How the Derby Works
- Six children line up on the starting line — each child represents a horse.
- Every guest stakes $1 on a single racer. All the dollars together form the purse.
- Roll two dice. Each die (1–6) moves that racer forward one furlong.
- The first racer to cross the finish line wins the Derby.
- The purse is split evenly among everyone who backed the winning racer.
A furlong is any length you like — mark them on the ground with tape, cones, or chalk. Set as many furlongs to the finish as you want; the more you add, the longer the race, so size it to the time you'd like to fill.
