Hoosier Hitch-N-Post

Hitch-N-Post Fantasy Claimer Challenge

Hitch-N-Post Fantasy Claimer is limited to twenty (20) stables. In order to participate, you must be a forum member. The date for joining will be based on the meet being used for the game. This information will be clearly posted in this topic. Be sure to watch for updates as to if and when new stables will be accepted.

Guidelines:

1. At the start of the game, each participant will have a $20,000 bankroll.

2. All claims must be made at the track listed for a given game by one hour prior to post time on the day of the race. The first claim entered on a horse is the one that is recognized. If the horse is scratched from the race, the person entering the claim will have the option of acquiring the horse or voiding the claim.

3. If a horse is "actually" claimed from a race at the track, the horse will no longer be in your stable and your account will be credited with the claiming price. You will also receive any monies earned by the horse in the race. If you wish to acquire the horse again, you must must enter a claim the following week.

4. Training bills will be $500/month for each horse in the stable. To simplify horse ownership for our purposes, we will assume no vet bills, blacksmith fees, shipping, paddocks, Salix, etc. In addition, the horse's earnings will include the total amount of purse money earned. No driver fees, trainer percentage, etc. will be deducted from the race winnings.
Note: No adjustments will be made if a horse is later disqualifed as the result of pre or post race drug testing.

5. You may Amish a horse for half of the price you gave for it. Also, you may purchase horses off of the Amish Wagon after they have been sold by other participants.

6. If you run out of money and cannot pay your training bill on the first day of the month, you will go bust and be out of the game.

7. In the event of a situation not addressed by these guidelines, the Site Aministrator will resolve the issue and that decision will be final.

Good luck everyone and let's try to have some fun!
