TS Quality Bound Mile (On-Going Bi-Monthly)

Registration is OPEN - Runs twice a month

Entry Deadline is December 15th, 2016

All Extra Images are due the day before the deadline. This means before midnight the day before judging! (Pacific Time Zone)
Entry Images can be submitted the day of judging, but there is no set time when the judging will occur. So it is highly advised that you get your entry images in by the day before the deadline, or you risk not getting your entry submitted on time. As soon as judging begins, no further entries will be accepted.

The Rules
This race is only for horses registered with TS that do not qualify for Quality Blood yet! Even if your horse is not registered Quality Blood, but qualifies, your registration will be denied! If your horse is registered for the race but reaches/qualifies for Quality Blood before you draw your entry, your horse will be scratched!
Tracing, Leasing, and Collabs are permitted.
In the event of a Collab, please assign it so one person does the background. That makes judging easier for us, so we can judge the background vs one persons gallery. Be sure to mention who did what in a collab somewhere in your show info.
If you reference or trace an image, give proper credit in the artist description of your work.
Do not re-use old art- the entry must have been made after the creation date of this journal. This goes for training/arrival/extra images, too.
Backgrounds must be drawn and yours. You may re-use them for multiple entries.
Register as many horses as you want so long as they qualify, and you can get your entries in on time.
Only horses registered with Thoroughbred-Society may enter.
You must register for the class/classes you want to enter.
I may enter my own horses as well.
More than one horse may be entered through one image. Extra horses in the image must be divided up (For example, if you have 1 extra horse in your image it can only count towards one of your horses score). Separate stories must be written for each horse for them to count towards each horses score. Background will be judged the same towards both horses score.

LOCATION AND WEATHER
This months race will be held at White Blood Race Course, Pangaea Isles. It is Fall on the Island. Be sure to check the weather specifically for each show to make sure you are drawing the correct weather. There is no snow on the track. However, the mountains are still snowed over, as always. The racetrack is dirt. The racing rail is black with the posts that go into the ground being purple. Beside the first stretch is forestry with mountain ranges in the background (shown here but without the building in the back) and around the first turn to the second stretch is more forestry (shown here but the horses would be facing the other way since these are all Left-Handed races). Our race track has a path that leads up towards the grounds in the direction of the loading gates. We do not have any grand stands to sit at, so spectators may stand by or drive up to the racing rail. Bring your own chairs or use a tailgate if you would like. With the forest so close, there is possible wildlife along the way, including Printer the squirrel (shown Here), deer, mountain lions, birds, etc. To put the background simply, if you draw the horses running to the left, you will see the outside rail of the track in the background with forestry behind the rail. If you draw your horses running to the right, you will have to draw the inside rail as well as the opposite side of the track in the background, with the forestry behind that. Also, Mountain Ranges are visible behind the forestry around the whole track. Remember that we don't have grand stands, so you may see people standing around the rail at any part.

If you are worried your background is incorrect, or your WIP is incorrect, etc, feel free to privately note me at any time so we can work it out together! It is chilly outside, in the mid-high 60's, low 70's (Fahrenheit) with a heavy breeze. The sun is shining, with clouds in the sky, and the special Pangaea Isles Pine trees have classic fall colors.
