Prairie Meadows Stakes


Nomination forms for the Prairie Meadows stakes races were mailed Monday, July 14th. If you lose them or don't receive them they are available online by clicking here.
 

Iowa Horseman Passes

I've been notified that long time Iowa horseman Ken Buck of Denison passed away Sunday evening. Visitation is scheduled for Wednesday at the Huebner Funeral Home (1437 Broadway) in Denison from 3-7pm with services on Thursday at 1pm (not 10am as previously reported) at the United Presbyterian Church (205 N. 24th Street).
 

Circuit Book Corrections

An official list of corrections to the circuit book has been published. To view the corrections click here. The circuit book PDF on the menu has been updated with the corrections. Please update your books as changes to draw dates are as published here.
 

New Feature


As a new feature for 2008 the full circuit book and a consolidated draw listing are now available on the menu to the left. The drawing for the first races is Wednesday, May 21st. We are working on a list of corrections to the circuit book. The primary one is that the overnights will be split first by lifetime money earned.

Also, if you want to enter a first time starter they have to have their eligibility activated with the USTA or they will not be allowed to enter.

Qualifyer/Schooler Schedule


There have been some modifications to the schedule of schoolers/qualifiers tentatively published in the board meeting minutes. They will now be held at Humboldt on both May 10th and May 17th with entries up to 11:00am and start time of 1:00pm.

Schoolers will also be held at What Cheer on May 24th, the day before the opening races, with qualifiers on the 25th after the races. The races on the 25th will be charted, so feel free to enter in the purse races and if needed you can be added back in a qualifier.

The fundraiser for Representative Eric Palmer, one of our primary supporters in the legislature this past year, has been changed to after the races on Sunday, May 25th. Food will be provided with a contribution to the fundraiser.

We will also be doing a fundraiser for Representative Tom Sands on July 12th in a similar fashion. Both were crucial in our effort to block the Prairie Meadows supported legislation this past spring. Now is the time for us to support them in their reelection efforts.

Disability Insurance Applications Available


I have received a large packet of the applications for the USTA Long-Term Disablity Insurance. I would strongly encourage all members who are USTA licensed drivers and/or trainers to take advantage of this opportunity to protect themselves and their families in case of an accident. Anyone who is interested please contact me and I will get the forms to you.
