When racing simply hold down R1+R2+L1+L2 in order to regenerate your stamina quickly. You can then press Square until you're going as fast as possible and cruise past the rest. Even with the most weak of Chocobos you should be able to rise quickly to S class as the AI of your competitors is pathetic. Weaker Chocobos (eg any yellow one) will have trouble, however, beating Joe and his black Chocobo TEIOH.
Even with weak Chocobos you should be able to get through C and B class without having to use manual control. However, you may start to have some difficulty when you get into A and S class or when you go up against Joe and TEIOH.


Every now and again, Tifa or Cid will ask to ride the Chocobo. This doesn't make a difference your game, you just get a change from Cloud's spikey head bobbing up and down.
First off, always hold down '''R1+R2+L1+L2''' throughout the race, this will regenerate your stamina. If you're having trouble winning a race, try racing the ''Long'' course (since most Chocobos will let you down on speed rather than stamina). Start of the race by sprinting (hold circle) until you get to around 1/5 stamina left. At this point you should have a comfortable lead, press Square until your Chocobo is going full speed and just run until you get near the end. You'll want to spend whatever stamina you have regenerated at the home stretch, which you means you'll have to judge how far what stamina you have will let you sprint. With this technique I have managed to not only beat any S class race but also beat TEIOH with a Chocobo with just 90 speed and 700 stamina.
 
On an unrelated note, if you have either Tifa or Cid in your party, they may ask to ride. Whatever you choose, it won't affect your game.
