Disclaimer: This is a site for simulated racing, and none of the horses listed are real. These horses are either models or paper identities.
Any references to real horses in their pedigrees is strictly for information/entertainment purposes.

GENERAL RULES:

1. Cliff Notes summary required for all entries. Information required for cliff notes - Horse Name (Your Initials) Birth Year / Color / Sex / Highest Place (Sire X Dam, Dam’s Sire) Bred by: Name of Breeder, Location of Breeder. Cliff notes can be at the top of all your entries, or at the beginning of each entry.

Here is a sample Cliff Note:

Race 3. 4yo/Older Jumble, $25,000/$50,000

Carbon Copy (ABC) 2004 Bay Colt / wnr (Famous Stud X Bluehen Mare, Top Sire) Bred by Famous Farm, KY (turf, 7-9f)

2. Entry Limits: THREE horses per person per jumble race, and TWO entries per person per stakes race. Sometimes I may allow additional entries after the jumble races are broken up, and if so, this will be announced via the MTRA@yahoogroups.com email group.

3. Entries are due by 8am CST the day of the meet. NO EXCEPTIONS PLEASE. Please be sure to state in your subject line something like this: Entries for February Thoroughbred Meet from DGW (use your initials). Entries can be sent either inside the email or as an attached file. If you are sending an attached file, then all your entries need to be inside one file. Please do not send each horse's entry as separate files.

4. Age Limits: No first time starters over the age of 5, and no horses over 6 yrs that have not started in the last year. No first time starters may enter any stakes unless it specifically says FTS are OK. No horses over age 13 may be raced at FRR. (Retire them--they desire a break! J)

5. Jumble Races are created based on the horses’ race experience and surface/distance preferences. In your CLIFF NOTES, you must state the distance and surface (dirt or turf) that your horse prefers. I will do my best to group horses with similar abilities together to create the best races for them.

6. Race Steward: Daralyn Wallace. Email entries to RaunFalcon@aol.com.

7. Purses for all maiden, allowance, and non-ITR races will be awarded as first 50%, second 25%, third 14%, fourth 7%, and fifth 4%. Purses for ITR races will be the same as those for the real races.
