Be the big winner at the race meeting. There are 2 versions of play;
In the family version, all players bet against the bank (tote).
In the advanced version, there is an edge; each player takes turns to be the bookie and may choose to adjust the odds.

A really simple yet exciting party game. Races come fast and furious. Players bet, starting odds are set, coloured money clips mark your bet and the bookie can change the odds. The position of the horses is chosen by the turn of a card.
The race moves as fast as the nominated commentator can talk.

Advertised as ‘The Fastest Board game in the World’. Devised by ace trainer Charlie Brooks, in conjunction with Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Anthony Pye-Jeary.
