The plan is to host this race annually and to payout 100% of Entry Fee Money. All slots are numbered, and entries made according to Owners name and slot number. Slot number is NOT your Draw number.

Tour/Finale Race Rules

Tour Stop #2 will be held in Hattiesburg, MS in conjunction with the Linda Gail Stewart Memorial Race

The Tour races will be held in a 2D Format and limited to 150 entries.

Should the 1D not fill, at either Tour Stop, the top 50 will be taken to the Finale.

Finale will be held in conjunction with Christmas in Dixie

The Finale will consist of 100 entries, 25 qualifiers, per division, at each Tour Stop.

Each horse may only be entered and run ONCE in the GRAND SLAM Slot Race Tour/Finale. There will be NO LIMIT to the number of times a rider can participate. A horse/ rider combination can only qualify for the GRAND SLAM FINALE one time. Should a horse/rider combination prefer to run in more than one tour race, their first qualification will be used. (Example: John Brown has purchased a slot at Tour Stop #1, Perry, GA and also purchased a slot at Tour Stop #2, Hattiesburg, MS. John Brown qualifies for the Finale in the 1D at Perry GA Tour Race. John Brown decides to run the same horse he previously qualified on in Hattiesburg MS, at Tour Stop #2, where he qualifies in the 2D. John Brown will still collect his payout from the #2 Tour Stop, but we will void his qualification and move to the next person that hasn’t previously qualified in that division) The Grand Slam Slot Race Finale will be based on the rider qualification only. This means that the qualified rider may choose any horse(s) to run in each qualified spot they have in the Finale.
