[Dale T]

March 16th 17th & 18th $2000.00 paid in the finales
Entrees will open at 12:00 on Friday, we will start running dog by 4:00 Friday afternoon and try and get 8-10 races run Friday to start things off.
Then start running races at 8:00am Saturday morning entrees will close at 9:00am so we can get all the heats drawn out and ran.

The Bear race will be Saturday after the heat races and before it gets dark.

Re-entrees will be ran Sunday morning and all dogs entered on Sunday will run in a finale, dogs that are not 1st or 2nd for line or for tree and that ran in the re-entrees will be put in there own final and will run for money.

The dogs will qualify themselves as to where they ran in there heats:

All the 1st line dogs will go into there own finale so that all the fastest dogs on the grounds will be in there own division.
2nd line and both trees will go into a pool of dogs and be drawn out into there own finals.
We have ran our last few Field Trials this way we have never had closer races.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks to all that showed, the weather wasn't near as bad as the forecast, we had a little showers on Friday and only cool and breezy for the rest of the weekend, even with this we still had houndsmen from Oregon, Nevada and all over California come to run there dogs, the entrees were down from last year with only about 270 over all from the Field Trial, re-entrees, the 2 bear races and the puppy race.
