    I'm old enough to remember going on this ride in the 70's.There was no organ or music then and those blocks of wood where the pole of the horse goes though used to be open slits and the horses actually travelled backwards and forwards the length of the slits racing each other in the rows they were not static as they are now.There was a noise of thundering hooves not music.The mechanism that moved them backwards and forwards was discontinued it was too difficult to maintain i think.They were really fast then too.

      I used to ride on this when it was fully functioning.
      It's an amazimg experience, and it needs to be restored to operation.
      The organ is totally out of place. It would be better suited to a set of gallopers.

      We have one at cedat point. Called Cedar Downs. Still operates with the horses racing back and forth. Very fast spin with horses slowly moving forward then back. Loser buys next round and winner picks next ride. It was originally at a park in Ohio called Euclid Beach. It closed and most other of its rides were destroyed. It plays a horse track theme with crowds cheering, horse galloping, and a race caller. It's enclosed in a similar building, but the sides are fully open. The center is an open roof with grass on the ground, and the horses are covered. Similar to a horse track.

    Underrated flat ride, it's quite intense when it picks up speed and especially when you've just come off Valhalla with a wet arse and you're holding on for dear life whilst I'm slowly sliding off my seat. 😅

    I'm in my 40s now, but this ride i went on it just before 1st lockdown and i loved it still today, so many of my childhood memories are from this ride that its still in my top 3 just because of the memories of PB when i was a kid. i took my partner on it who's never been to blackpool before, he thought it was just a silly old boring ride till it got to its speed then he said he can see why i loved this ride. I can't wait to go back this year.

    Went to Blackpool this Summer and while normally being more into rollercoasters and thrillrides, I have a soft spot for nostalgic attractions. I really enjoyed Derby Racers, it was faster than expected and with the organ playing and the beautiful decorations, it was a great experience 😊

    I know it’s silly but this is my favourite ride in Blackpool (well maybe Alice and wonderland) purely because they’re the first rides I always went on when I came over from Northern Ireland when I was younger. Pure nostalgia 🥲

    I took my kids on this in the eighties and I was amazed at how fast it was! I let my four year old daughter go on the horse on her own and was panicking throughout the ride in case she didn't hold on tight enough...she absolutely loved it!
