2017 TS Preakness Stakes *JUDGED*

RESULTS HERE

Registration is CLOSED
Entry Deadline is June 2nd, 2017

All Extra Images are due the day before, the 1st. This means before midnight the day before judging! (Pacific Time Zone)
Entry Images can be submitted the day of judging, the 2nd, but there is no set time when the judging will occur. So it is highly advised that you get your entry images in by the 1st, or you risk not getting your entry submitted on time. As soon as judging begins, no further entries will be accepted.


The Rules
Tracing, Leasing, and Collabs are permitted.
In the event of a Collab, please assign it so one person does the background. That makes judging easier for us, so we can judge the background vs one persons gallery. Be sure to mention who did what in a collab somewhere in your show info.
If you reference or trace an image, give proper credit in the artist description of your work.
Do not re-use old art- the entry must have been made after the creation date of this journal. This goes for training/arrival/extra images, too.
Backgrounds must be drawn and yours. You may re-use them for multiple entries.
Register as many horses as you want so long as they qualify, and you can get your entries in on time.
Only horses registered with Thoroughbred-Society may enter.
You must register for the race/s you want to enter.
I may enter my own horses as well.

If you don't have official reference images for what is required, then any image of them will due. For example, if you don't have a reference of your jockey or riding silks, but you have a training image of your jockey lying around your gallery you can use that link for both Jockey Reference and Silks.

Your Registration Number will be your starting number and the number you include on your race cloth. Your registration number will not effect your score unless you do not include it in your entry. If the angle of your entry does not allow you to include the starting number on the race cloth, include it on the sleeve of your Jockeys arm or on the horses bridle, so you do not loose points. For an example see HERE.

When you complete your entry, include this information in the pictures info. Please comment to this journal with a link to your entry, and please submit your entry to the groups folder titled "TS Monthly Race Entries" All Extra Art for your entries should also be included in this folder.
