The next player to the left rolls the dice to choose the next horse to be placed in slot number 2 of the scratch lot.They will also put chips into the pot for every card held that belongs to the same number of the scratched horse. All other players will lay aside any cards matching the number of the scratched horse (For example, if the scratched horse’s number is eight, the players will lay aside all #8 cards). The player moves the chosen horse to slot number 1 in the scratch lot.The total sum of both dice will be equivalent to the number of the horse that will be scratched (For example, rolling a #2 and #6 will result in horse number eight’s elimination). To scratch horses, have the player to the left of the dealer roll the dice. Four horses must be eliminated, or “scratched”, before the game starts.(Players may not necessarily receive the same number of cards). Choose a dealer to shuffle and deal out all cards.
