The aim is to be as nasty as possible to your fellow players and cunning and devious enough to win the most money after 6 races.
Get money by;
- your horse being placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd
- placing a bet on the winning horse

Players may deliberately try to lose the race if they have bet on another horse. You may also play Really Nasty cards which can nobble your own or other horses. Other players do not know until the end, which horse you have bet on. There are some very good play options which make the gameplay more skillful than other standard horseracing games.

The box base includes favourable comments about the game written by critics from newspapers and specialist racing magazines.
"Children of all ages wanted to play it at every available moment. This game brings together all the family values of bribery, shiftiness, bluffing, blackmail and double-crossing with lots of laughter and fun, a winner!" The Good Toy Guide
"A wickedly exciting board game...the nice thing about the game is you need no knowledge of horseracing to enjoy it" The Daily Mail.
