This is way too cool! I love it. I'd love to have that mat/felt too. Any way you can share the template?

So has anyone made a horse racing game board yet that is adapted to use Blanton’s bottle toppers for the horses?

I stumbled on this version that I've never saw before.

The only negative I see is that the horses have felt underneath and get moved to the next painted spot instead of the peg & peg hole style of the others.

You need at least two racks of the bet size (say quarters) and at least a rack of the next denom (say $1). For 400 I would bring 200x quarters, 160x $1 and 40 buy-in chips ($20).

Had to DIY some simple marker for the scratched out horse

Any chance this might become available on the table topper thread? I'm in love with it.
Horse racing last night did not go well for me, last race of the night and both the girls had all the twos. Can you tell they’re happy?

Amazon delivery!
Also bought a craps bumper just in case @BruceWayne feels an overwhelming urge to share his table topper design.

Wait what? There’s a full size topper?I’ll be getting one of those for sure but I also want the table size horse race topper…it’s magnificent.
Makes me wonder if I should build a giant wooden version… Give it place of prominence as wall art and use much larger horses with names painted on them. “Dropping a Deuce”, “Jaa Cough”…
I’ve built giant cribbage boards.
Hmmm…

Had some time to kill so I thought I’d create a board on an Excel spreadsheet. Why, you ask? I dunno, purty colours and stuff.
I guess you could call it the bastard love child of the efforts of @rrobyrrroby and @BruceWayne
Needless to say it was a slow day at work.

Played this the other week and it was a blast. Might be fun if you enjoy the horse racing game in this thread.
Basically the same sort of thing, but you're placing prop bets as you would at a roulette table. Catch is only one player can place a bet on a specific prop. There are some rotating props as well. There is action, there is yelling - we had a blast.
Bets can get placed anytime until two horses cross the line about 3/4 of the way through the race.
You roll dice and run the race manually, but there is also a companion app that can call and move the horses for you. It's a blast and the payouts work great with chips.

Good afternoon and Happy Thanksgiving PCF’ers.
Tried something a little different last night at GFC.
We run the Horse Race Game before each session and often do two races. We play what we call “Quarter Horses”, all scratched horses are a quarter to the pot.
Recently we’ve had a much fuller table despite horses running “at 1900 for those seated and cards to follow” to incentivize early arrivals. Well, it works. As such, players get fewer cards on the deal and have less entries after the scratches.
Last night at Session 134 we did something possibly unheard of (I haven’t searched the thread). Also, keep in mind, I play $25’s as frac’s, mix molds, and even mix ceramics and clay. So do not be shocked if this is rogue.
Last night we shuffled two horse decks together as we dealt in 9 players. Obviously, all players had more cards lowering the likelihood that after scratches a player would only have one or two entrants.
We also assigned a .50 payin for the last two horses scratched and upped the jockey fee to .50/player.
Long story short, we felt it was a success. All 9 players had at least 5-7 cards (some paired) at the start of the race.
With the amped up jockey fee, the move in the direction of more common scratch fees and extra cards, the races were as exciting as they’ve ever been and all players had multiple reasons to jump up and down and holler.
The switch from what we’ve been doing carried over to the session. Right after the second race we opened the bank drawer for purchase of additional plaques and the game was out of the muck, for the night, from the very first hand.
Go us!

Extra cards sounds like a winner

I debated and almost did a dry run through prior but didn’t have time.
It seemed to solve what we saw as an issue.
