Wednesday, August 10th, 11PM Update:
Options for the Derby
The weather forecast for Saturday keeps changing, with the most recent a little more promising. We will do our best to run all Derbies on Saturday, as scheduled. The Awards Party for the Summer Series will be in the Longacres barn beginning about 5:30 PM, as planned, rain or shine.
Plan ÒBÓ for the Derbies
Because of the moderate chance of rain on Saturday, we will be running a Òdress rehearsalÓ for all four of the lower Derbies beginning at 2PM Friday. The lowest two are being run just for Longacres students. One of the 2Õ3Ó Derbies and the 2Õ6Ó Derby are open to all.
Riders from other stables are welcome to take part in the Friday Òdress rehearsalÓ Derbies at no charge, for the fun of it.
IF THE DERBIES ARE RAINED OUT on Saturday, the Friday results will count, and ribbons & Coolers will be awarded at the Awards Party. Non-Longacres riders who placed in the rehearsal Derbies Friday may pay the appropriate entry fee after the fact and receive their awards at the party.
We will make every effort to run the High Derby Saturday evening as scheduled. If it is actually raining or the field is too wet, it will be cancelled and a for fun make-up high Derby may be held on the following Friday after Erie County Fair. In any case, the Awards Party is on rain or shine in the Longacres Barn Saturday night.

The day features the annual Longacres Bold Jumper Derby over a course of 32 fences on the big show field. Beginner and Puddle Jumper Derbies begin at 11AM. The featured event at about 6PM after the ÒAdults Cocktail partyÓ and festivities are well under way!
There is always a crowd participation Calcutta Auction to bet on the winner before the evening Derby gets under way.
Awards presentations for the Summer Series Season Champions are held at about 8:30 PM under spotlights with usually a bagpipe band in attendance. The Season Champion trophies are as tall as some of the riders! We give awards back to 5th place in all divisions this year! Be there! y
Check the information on Season Championship divisions for 2011 at this link. There are a few changes from last year to reflect our experience in the most popular show divisions. The divisions we will Award Championships for at the AUGUST 13TH AWARDS PARTY are these. These were the most popular for last season. We can add a Championship Division if anyone wants and if they can obtain $250 in sponsorship, which is the actual cost of the awards for an extra division.
