Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey & Gallop Racer is a 2011 horse racing simulator video game developed and published by Tecmo Koei for the PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360. The game replicates real-life events such as the Jockey's Cup (also known as the Breeders Cup) and the Louisville Derby (also known as the Kentucky Derby). The Xbox 360 version was not released in North America. A Nintendo Switch port, titled Champion Jockey Special, was released exclusively in Japan in 2017.
Released shortly after Koei and Tecmo merged in 2009, Champion Jockey is a loose crossover between two horse racing game series that they developed while as separate companies: Tecmo's Gallop Racer series and Koei's G1 Jockey series. It is the first game in either series to be available on a Microsoft console and have a Nintendo console version localized for North America.
