Paceway: The Harness Racing Game

In this game each player controls a horse and sulky in a harness race. The players control the horse by playing cards from their hands; the strength of their hand determining their handicap. Players must pay an entry fee for (bet on) their own horse but may also bet on other horses. The winner is the first horse over the line.

From the box:

"Allows you to plan your strategy...'back' your judgment...and control the speed of your own horse in a closely run race of tactics and skill that offers you all the excitement of real racing - whatever the season"
