| DESCRIPTION
THEY'RE AT THE POST ... As the crowd tenses with anticipation one can only wonder what's going on in the minds of these seven men and their mounts, these 'equines for the ages' who will soon settle that long asked question 'Who's the greatest of all time'? And ... THEY'RE OFF!
Man O'War, Synsoby, Citation, War Admiral - the most memorable mounts of the past hundred years are brought together on one ractrack to determine who's the greatest racehorse of all time. When these equines of the ages line up a the post, every racing fan will cheer on their favorites, pushing the jockeys and their mounts to achieve greater glory than they've ever know before.
In Winner's Circle you are right in the middle of a classic day of racing. Which horse is the favorite? Does the long-shot have a real chance? How high are the betting ratios? Which bet promises the highest profit? Once the field is announced you must place your bets. You then take turns rolling the special die and moving the horse of your choice. Will you advance the horse you are backing or impede those horses backed by the other players?
While having multiple players back the same horse improves its odds of winning it also lowers the payouts, and there are still no guarantees of victory. At the end of the running the best bets payoff. After 3 races the player with the most winnings is triumphant.
And what glory will fall to racing fans? Knowledge that they backed a winner - not to mention a rich payout.
