A Night At The Races

Address: 3043 Jupiter Park Circle
City: Jupiter
State: FL
Zip: 33458-6012

Description: Re-create the atmosphere of being at the racetrack. Rental includes horse races on video or 16mm motion picture films, official racetrack programs, wagering tickets, daily doubles, play money & more. Your guests wager "funny money" on the races and receive a "drawing ticket" or additional "funny money" if they win a race. At the end of your event, a drawing or an auction is held for prizes.

Volunteers from your organization solicit prize donations from local merchants. You offer food and refreshments and make a profit on the "donation fee" charged to attend your event. Additional revenue can be accomplished by printing your own Race Programs and selling advertising space. Another interesting idea is to "Sponsor-A-Horse" for prize drawings.

You have a choice of selecting Thoroughbred Racing, Harness Racing or Greyhound Racing in the desired racing format. These "Racing Kits" contain enough supplies for an audience of 200 people to play the basic six (6) races within each Standard Basic Kit.

Within each "Racing Kit" are 200 Official Race Programs, 2 Sets of Mutuel Wagering Tickets - (50 Tickets per Horse), 200 Daily Double Tickets, 1500 Play Money Bills, Computation (Control) Sheets, a Division Chart, a Toteboard Poster used for posting the results and payoffs, a Pocket Guide for use by your Master of Ceremonies and a complete Instructional Booklet for running our event.

Product Lines: Armchair Horse Races

Terms: Prepay - Cost is $210 for a six race package.
