Once you have decided which product below you would like to order, you will need to gather and/or choose the following items:

1. What you want to name the ______ Downs. (e.g “Company Downs”, “Smith Reunion Downs” etc.)

2. Five names you would like to serve as the names of each race. (e.g. “Department Run”, “Group Sprint”, “City Stakes”, “Fundraiser Derby” etc.)

3. Thirty names of people that you know will be at the event that you would like to serve as “horse (stable) owners”

4. If you are not custom naming the horses, go to our Horse Names Menu and choose one group of names per race. Be sure to note the “Code” from each group you choose.

5. If you would like to name the horses yourself , you will need to choose thirty more names that you would like to serve as horse names.

You will need all of these items before ordering from us.

Please keep all names to a maximum of 22 total letters, spaces and characters.

We also produce a custom race program template, and we can put a company logo, photograph, etc. on the front of the race program if you wish.

Absolutely not! In addition to the excitement and high energy, the simplicity greatly adds to the appeal for you, the presenter, and the attendees. There is no need for you to use horse racing terminology or verbiage. All of that is in the video.

It is important to keep in mind that the only things you really need to get started are a large screen TV or screen/projector or laptop (with PowerPoint installed if you prefer PowerPoint to an mp4 format).

If you choose to add a colorful backdrop, which holds the large screen TV, attractive wagering windows, odds board, fencing, hay bales, etc., these all add to the festive atmosphere. Most importantly, from the attendees' prospective it adds perceived value.

THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO!

THE FIRST WAY: The easiest way is to have the guests go to one of the wagering windows and select one horse in each race that they think will win. If their horse wins, they simply go back to the window and receive a prize drawing ticket. The simplicity enhances the excitement and high energy of the event! We strongly recommend that you use this system until you have a few events under your belt and really feel comfortable using the videos. You will quickly learn that putting on a “Derby 'N' Dance” party is as much fun for you as it is for the attendees!

THE SECOND WAY: We can provide you with play money (Horse Bucks), an odds board (with your or your company's name on it) and odds calculation sheets. The odds are calculated based on a pari-mutuel, meaning that the return each horse pays is determined by the total amount bet on that horse.

“Horse (stable) owners” could be, for example:

• Corporate officers, managers, department heads, staff, etc.

• If the event is for a club the “horse (stable) owners” could be members of the board, club members, staff, etc.

• If the event is for a birthday party, reunion, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the “horse (stable) owners” could be attendees and your client can really have fun naming the horses.

• If it is a fundraiser, horses can be named by companies and/or individuals who sponsored a horse.
