yes, but you can't progress the game when offline.Yes I'm sure I could run races, and the part where you groom the horse and i remember throwing carrots at the horse, or into a bucket. It was a lot of screens of Japanese text, so i used to just wing my way through the buttons, but i'm certain i was able to run races and do that.
to my knowledge, with no connection you only may play with no game card, or use new/empty cart to enter your initial data and play game once. next time you use this card game will tell it needs to be online to continue game progress.
card R/W unit was connected to CN3 connectorWish i'd taken a pic of how the card reader was hooked up.
