That's another thing that depends on where the race is held. Some places they pay the same for each divison, some don't. I don't have a clue how they divide the mone. I do know it depends on the amount of people running. 3D's they usually just add 1/2 second to the times of each division.

Oh - well I suppose it would frost you a little to win less than a slower horse who got first in the next division down.... but jeepers... it's all just for fun.

I suppose the fairest way would be to pay the best 10 or so times, depending on how many were entered, so the top half wins.... that's not too big a hurdle to get newbies into the money. Better than the top three taking home everything.

We're going out too in a bit. Gonna meet my friend Sonya for a drink at the pub.

True Quest (yearling) took a first (only two in his class; Friday took a 2nd in aged mares halter (12 in class) and a 2nd in color (22 in the class). Prez only placed 6th in aged geldings and didn't place in color. I'll post some pictures and more details following -

Sunrise out of my dirty windshield. I was driving my car so I could do a breakfast run - hense, driving 65mph, and taking a picture at the same time. Don't think I'll make a habit of that.

Quest and Friday waiting for the show to start. Right about this time, a loose horse came running through.

Prez waiting for the show to start. Shortly after this, Tracey took Quest up to walk him in the arena so he could see what everything was. He's never been off the ranch except to be gelded. Then Bob walked Friday up to the arena to show her around. She was a backyard horse her whole life and a nervous wreck today. Then people are yelling "loose horse" again and Friday comes trotting up to the trailer without Bob. She had broken the chain on her lead line and took off - needed her buddies around her I guess. :)
