If you’ve been chomping at the bit for a virtual horse racing simulator, Gamecyber’s Jockey Viva Go looks to be the front-runner of choice. Released for both iOS and Android devices, the game will have you work your way up from trainee jockey to stable master, managing racing beasts bred for victory.

The first thing you’ll notice about Jockey Viva Go is that there are multiple ways to race: Regular, Trophy, Betting, and Challenge. Each race offers unique ways in which to achieve a higher class of horse, whether that’s by racing against others knock-out style in Trophy race or boiling it strictly down to skill in a Regular race.

Jockey Viva Go’s Training mode is where you'll hone your horse's abilities, such as its speed, power and energy. Once your training schedule's in place and you've decided which of your thoroughbreds offer the best chance winning, all that’s left is to master Jockey Viva Go’s unique “acceleration control” style of play.

There's more than 100 races to take part in every day and a levelling system that’s based on victories rather than exp gain.

Those interested can hoof it to either the Google Play or App Store. Jockey Viva Go is free to download now.
