Turf Hero

Turf Hero is a horse racing simulation game published by Tecmo, and the fifth horse racing game to be released on the system in 1995. The player acquires and trains horses for racing and can also watch races involving other horses. The game was released shortly after BEC's Turf Memories, but the two games are unrelated beyond their horse racing theme. The Turf Hero referred to in the title is the name of a hypothetical legendary horse that would be strong enough win Japan's most prestigious derbies. The player is a horse trainer/owner who follows his father's dream of breeding Turf Hero.
