About
Leave your hoofprints in the latest installment of the horse racing simulation game Winning Post series, Winning Post 10 2026! Become an owner-breeder and experience the drama of the horses and people living in the horse racing world.
Key Features
- Master the History of Famous Horses and Gameplay of Winning Post – New features include “Cinema Events,” highlighting legendary races that shaped Japanese horse racing, and a “Famous Horse Correlation Chart” showing relationships with era-specific horses. As bonds deepen, racing and reproductive abilities improve. If your horse achieves historic success, you can create a “Yushun Poster” with dynamic layouts and catchy slogans to showcase its personality.
- Build Your Own “Founder Line” With an Improved Breeding System – “Founder lineage” is now the highest honor in bloodline creation. Beyond bloodline prosperity, the performance of descendants is crucial, making breeding more challenging. New elements like “vitality” and “drama factor” have been added, key to producing legendary horses. The evolved system aims for the ultimate goal of “promoting to the founder lineage.”
- Enhanced “Strongest Horse Road Online” – A new rarity, “SSR” famous horse cards, has been introduced. These cards feature powerful horses with large “flowering points” for development. Stacking identical cards allows you to “break limits” and greatly boost abilities. Using them in breeding produces even stronger horses.
- Improved Visual Representation of Historic Horses – The variety of horse equipment has increased, with more detailed visuals of famous horses. Temperament-correcting gear like “pacifier” has been added. Racecourse grass texture now varies by era and season, creating more authentic racing scenes reflecting different periods.
- Power-Up Elements – Starting from 1968, the oldest scenario, and including the 2020 Triple Crown Showdown, new scenarios are available. The game now features the latest successful horses, new commentary, and a female secretary, enriching the experience for horse owners.
