If it becomes that profitable, more people will produce more barrel races. Robust competition for entries will keep the fees affordable. Basic capitalism.

Regular Posts: 65	I agree, a producer has to make some profit off of putting on shows or they will not be doing it for long but I have seen some that nickel & dime ya so much with all their fees you do good to even think about breaking even. I do this sport because I love it. I know I'm not the fastest out there but I still have fun doing it. I think a barrel race is a one run race & whatever happens is going to happen good or bad. If you are having issues, than go back home & do some more home work to try to make yourself or your horse better. I love the divisional barrel races because you don't have to be the fastest to have a chance to draw a check & it has definitely brought more people into the barrel racing industry. I just don't agree with the buy backs that if you knock or don't like your run you can pay x amount of money to run again & possibly win the barrel race while the person winning it gets bumped down. If it's a side pot that does not interfere with the actual open barrels than I have no problem with that.

Expert Posts: 1956 Location: Ky	Hell to the frickin NO!! It's wrong. You pay for one run and then you run one run. Someone said it's OK if they didn't get a time the first time. In that case there is no buy back. The person gets to run again for a time. They don't have to pay twice because of a timer error. I'm the same on carry overs. That should not be allowed. If someone doesn't want to run their horse that many times then pick the class they do want to run. Ground conditions change. The barrels may not be in the exact same place. And it's not fair to the riders that do ride. One race here or there may not seem like a problem but it sets a terrible precedent over time. Why not just quit penalizing for a downed barrel if the knockers can just buy back until they make a clean run? So, NO, NO, NO!! It's WRONG!
