The Winning Post series is based on Japanese horse-racing. In it, players become owners/breeders and experience the drama between the people and horses of the horseracing world. A new system through which the bonds between horses, rather than between human and horse, forge new dramas and strategies. By racing against and developing your bonds with other horses, you may be able to demonstrate more power than you are capable of. For example: Gold Ship can be a close friend of Just A Way, and be on bad terms with Tosen Jordan. Form bonds not just true to history, but also ones unique to the game.
