Location: kellyville ok | Yes, definitely pack more than you think you need. My husband teases me because I do NOT travel light, but I don't get caught flat footed either. Have you draw numbers figured out for approximate running times forwards AND backwards (for barn 6) and you won't be stressing about when you run. Look at the stall chart so you know where your stall is before you get there, they will help you unload but you're not supposed to park in the loading/unloading zone for long. We unload everything and then my husband will work on bedding the stalls while I go drop the trailer and park the truck in the parking lot. Have your paperwork ready, coggins and health papers so youre not fishing for them when you check in your horse. Be prepared ahead of time so you can enjoy it!!! It's a blast and there is a lot of money and awards up for grabs. I've been every year except for the first year (I was hurt) and love it!!! It is definitely an experience. |

Location: Texas | Okay.. My question- How do we know what draw run in which race and in what order? They put it on the schedule last year but this year and can't find it anywhere so maybe im just blind but I need to know lol. Im 446 and THINK that means I'll run late afternoon thursday in the colesium and early saturday morning in barn 6?
eta: Also am I reading this correctly the slot race and futurity are in barn 8 this year? not the colesium??

Location: kellyville ok | It is on the bottom of the draw pages. I already put my paper in the truck that was mailed to me. I know the Coliseum runs in sequential order, Barn 6 runs backwards, but not in order. I'm 1089 and I will run Barn 6 first on Friday and run early Saturday morning. |

Location: kellyville ok | Yes, the futurity and slot race are in barn 8. The first 30 entries are the slot horses and then 31 - ??? are futurity horses. The consolation race is Saturday followed by the top 30 finalists for the futurity. I wish they would post the draw. I have a horse in the futurity (my first! EEK!!) and I would like to know the draw. I"m sure they'll get it up as soon as they can. |
