The board opens out in book form to form 2 separate large playing surfaces, one for the sale and training rings, the other for the race course.

The full game is divided into 3 stages;

Stage 1 is the auctioning and leasing of horses, when players bid for their choice.

Stage 2 is the training and preparation of the horses for the race. Horses which may be seen as outsiders during bidding, may improve their value during training and vice versa.

Stage 3 involves the race itself, once betting has taken place.

The winner of the game is the winner of the race, irrespective of who has the most money. An excellent example of a Waddington’s game that incorporates strategy, luck, excitement and competition. This is the rare luxury / inventors edition of the game. Useful to have longer and shorter game options.
