We need 8,000 total, I'll throw 4,000 if you can match it, that would be great.

There are 7 spots left open now. Once we get all of the entries, I'll be ready to generate the groupings.

I have two different ways we could go about this.

Option 1: two completely separate groupings, you race the same 12 horses in each race.

Option 2: one large group split randomly into 2 races for each week they run. Week 1 you could face Horse X, Week 3 Horse Y, Week 5 Horse X and Y could happen.

If you're entered, I'd like to hear if you have a preference. I'll go with majority vote and I'll only vote if there is a tie.

Here are the Current Entries:

Dartmouth Shark - Garret Folsom
The Author - Garret Folsom
Pants on Please - Johanna Stk
Ett Ess - Johanna Stk
Freaking Blue Hen - Ali Hedgestone
Bonded Serf - Ali Hedgestone

I think a random grouping would be fine.

This may have been asked already, but where is the first race going to be?

Oh and Horse 1453356461 is now Bonded Serf

Updated through here.

Ali, I had to update the schedule on page 1 to show the locations as well as race type. I had to make minor changes to the order of the races, but I think we should be all set now. We are starting in California, we'll move to Canada and come back to California.

The longest ship you should have to make is 5.4 hours.

Lori Hamill is not competing, but is offering up Gotta Break Away to somebody that is interested, but might not have a DC horse to race. We are at 21 entries right now, enough for 3 more.
