Regular Posts: 98 Location: Kentucky	Its a big covered arena with good sandy dirt. L shaped alley from the left. The times I have been there they have run a standard pattern but I know that other times they run a smaller pattern (15s maybe). The stalls are nice with big overhead fans to keep it cool in the summer! I reallly like going there and would go there a lot more if it was closer to me!

Regular Posts: 98 Location: Kentucky	Now that I'm thinking about it it may have a straight alley. When I used to go there for HS rodeo/AJRA they may have just set up the alley like that with panels... maybe someone else can help with that? Regardless its a nice pen and I like going out there! Lots of parking too! Edited by ohkissmydash 2015-02-19 1:49 PM

Elite Veteran Posts: 1037	For the big barrel races like this one they should have alley set up with a holding pen and run it on a smaller pattern. 15.495 won the Open last year. Small covered warm up pen behind the alley. Does get a little crowded with horses tied. Also have a pretty nice outdoor pen to warm up in. Its a great event!

Elite Veteran Posts: 733	Ok thank you. I was little worried because it didn't seem like they had very many pre entries. But maybe it's just a bad weekend or something.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1074	They always have a ton of on-site entries. Most other local races won't book over this one.
