Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Derby ‘N’ Dance Party Custom Video Horse Racing will take your event to a whole new level!

    We will have you provide the names of people that you know will be in attendance at your event and those will become horse (stable) owners. For example: for a company event, these could be corporate officers, managers, department heads, staff, VIP guests, etc. For a fundraiser event, horse (stable) owners can be companies and/or individuals who sponsor horses.

    You can also name the horses!

    Our announcer creates CUSTOM voice overs for the beautiful digital races using the names provided. We also produce a custom race program featuring the horses, horse (stable) owner’s, and your logo or a picture.

    Guests will take their race program to one of the Wagering Windows to write their name and select one horse per race. If their horse wins, they receive a prize drawing ticket. The more winners a player picks, the more tickets they will have for the prize drawing. This is only one of many ways we have that you can choose to reward race winners.

    An interactive DJ/Emcee with state-of-the-art sound and lighting provides dance music between the races which heightens the excitement even more!

    Attendees clutch their race programs and scream and shout while watching the custom video horse race, cheering for their favorite horse to win! This creates awesome energy and excitement and unforgettable entertainment for your guests!

  • Each race features your attendees on the race program, and announced in the videos! This is fun-filled, interactive entertainment for all ages and EVERYONE PLAYS AT THE SAME TIME!

    3. Thirty names of people that you know will be at the event that you would like to serve as “horse (stable) owners”.

    4. If you are not custom naming the horses, go to our Horse Names Menu and choose one group of names per race. Be sure to note the “Code” from each group you choose.

    5. If you would like to name the horses yourself, you will need thirty more names that you would like to serve as horse names.

    Your DJ/party planner will ask you for this information when you order.

    Please keep all names to a maximum of 22 total letters, spaces and characters.

    We also produce a custom race program template, and we can put a company logo, photograph, etc. on the front of the race program if you wish.

  • As guests enter, they will each receive a custom race program.

    Our affiliate DJ/MC will announce the event and explain the process to the guests.

    The guests then take their race program to one of the wagering windows and select one horse in each race that they think will win.

    Our affiliate DJ/MC then runs the race and your guests scream and shout for their favorite horse!

    If their horse wins, guests simply go back to the window and receive a prize drawing ticket.

    The simplicity enhances the excitement and high energy of the event!
