When in the UK a number of working mens clubs used to hire films of horse racing for a fun night, members could buy a horse at the beginning of each race and others could bet on them (not allowed here I know) in addition a small premium could be added to drinks and the money raised went to good causes. It was a good fun night and I was wondering if there was anywhere in LOS that one could hire these films/videos?

Yes, I remember the old 'canned videos' of horse racing: you won't find them now though.

Now there are state-of-the-art DVD computer programmes that generate random winners at virtual race tracks, whose fictional names include:

Portman Park, Steepledowns, and even a dog track called Brushwood.

So; the way to go, would be to contact any of the big three bookmakers in the U.K. Ladbrokes, William Hill and Coral and ask them how to get your hands on the hardware and software.

I understand that gambling is illegal in the L.O.S. but let me know when you are set up for a 'race night'. I will be on the front row...........
