  This is a fun and fast horseracing game of bet and bluff. Turn your original £100 stake money into as much cash as possible during the course of a race meeting. Players bet on each race and by playing their cards right, endeavour to get their horse across the finishing line in first or second place. But as they say in the rules, take care, bet too heavily and you can lose your shirt.
