<sub>Thanks-for-Givin' Thunder Run

JMR was really excited at the prospect of themed races, so we jumped on the bandwagon.  Since Halloween was already taken, we've claimed the next holiday - Thanksgiving.  Come have a good time with us and bring your ponies!  There will be some finger-lickin' races and some real food for ye hungry folk in the middle of the day, courtesy of Mrs' Miller and Pembrooke, and Pembrooke-Miller.

November Special Races

Rain holds out for morning races, but comes down sporadically for afternoon races.  Craisin Classic has a storm front moving in in the background.

Judging:

Note: This system is an exact replica of the one used at our sister stable, Pembrooke-Fields.  We consider this system to be simple and fair, since it leaves clear instructions to the qualifications and leaves nearly all of the power directly in the hands of the entrant.

Random Score from random.org 1-20: 20 pts possible (URA Merits taken into account)
Artist Improvement: 20 pts possible
I will be checking your gallery for the progress of your work. Do not fear, I will be very thorough. Any change at all, with background, tack, rider, shading, etc will be counted. We can't improve everything at once, and I realize this.
Originality of the Piece: 10 pts possible
completely original = 10 pts, photo background = 5 pts, lineart used = 2 pts
Show Continuity: 20 pts possible
proper season/weather for the race +5 pts
proper surface for the race +5 pts
handler/rider is present +5 pts
proper tack & clothing +5 pts
Training Pictures: 10 pts possible
For every full body training image the horse will receive 1 pt. A maximum of 10 pts will be awarded.
Race Experience: 20 pts possible
1-4 races = 5 pts
5-10 races = 10 pts
10-15 races =15 pts
16+ races = 20 pts
Total possible points: 100 (denotes a perfect score, which will be nigh impossible..)

Prizes

First Place winners in all races will receive a bust of the winning horse with cup or trophy.
All entrants will receive a memorial ribbon as proof of their participation and a mention in the JMR Newsletter.

*Purse money will be distributed based upon the old system of dividing the purse.  The winnings will be divided among the first six placers in every race, as follows:
1st - 60%
2nd - 20%
3rd - 10%
4th - 5%
5th - 3%
6th - 2%

As such, in a $100,000 purse, first gets 60,000, second gets 20,000, third gets 10,000, fourth gets 5,000, fifth gets 3,000 and sixth gets 2,000.  I will tabulate and note prize-winners scores when I post the results.</sub>
