- I have this game at my house right now. It is called AT THE POSTS. The
- game is made up of a few 12" records with about 6 different outcomes per race
- (ie different horses win). I was really excited about it as a kid, but haven't
- touched it since. I was *really* surprised to see it mentioned *anywhere*.
- Oh, well, I'll put it back on the shelf in my mind to gather dust once again.
