horses affiliated with their cause. Special award sponsors pay any added prize monies to the RRP to hold in escrow and be paid out with all other prize money. Eligibility criteria for special awards is determined by the sponsor. Trainers are responsible for verifying their horse’s eligibility and nominating them on their Final Entry form. Unless otherwise stipulated by the sponsor, special awards results will be determined by final placing after the Finale is completed. Ties result in an equal split of prize money between tied entries.
Waitlists
The RRP does not offer a waitlist for entry into the Thoroughbred Makeover.
The RRP reserves the right to waitlist second discipline entries in any discipline after Final Entries have closed August 15th. The waitlist will be determined by those entering the discipline as a second entry and in the order in which the entry was received.
Waitlists (if necessary) will be posted in the Competitor Portal by August 20th and those impacted will be notified by email.
Horse Welfare
Horse Protection Policy
When a Trainer enters a horse in the Thoroughbred Makeover, he or she agrees to take responsibility for the horse’s well-being and to sell or place it in a responsible manner. If a horse is withdrawn, whether it is replaced by another horse or not, the Trainer will submit an online Thoroughbred Makeover Horse Withdrawal Form indicating the status of the horse. If any Trainer is found to have knowingly sent a horse entered in the Thoroughbred Makeover to a kill buyer or to a livestock auction to be sold for under $1,000, the Trainer will be removed from the competition and be banned from participation in future RRP events.
Drug Testing
2020 USEF Guidelines for Drugs and Medications will be in effect (see link to those guidelines here.) All division winners will be tested in addition to random testing, and positive results will be cause for elimination.
Note that some classes of drugs are permissible below certain levels and that USEF forms are available online or at the information booth to report the use of certain drugs.
