TURN SEQUENCE 1. Take all actions, which apply, according to the “Horse features” on the horses a player owns. 2. Roll both dice and move the corresponding horse. 3. Take an action (1 of 4 as shown below). 4. Draw a card. 5. Pass the dice to the next player (clockwise). A player may do 1 (and only 1 per turn) of the following 4 actions: Play 1 “Long Shot" card, and take the action written on the card. Buy an unowned horse from the bank for the amount shown at the top right corner of the horse card. # Place a $5 bet on any horse that is NOT in the “No bets” area. Players may ONLY bet $5 per turn. # Discard 2 cards (do not perform text action) for $5 from the bank. Only 2 cards may be discarded in this way per turn.TURN SEQUENCE DEFINED 1. Horse Features A player begins his turn by taking advantage of all horse features that may apply on the horses HE OWNS. 2. Dice Roll The player then advances the horse that is shown on the horse die, the number of spaces shown on the move die. A horse rolled on the horse die advances, regardless of who owns it. If a horse rolled on the horse die during this part of the turn has finished the race, the die must be rerolled until a horse that hasn’t finished is rolled. Example: Michelle rolls a “7" on the horse die and a “3" on the move die. She then advances horse #7 three spaces on the track, regardless of whether she owns that horse or not. In addition, the player whose turn it is may also move ALL HORSES HE OWNS that have the horse number just rolled in each of his horse's “Movement bar,” the number of spaces shown on the move die. The “Movement bar” is located at the bottom of each of the horse cards. Players may advance horses they own in this way ON THEIR TURN ONLY. Example: Gary rolls a “6" on the horse die and a “1” on the move die. He advances horse #6 (Six Gun) one space on the racetrack. He owns “Last Chance (2)" and “Sure Lee (5)." “Sure Lee" has a “6" in its Movement bar. Gary may also advance “Sure Lee" one space (the number shown on the move die). Players may advance more than one horse they own in this way, provided each horse has the number just rolled in its movement bar. If a “0” is rolled on the move die (during a player's initial die roll only), the horse rolled on the horse die does not advance. Instead, the player who just rolled the dice may steal a card at random from the owner of the horse just rolled on the horse die if they have at least 1 card. If the horse just rolled on the horse die is unowned (owned by the bank), the player whose turn it is may draw a card from the draw pile. No horses advance when a “0” is rolled on the move die. Horses containing the number in the Movement Bar just rolled on the horse die, also do not get to advance as a result of the “0” being rolled. 3. Take an action a) Play a “Long Shot” card “Long Shot” cards are played to perform the effect listed in their text. Any cards which allow bets to be made on horses, regardless of where they are on the race track, may still be played, provided the horse in question has NOT FINISHED the race. b) Buy an unowned Horse When buying an unowned horse from the bank, you must pay the full amount shown on the top right corner of the horse card. Horse Card prices correspond to the amount of movement numbers contained in their “movement bar.” The more movement bar numbers, the higher the horse price. c) Bet on a Horse When placing a $5 bet on a horse, place $5 in front of you and place a “horse chip” on top of the bet that corresponds with the horse you wish to place a bet on. 5 ‘The player bets on horse #10, that he does not own. 5 You MAY bet on your own horse in the same way. Instead of using a horse chip, simply place the bet UNDER the horse you own in which you'd like to place a bet. The player bets on his horse #5, You MAY NOT bet more than $5 per turn. Bets MAY accumulate on horses. Once a horse is IN the “No bets” area, players may NOT place $5 bets on that particular horse. Players may still bet on other horses as usual. Additionally, if a horse is in the “No bets” area but is later forced back outside of it, players may place additional bets on it 4, Draw a card If all of the cards in the draw pile have been drawn before the game ends, players skip the draw phase of their turn, and no more cards may be drawn. A player may choose to pass on their turn, and choose no action. 5
