Ace entered in Utility B & Versatility both days: ($24 + $16) x 2 = $80
Ginger entered in Rally Advanced B & Rally Excellent B both days: ($24 + $16) x 2 = $80
Sweep entered in Novice B & Rally Novice B both days: ($24 + $24) x 2 = $96

If because of riots, wars, strikes, civil disturbances, national emergencies, health emergencies, and the dictates of law enforcement or of the owners(s) of the grounds and/or facilities or other acts beyond the control of management, it is impossible to open or complete the trials, no refund of entry fee will be made.
