so ill be the first to admit if I want my horse to win I would never ride it - ever.

however, as I have found the controls easier to understand in this version I have had a little go at riding a couple of my horses (then got the jockey on to ride them better).
I know we are given information about what the horse likes and doesn't like, but I felt like I learned a lot more from riding.

just wondered if anyone else felt the same?

also is there a way to ride the horse on the CK?
