Buy a horse (£10) - you get to name your horse and 'you' are the rider. Winners Prizes will be given to successful jockeys!
Bet on a horse or horses - each race has a bookmakers who will take bets. The odds are based on how many people gambled on each horse. If your horse wins, then so do you!
The Finale
