Horse Fever
Players impersonate wealthy bettors in a 1930s noir racing scene and use bribery, sabotage and financial tricks to ensure their wagers pay off. Gameplay centers on placing bets, manipulating race outcomes by buying stables, fixing races, and covertly influencing horses and bookmakers, while managing money and debts. Three modes adjust complexity: a full strategy version for experienced players, a streamlined family variant, and a party mode that supports larger groups and simpler interactions.

Garfield2.0 One of the best race bidding game I've played so far. With the right people it could be very funny. Unfortunately the cards abilities are not easy and you often have to read in the rules what they do.

Auction/Bidding Racing Game. It's not my kind of game at all, but it has funny things. Highly recommended to play the expert version of the game, it's really much better!
