Rules
We at Web Runners are strictly a fantasy club and do
not reflect actual rules governed by real racing associations
1. Anyone from the age of 14 and up may be a member. You must be able to
keep track of your stables earnings for each year.
2. Each stable (at this time) may run up to 50 horses starting at the age
of 2 and no older than 7. Steeplechasers must be 3 years old or older.
3. All horses are 1 year older as of Jan. 1st. We ask that you not keep a
horse actively breeding after the age of 15 even though horses can live to
be in their 30's or older. Because we have a limited amount of file space
and a lot of horses coming up, we will need to have some space available.
You don't have to kill them off but they will be automatically retired
from breeding at the age of 15.
4. Due to the fact that the Studbook is closed, only horses rolled by the
Racing Steward or horses purchased from other owners may be used for
racing. No original horses other than those bred from the established
bloodlines will be used. A horse must be registered in the studbook to be
allowed to race. Members may name their new foals but names of famous
horses such as Alydar, Man-o-War etc may not be used. Please try to be
creative and original in your names. It makes for more fun.
5.The computer determines the official retirement date for each horse. You
may retire a horse after he turns 3 by notifying the Racing Steward.
Horses may be raced after retirement but will run with a permanent
handicap. Mares on retirement will automatically be placed as broodmares
but colts can not be used as stallions unless they have won 4 or more
stakes and have a bloodline Potential factor of 7 or higher. A list is
uploaded at the end of the season with all retirement age horses and any
colts that have met stallion requirement.
6. If a member is not heard from in over a month after joining ,the
Steward will try to contact them. If nothing is heard after two months the
stable will be dropped and the horses given to someone else on the list.
We do ask that you try to enter at least a race a month to keep your
stable active. During the time a member is active, they may do what ever
they wish with their horses i.e. sale, breed or kill them off if so
desired.
7. Horses will be rolled up using the Stretch Drive program developed by
Charles Schultz of MA 8. The common colors are Bay (blood, dark, blackbay,
Mahogany), Chestnut (light, red, dark and Liver), Roan (blue, red and
strawberry and gray...Gray roans are born chestnut or bay and turn gray
with age.
Gray, Black, Brown and on very rare occasions, white, are acceptable colors.
No other, such as Buckskin, Palomino, Pinto or Appaloosa, will be
accepted.
9. Races will be held weekly.
10. Races will run from January until end of Oct. The weeks of November
will be for the Championships.
11. A list of coming 2 year olds will be available for auction in Nov.
but members may sell and buy animals at anytime. Older horses may be
listed as for sale at anytime.
12. A racing schedule will be uploaded to the webpage. Members may choose
which races they would like to enter their horses in. Entries must be to
the race secretary no later than Saturday noon before the race is to be
run so that a pre-race card may be posted. Races will be posted Monday or
Tuesday night unless a major problem develops. If there should be a
scheduling problem occur, the members will be notified in advance if
possible.
