cheers greg, 8 horses on the classic one

Was there a game that needed somebody to turn a handle? The handle turning made the "track" shake which , in turn , made the nags move. Totopoly?

Escalado.

Dunlaying - I think that was Escalado.  Totopoly was a Waddingtons board game using dice. The horses were named after winners of the Lincoln Handicap.  Dorigo was one, I'd have to look up the others.

Sparrow - Short head

black warrior

wembley by waddingtons was the best sporting board game ever,my mate nearly 60 used to still play with his son up untill a few years back

No - Dark Warrior!!  plus Dorigon (not Dorigo), Knight Error, Jerome Fandango. plus two or four? more.

Anyone remember an old compurised arcade game, the cartoon horses would be on a screen above you and there were 3 places to bet, think it was called steeplechase, some of the horse names were ancient lights, grey god, hindenberg, helmsnan, demdyke, black leg, windy gorge....anyone remember it??

Dark Warrior,Flamenco,Dorigen,Marmalade Jinks,Leonidas II,Overcoat Jerome Flanders,King of Clubs,Elton. I've forgotten the yellow ones

i still have an original escalado
buta couple of the horses are a bit broken(0ne needs  pin firing lol)

worst attempts at recreating sports games
subutteo cricket,and rugby
4 to 4 football expensive at the time and garbage
that football game with figures on springs
football game with magnets under the table

The Dealer

The one you are thinking about was a huge big dome with 6 runners. Can`t see it in that link from Greg.

The jockeys were, Charlie Smirke, Harry Wragg, Scobie Breasley, Lester Piggott, Doug Smith and Gordon Richards??

thats the one TMM, 2p play the red and blue were evens

white was the outsider was it 10,s or 20,s,always came in when no one was playing and the  game was ongoing, , white used to stop like fran ferris was riding when you were on,

Dealer,I`ve been looking for one for years to buy. Can`t find one anywhere. Must be worth a small fortune if there is one about. Was it not an old penny per play? I think Scobie was the outsider at 10/1??  Cheers

anyone been to them racenights when they used to put a game of footie on at the end of the eveing about 10 mins of highlights and you had to bet on the final score,sat there with 3 v 2,4 v 2 either way with about a min left and it was 2 v 2,but always ened up 6 v 4 to someone,

TMM i thought it was 2p a play, the outsider was the white horse it may well have been him, not 100% sure though,

I played the one with white,red,green etc once at an arcade in about 1964. It was 2d a go and believe it or not I got a system going which was right about 70% of the time. I remember my DAD was amazed when I staggered back to the beach with a pile of 2ds.I had got into racing a year or two before and I don't remember the runners having jockeys so might have been a different make.

lol 1stTP

Great days Salmon. They first appeared in early 60s, hence the jockeys. Sure it was a penny a go Salmon as there was not a 2d coin in pre decimal days. You had me thinking there and thought I was losing the plot. Had to google the pre decimal coinage just in case. If there had been a 2d coin I would have been worried

was Play On yellow no.7 Totopely?

@ The Mighty Mac. You are of course right that there was no 2d coin. Me that is losing the plot probably but I think you might have had to put 2 1ds in.However here comes the nurse with my medication   

Yep Play On was 7.
I THINK Knight Errant was 9. Can't get 8 and not sad enough to look it up.

I played the dome race arcade game at Fleetwood pier in the early 60's. I distinctly remember it was a threepenny bit a play !

the dealer

thought it was 2p a play, the outsider was the white horse it may well have been him, not 100% sure though,

It was 2p in the 70's and for much longer , white was definatly the outsider and the overround of the odds for such a small field was a rip off , there was one in Bournemouth pier amusements just a few years ago might still be there .

they still have one of these great machines in an srcade at ocean pleasure beach in south shields ...the white hoss at ten to one wins once in November twice in December and thrice in January ....when there is no one about ..a bit like Newcastle a/w really

same principle as the roulette game out at the same time, in a big glass dome

they have one in the guiness village at chelt,1st had a go in blackpool pleasure beach about over 40 yrs ago,seen them with camels instead of horses

They have one in the amusement arcade on Skegness pier, it's called the Arabian Derby and it is with Camels, 50p a go or 3for a quid, dreadful but catchy tune if you're standing near it.
I remember a machine when I was a kid at the local fair that had Grand National winners on it, can't remember much else about it apart from it being circular.

Yeah duffy i remember , they used to have 1 in the pier arcade at skegness around the late 80s and another 1 of the horses called Citadel, i remember Ancient Lights was always fav and i put 10p on one of the rare times it was an outsider at 20/1 and it won . Happy Days

I remember the Arabian Derby at Skeggy well

Was wembley the Football game with the Tiddlywink as a ball ?

Rodrigo

Yep that's the one, your one sounds like the one we had, instead of it throwing out random results the horses always ran to form, Ancient Lights was the best horse, our machine used to freak out from time to time and price all 8 horses up at 20/1 and in amongst them was the "good one", you just had to hit the button before someone else.

I remember Citadel, more I can remember are Anglesey (never won) Svengali, herald angel, also if your horse made a little mistake at a fence it would immediately become one paced and fall at the next.

The horses were past Grand National winners.

About 15/20 years ago there was a video horse racing game with 2f races from the USA. The races often looked the same on a loop, there was one where the leader went off about 10 clear and still got caught (lasix must have run out!) , but the horses names would be different.

I can remember the commentary of 'ITS A DRIVING FINI**** A PHOTO FINISH......PLEEEEAASE HOLD ALLLLLLLLLL BETS!'

Clearly cannnot have a word beginning in SH followed by words beginning with IT.

wembley was a board game like monopoly that mirrored the fa cup with the best teams man utd etc given a top price and lower teams given a lower price,you then had draws and the results decided with different coloured dice,with the lower teams using dice with possible higher scores on,very much like totopoly as well

That would have been expensive?

Always was a high roller

Think I've finally found the one me and Lampus used to play back in the day

The machine on the left was the one

Donald Trump's manifest destiny?

Waddingtons Table soccer was the one I was going on about Sparrow , was brilliant




Up until a few years back They had the Horse racing machine in funfair Arcardes , with Comms including peter osullivan

red rum was one of the horses that u bet on bi=ut was different horses in the Comms , not seen one in years was 10 p a play

They had one of those horse racing games in Venetian in Vegas, few years ago 5 of us sat there for hours and hours playing, we made so much noise people were coming from all round the casino to watch us, I was winning every race and cheering like mad, one of my mates sitting around the other side was getting annoyed, then my mate sitting next to me told him I was backing all 6 horses every race

Escalado was the vibrating track.  Loved it.

Priory Park was the No 8 in Totopoly. At last after 9 years I can get some sleep       .
Incidentally they were all pre-war Lincoln winners.

despite all the attempts, magnets,springs,moulded plastic pitches with delves in them, cheese wedges [ 4 to 4 ],striker,   etc etc,THAT WADDINGTONS TABLEW FOOTBALLK was the closest you came to replicating a real game as a kid and cost about a quid [ 99p ]
