Winning Post 9 2022 is a Japanese horse-racing simulation built around the intertwined fortunes of horses and the people in their world. You take the role of an owner and breeder, shaping a stable’s prospects while following the drama of racing. The game’s central addition, “Yushun no Kizuna,” makes relationships between horses part of that management: designate a stablemate as a training partner or race together to develop a bond, which can bring bonuses and open up further strategic choices.
Its Starting Year Scenarios span distinct periods of Japanese racing history. The 1976 scenario centers on the celebrated TTG trio of Tosho Boy, Ten Point and Green Grass, while the 2012 setting features horses including Gold Ship and Gentildonna. The historical roster also draws on a broad range of eras, with about 900 horses added, alongside contemporary racing data for 2022. Together, these elements frame the simulation around both the changing sport and the challenge of building a racing operation across time.
Online competition is another part of the design, with ranked matches and the Online WP Championship among the modes described. Other additions include overseas farms during historical play, a new breeding theory called “Subparameter Explosive Power,” race strategies and a Hong Kong short-distance bonus series. The result is a management-focused take on horse racing that combines relationship-building, breeding decisions, historical scenarios and competitive play rather than treating the races as isolated events.
