Expert Posts: 1617 Location: Oklahoma	For a $400 entry fee, they'll let you "invite" yourself. Used to be a good race, but they sure aren't famous for good ground. Good race and pays well, just wish they could get the ground a little better. I agree with TurnLane, there was a couple girls I'd have bet my last dollar to be in the top 5 and they weren't. I've been 3 or 4 times and won a little, but I'm not going to throw down $400 for something that they take so little pride in making the ground decent...and anyone who knows me knows I'm the queen of winning money on bad ground! :-)

That's a good check! But if the ground is truly always that bad and you cripple an awesome horse while gambling on a $400 entry fee KNOWING the ground is going to be bad,isn't that a REALLY BIG gamble? I'm not from that area and am not familiar with the show or the grounds but it sounds like Russian Roulette to me. Edited by runs4fun 2013-12-24 5:28 AM

It's hard to pass up when it's so close and the money is that good, I guess I just hoped they would have the ground figured out by the next time!(plus I was going to be there for the roping anyways) I've entered a few times and this past time will be my last! It was worse then it has ever been since I've entered. I have ran at the ACRA finals there a few times as well and never had problems with the ground. Edited by TM Cash 2013-12-24 9:09 AM

I agree- I think they HOPE after ALL this time- they MIGHT figure it out. And its one of those things you just wont know until you get there.

Diva Location: SP, Brazil	This thread reminds me of a joke I heard one time. Why are barrel racers cremated after they die? Because the ground is never good enough. Seriously, even at the World Show the ground looked bad. A lot of shows, rodeo etc. they don't know what good ground is. I am sure that nobody organizing this event wanted horses to fall or be hurt. Sometimes bad ground happens.

The ground at the World Show was bad for the prelims, Michele and Slick fell. Sad when you know they would have made it back. It was fixed for the short go.
