Abstract
This invention is about a wood structural tabletop horse racing game. The running of the horses on a board is caused by the back-and-forth shaking movement of the board. The shaking of the board is powered by the turning of a steel nut against an angle plate which pushes the board forward. And the strength of a rubber band in the rear pulls the board back.
