5. IF YOU LOOSE, YOUR STAKE GOES BACK TO THE TOTE, BUT IF YOU WIN YOU THEN CUT THE BETTING ODDS CARDS TO SEE WHAT ODDS THE HORSE WON AT, AND THEN TAKE YOUR WINNINGS FROM THE TOTE.

6. THE NAME OF THE GAME IS TO SEE WHO WINS THE MOST MONEY DURING THE AMOUNT OF THE RACES DECIDED UPON.

PLAYING THE RACING GAME WHEN YOU START PLAYING THE RACING GAME THE BROWN SQUARES ARE FENCES AND THE BLUE ONE IS A WATER JUMP.

IF YOUR THROW LANDS ON A BROWN FENCE THIS IS CONSIDERED TO BE A GOOD JUMP SO YOU GO ON A FURTHER TWO SQUARES, BUT IF YOUR THROW LANDS ON THE LAST BROWN FENCE BEFORE THE WINNING POST THEN THIS IS A BAD JUMP AND YOUR HORSE IS ELIMINATED FROM THE RACE.

THE BLUE WATER JUMP MEANS THAT IF YOU LAND ON IT, YOU MISS A THROW.

TO WIN YOU MUST ALSO THROW THE RIGHT SCORE TO LAND ON THE RED WINNING POST.
