• Entries for training races will be taken starting Fridays at 8:00 a.m. and closing at 12:00 p.m. or when the total number of entries reaches 55 - first come, first serve. Overnights will be available shortly after entries have closed.
• Entries will be limited to 55 Quarter Horses, two-year-olds preferred. Entries for maiden three-year-olds and upward will be taken in the event there are not enough two-year-old entries. No Thoroughbreds!

• Post Time for first race each training race day is approximately 11:30 a.m.
• A copy of the foal certificate is required to be on file in the Racing Office as papers will be used in paddock identification. This is the trainer's responsibility prior to entries, and your horse will NOT run without papers on file.
• All personnel are required to have a current Texas Racing Commission license. No one will be allowed on the grounds without one. NOTE: You will not be able to obtain a license on the day of training races as the Racing Commission office is closed on Mondays.
