This sounds similar (but not quite) to Ready Set Bet [1], which is probably a lot easier to find than this.

This game, as the title suggests, is pure luck, based on the cards you were dealt.

In RSB, it’s real-time, and as dice are rolled to move horses forward, you can place bets on a number of spots, based on how the dice are being rolled (always by a designated player that is either part of the betting or not — recommended that they don’t bet if you have enough players).

Obviously still a lot of luck, as with most dice rolling games. But a decent amount of strategy in timing your bets, especially since bets freeze once horses get to a certain line in the game.
