• A knocked barrel will result in a no time.
• An electric timer will be used. If timer fails the contestant will be given the option of a rerun. If electric timer fails, MPH will use a stopwatch/flagger in place of timer. If a barrel is hit and the timer fails, the rider will NOT be given a re-run; the tipped barrel results in a NT.
• If a timer is hit by a contestant, a $75 fee will be incurred.
• The ground will be raked every 5 runs and big drags will be determined by the total number of entries.
• Pre entries are requested. One week prior to each race, a post will be made on Facebook for pre-entries.

• Senior is open to all riders 50 and up. May enter multiple horses. Only the open run can carry to the Senior. .5 second splits.
• If an open runner has "carried" to senior, they may opt to RUN their senior after their open run. They are required to pay a $5 office fee and notify the office ASAP of the change. This policy ensures our horses are improving each run and allows the contestant to make improvements-which is the focus of MPH.
