Location: Oklahoma | CheckItOut - 2014-08-15 2:10 PM It is certainly interesting to hear everyone's opinions. However, let me just be clear that I was purely asking if there are rules against this or not, because I do not know, but it seems like there would be, and in turn would make it "cheating"... and if there are rules(which it seems like maybe there are some places, and maybe there are not at others) are they really ever enforced? Or is it "no big deal". Thanks again for the useful responses to my question. This was a post about RULES AT BARREL RACES... and I think it was a relevant question. Of course I am more concerned about my run and my horses, but I did have a question on the RULES and this seemed like a good place to ask, but maybe I was wrong on that part! Yikes.
Although that is not how I viewed the OP, it is a valid question. No one is jumping on you. There is no reason to get upset or hurt over it.
ON the internet no one can read how the question would come from your mouth, so you ahve to read between the lines and interrput. You were given reasons and our thoughts..  | |

welcome to the internet darling :) everyone has an opinion!
Chin up, it is a legit question and a fairly interesting one in my opinion to see what everyone said. It's Friday and you have a fabulous weekend stretched in front of ya! Please don't let the opinions of some ruin your day. There will always be people on here that are crabby and post negative things. | |

Yep, I get it. Some posts were a little cray cray in my opinion, though, so I just wanted to make my point a little more clear. 
...and I just figured out how to get to more than just the 9 emoji deals that show up on my screen, so something useful came from this. LOL... jk, I found many posts to be very informative, and the rest to be rather interesting. | |

WARNING:
On the radio this morning I heard they added the word "cray" to the Oxford English Dictionary as an abbreviated word of crazy. It is in the dictionary now.
Carry on. | |

Nuh uh! What is up with them adding all these made up slang words? Most of them don't stay in use more than 2-3 years. | |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | When I was running NBHA years ago, if someone was running more then one horse, when entering they would pick what horse was running when, and had to run in that order that they enter their horses, if they ran them out of order for some reason then there was a problem. I cant remember what was done about it, but it was our Dist. rule at the time, I'm sure its all been changed by now.
I could care less on what horse was ran when, I just do my own thing and stay out of others business. | |

Three4Luck, the OED is a 'descriptive' dictionary, meaning its more focused on tracking the use of any word that has meaning at some point in the history of the English language, even if for only a short time. 'Prescriptive' dictionaries are usually more concerned with telling us how we should use things and do not have slang. However, because of the OED's approach in 100 years if someone were to look at the this discussion they would be able to still look up the meaning of that word and know what it meant (if context didn't tell them). Darn useful if you think ahead. | |
