Location: the end of the rainbow | I believe it is an outdoor venue. There are 2 separate races and entries are $1000 each. Entries are capped at 400. Entries include a room and stall for 5 days. Each race has 2 separate goes and a showdown. The top 15 in each division each day make it back to the showdown. If someone qualifies twice for the showdown their slot goes to the next in line. The way I read it that means they are guaranteeing 150 runners come back for the showdown. Guaranteed payout for the showdown round is 10k for first in each division. Ill try to post the rules later but I gotta get ready for work right now. |

| Each entry/contestant will be entitled to participate in each of the two qualifying rounds. The two
qualifying rounds will be 5D format: ½ second splits. Fifteen (15) different entries from each of the five
(5) divisions of the two (2) qualifying rounds will qualify for the Showdown round. A contestant can
qualify on unlimited horses for the Showdown round. Each horse/rider combination may qualify for only
one Showdown position.
To qualify for the Showdown round, a horse/rider combination must be in the top 15 fastest times in
each D in either the first or second qualifying rounds. The top 15 fastest times in each D in the second
qualifying round will be eligible for the Showdown round, unless one of the horse/rider combinations in
the top 15 were already qualified from the first round. We will move the next fastest horse/rider
combinations up to fill the top 15.
It is your prerogative to make one run. Each contestant is responsible for acquiring Showdown round
qualification status. The All In Barrel Race is not liable to inform you of your Showdown qualification.
Showdown positions will be posted onsite, Facebook, website, and cell phone numbers listed to call in.
The Showdown rounds will be run as a clean slate. It will be a 5D format consisting of the top 30 runners from each D in the qualifying rounds, collectively. The Showdown round will be run in qualifying time order, from slowest to the fastest qualifying time |

That was my big question. Isn't there an American qualifier with this race also? |

| Hi, I can't do math. 
Can someone explain how this equals guaranteed $250k payout?
5 places in a 5D over 2 days does not add up. But maybe I am doing this wrong. 
Qualifying Rounds will pay 5 places in each D.
1 - $1,250
2 - $1,000
3 – $750
4 - $500
5 - $275
The Showdown round will pay 5 places in each D.
1 - $10,000
2 - $3,000
3 - $2,000
4 - $1,500
5 - $1,125 |

I'm no math wizard either ... but there are 2 races with this payout over 2 weekends. That total roughly adds up to $250k payout.
Each division pays out $3775 total per division x 5 divisions = $18,875 per day x 2 qualifying runs = $37,750
The showdown pays out $17,635 per division x 5 divisions = $88,125
Race total payout: $88,125 + $37,750 = $125,875
There are two races with this payout over the two weekends: $125,875 x 2 = $251,750 total payout.
I'm sure my math is off somewhere, but that how I calculated it.

The gambler in me desperately wants to enter. The adult in me who pays the bills says probably not. |

| I am considering entering. I just have to think on it for a little while before I make a decision. Either way, I hope it creates an opportunity for barrel racing payouts to mirror that of the World Series of Team Roping. |

I live in Las Vegas and do not need or want a hotel room. It annoys me that they think everyone wants one and we have to pay for it.

Location: Idaho | Just reading over this throws a lot of red flags over the race. I no longer live in Vegas, but I did for a very long time. I would love to know where they are going to place these 400 horses downtown. I don't like the fact that there is limited contact information, it's just questionable. |

And rooms at that hotel are not that expensive and I would rather share a room and split the cost. Nor do I want my horse outside in Vegas in December where the weather can be unpredictable
They are charging 150 to park your trailer I could cut 500 off that fee and split that 150 if I ride with someone.. I don't need a jacket jeans or 100$ open arena fee
I don't remember the last time I was charged 300+ for a stall

All if this. Not only are they only offering the package deal but I'm guessing most of those items in the package are comped by sponsors. Entry fee is 1000 per race capped at 400 runners. That's $400,000 per race. Payout for each race is approximately $130,000. Maybe more but not promises. That's less than a 40% payback. The package deal.is just not worth it for me. If I could discount the room and the stall I might enter.
The producer is doing a good job answering questions on their Facebook page. I wish them success with these races. |

I have not actually been to this particular facility yet but considering that they say the stalls are across the street from the arena I hope they will have good security since the entire place is walking distance (2 blocks) from the Fremont Street Experience & all the wonderful characters that make up down town Vegas.

but... the Plaza, downtown?
I wouldn't need a room, or any of the extra $tuff either..

Yikes! That would sure make my mind up if I had been considering it. I would imagine they are putting up temporary tent stalls. |

Location: My Own Little World | Although this is a great opportunity to win a lot of money, I too have the same issues as many of you. I live here and don't need a room. AND if I did want the room (like a staycation) I certainly wouldn't want to stay at the Plaza. (bad part of town and not really that nice of a casino) The venue is not really in a place I'd keep my horse either.
Now I'm not going to discount that this may be a VERY good race and I may be be sorry I didn't enter; although, I believe I'll just be a spectator this first year :) |
