Condition Sheet
Welcome
to the Great Pocomoke City Fair harness racing condition sheet.
It is with great pride and pleasure that we will once again
be conducting USTA sanctioned races in this year's meet in addition
to the exhibition races we have conducted in the recent past.
With the upheaval of Maryland harness racing, I am honestly
uncertain as to how many horses will enter this year's races.
It is my hope that we will have a packed box as we have had
in the past couple years. Due to the uncertainty, all purses
will be listed at $900. I will adjust purses depending upon
the number of races we have (unless over sixty horses enter,
purses will in no case be lowered). In addition, upon entering
please specify whether you wish to race in a sanctioned race
with a charted line, or in an exhibition race.
The Great
Pocomoke City Fair has also changed policy in regard to cancellation
of the races. If it becomes necessary to cancel the races due
to unforeseen circumstances, an expense reimbursement of $100
per horse will be paid. Any leftover funds resulting from a
cancellation will be placed in escrow and added to the following
year's purse fund.
Any entry
in a sanctioned race (charted lines will be generated) requires
all connections (owner, trainer & driver) to be licensed
with the USTA.
This year
we will be contesting a late closer (see below for details)
for horses that made all Maryland Sires Stakes payments and
are 4 years old and up. Both a trot and pace will be contested,
if four horses enter, and the purse for this race will be 20%
higher than the next highest purse. Entries for this race will
close on Sunday July 31 (to allow me to verify payments were
made to MDSS).
The races
will be contested Saturday, August 6 with first post at 1pm
The entry box opens
Wednesday,
July 27 at 10:00 a.m eastern time and closes on Wednesday, August
3 at noon.
I will be
traveling during this time, so please leave a message and I
will return your call by noon the day after your call. I will
arrive in Pocomoke City late on August 2.
Good racing,
Mike Wandishin
Race Secretary
