can make this mode as long or as short as they desire to raise several horses or challenge rival jockeys.

Another aspect during races within this mode are "Quest Challenges". These challenges are based on "what-if?" scenarios for historic races or horses. For example, players may choose to become an undefeated champion for Deep Impact's Triple Crown winning spree. When these challenges are cleared, players can obtain new unique race horses for their characters.

Players can increase the benefits gained during their practice sessions by fulfilling "Practice Challenges". Different bonus points can be gained based on the player's performance.
