2Orme, Sceptre, Ladas, Jeddah and Hermit appear to be famous horses from the end of the 19th Century.– Tom77Mar 15, 2015 at 21:00

Yep it's an old board game we found while going through old boxes of my grandad.– Michele La FerlaMar 15, 2015 at 21:21

4Is it bad that most things I search for take me right back here, including links to your pic?– BecuzzMar 24, 2015 at 21:48

3For what it's worth, I skimmed through boardgamegeek's listings for things tagged animals or racing, or with betting mechanics, from before 1930, and didn't find anything promising. There are plenty without pictures or obvious names, though, so could be I missed something. (Also, wow, there are a lot of old steeplechase games!)– CascabelMar 24, 2015 at 22:35

I think this looks like a version of Minoru. Seems like a very old 19th century board. It would very difficult to actually identify it.

Based on the images at boardgamegeek it looks like Minoru is also a horse racing game but it's not the same.– CascabelMar 24, 2015 at 19:56

5I wasn't the down-voter, but I assume the reason for the down-vote is because this answer should have been posted as a comment on the question rather than as a full answer, particularly because it is speculation.– ClumsyApr 15, 2015 at 18:42

It's close enough to Minoru that it could just be a different publisher's take on the same game. Jul 24, 2017 at 13:18
