Please send entry checks to my (Christie's) bank account, and once a BSR account has been set up, all funds will be transferred.
Also note, I'm not currently aware of the financial status of the BSR, so I've posted the purses as they've always been posted, but I need to check where this money will be coming from.

[Shelly]

Uh... i have two horses to enter but no clue where to enter them.... my first steeplechase *marks calander* lol okay... hm... Heather's Best Form and San Sebastian (sp?). Any ideas?

[Christie]

Well, Heather's Best Form (owned by Dana previously, correct?) has been running in allowance level stakes fairly well, and she would be perfect for either the third or the fourth race of the day. As for San Sebastian, I found a result for him from the spring in a hurdle stakes race (similar to the number five race on our bill), but as I haven't seen much of him lately, it might be better if he had a nice warm-up in an allowance race, such as the fourth race. Of course, completely up to you, as you're the one who knows how he's been training lately

[Maya]

BUMP

This meet should technically close today, though I may hold it open a few more days in hopes of finding a few more entries...I've been doing some research in the MHR, and there are certainly a few steeplechasers that are still missing

[Maya]

How much do I owe you for entry fees? I'll send you a check (or send the BSR a cheque?) as soon as I know how much to send for! Thanks again for entering him

[Christie]

Haha, I always forget how to tally these entry costs up as well...I believe it comes to $600 Maya, and yes, please go ahead and send it through to the BSR ;D

Entries are now officially closed! Results should be out sometime tomorrow, as I'm off work
