Name of a 1990s VHS video player movie with time travel?

I am trying to find the name of a movie I saw back in the 90s. I think it was a TV movie. I don't think it was a very good movie either but it has been bugging me that I can't remember the name of it..

It was about a kid (boy) who somehow obtains a VHS player. I remember a scene at an outdoors market, he may have gotten it there. This video player can magically travel through time when he presses the "rewind" or "fast forward" button on it. One of the things he uses it for is so that his father can place some bets on the horses (I specifically remember this scene). They were watching horse racing on the TV in the living room in one scene.

That is about all that I can remember about the movie. It is about a VHS video player (not a remote control), so it is not "Click" (Adam Sandler) or any TV episodes such as "Goosebumps" or "Round The Twist".

Update:

Not Bill and Ted either.

This may have been a British movie? but can't remember if it actually was or not.

Update 2:

I think the boy was keeping it a secret from his family. His father was surprised that he was so good at picking the winning horses.
