ABSTRACT:
A board game simulates the sport of horse racing and further provides for the players of the game to place wagers simulating on track betting. The game includes a game board having a race course and infield, player position markers simulating racing horses, simulated money, betting tickets, chips, and chance and odds cards. The course is divided into a series of concentric tracks with each track being occupied by a corresponding marker during a race. Players place bets using the simulated money and receive betting tickets and chips according to their bets; the chips are placed in corresponding areas of an infield portion of the board. The player position markers are advanced according to dice or other chance determination, and moves are further modified in accordance with any chance cards which come into effect in the course of play. Odds cards may also change the odds during the course of the race. The first three markers are assigned win, place and show positions and players win or lose according to their bets made prior to the race. Two or more players or teams may play, and provision is made to cause all player position markers to be played regardless of the number of actual players or teams. The game preferably comprises a series of races, with the player accruing the greatest winnings from his or her bets being the winner.
