This guide covers the repeatable activity accessible from [[A stroke of luck! (3 FATE)]] on [[A day at the races]]. This content is {{FontFate}}-locked, so per this Wiki's [[Fallen London Wiki:Content Policy|Content Policy]], the covered content will not otherwise be included on the Wiki, and the guide may contain mechanical descriptions but not narrative content.

==Overview==

This action brings you to a new location. The activities here are repeatable as long as you do not leave the area it brings. There are unique cards, repeatable storylets, and a carousel.  

===The Cards===

This location has a unique Opportunity Deck. It is pulls from your same draw pool, and uses the same hand size you normally have. All cards are discardable. If you have a 5 card hand size, you will draw one of every card.

==The Carousel==
You will start with {{IL|Time Remaining...|6 x}} and each action you take will decrement it by 1 or 2. Your goal over the course of this carousel is to increase your {{IL|In the Lead}} as much as you can and then at {{IL|Time Remaining...|7 x}} there will be one final challenge based on {{IL|In the Lead}} to determine the payout. There are 2 different tracks depending on whether you currently have any {{IL|In the Lead}}, and when you do not have any, you will have opportunities to acquire {{IL|Burst of Speed!}}s which can be spent to gain {{IL|In the Lead}}.

On each level of {{IL|Time Remaining...}}, there is an option to leave the carousel and return to the main lobby if you're not sure you'll win, or the option to leave the area altogether.

===Strategy===
The best route to complete this in the fewest number of action is to take the options that result in a loss of 2 {{IL|Time Remaining...}}. This will make the carousel take 6 actions and get you the max rewards 80% of the time. This is an average of 2.03 making waves per action. Otherwise, losing provides 1 of each of the second chances for a similar number of actions. EPA wise this is pretty terrible at 0.776 EPA.
