ABSTRACT:
A horse racing game apparatus is provided in which two or more people play on a game board by moving playing pieces around race-track shaped path. The path is two independent and concentric tracks that simulates dirt and turf track conditions, respectively. Players have a score card, to keep track of points, a racing horse card, to determine strengths and weaknesses of their horse during play, and a racing card, to determine the type of track to use in a given race as well as the potential prize money. Throughout the game, players pick cards to determine the course of play. Such cards include Weather Cards, Longshot Cards, Inquiry Cards and Photo Finish Cards. The object of the game is to score the most number of points and gain the most prize money. Due to the added parameters found in actual horse racing, the apparatus of the present invention can closely simulate horse race track action.
