Summary:

Players bet drinks on which suit (horse) they think will win.

Set Up

One player is chosen as the announcer. He then searches the deck for all 4 aces and places them in a vertical line. These represent the starting gates for the horses. Then place 7 cards face down in a horizontal line over top of the aces. These are used simply to judge distance until the horses reach the finish line.

Rules:

Now each player bets on which suit(horse) he thinks will get 7 cards first. Once all bets are in the announcer starts the race by drawing the first card from the top of the deck. The card is then placed next to the Ace of the matching suit, advancing the horse. This continues until 1 suit has 7 cards and that one is considered the winner. Whoever wins gets to give out drinks equal to their bet and each other player must drink whatever they bet.
