What is Subbuteo Horse Racing

Subbuteo Horse Racing (also simply called "Horse Racing") was the third in the family of Subbuteo racing games, which also included "Table Speedway", "Table Motor Racing", and "Cycle Speedway."

This was a dexterity game. All games in the series used a very similar mechanic: a ball bearing was dropped down a tube and used to propel a playing piece around a racing track. This particular game simulated horse racing, and the pieces were horses and jockeys mounted on Subbuteo style bases. This used the same basic rules as other games in the series, with some variations to account for the sport being represented.

The variations were as follows:

"The race track may be regulation size, or possibly you may care to improvise its shape, but movement areas should not exceed 8" in length. This measurement should be taken on the inside of the track."
