The Whip

A rather larger board game where players back lead token horses with evenly distributed game counters. One player acts as a banker. Horses are placed at the start of the track and move one square at a time if their particular number is rolled by a dice. The winner is the first to finish the race and the banker pays out on that horse. A player can also back a red or blue finish on the respective colour lanes. The horse names represent English and Irish thoroughbred racehorses from the turn of the 20th Century. The horses were famous at the time for winning the prestigious races on the English calendar.
