Please note that all horses being entered for the Finals and/or Consolations for any of the Night of Champions events must enter by 10:00 on Wednesday. Horses will be placed into either the Final or Consolation (or for the 2 year old pacing events, the 2nd or 3rd Consolations) based on the points earned throughout the series. The top ten point earners to enter will go in the Final. The next ten point earners who enter will go in the Consolation. Due to the number of horses in both the 2 year old colt and gelding pace (Incredible Finale) and the 2 year old filly pace (Incredible Tillie), a 2nd Consolation ($10,000 purse) and 3rd Consolation ($8,000 purse) have been added. Those Consolations will also be filled based on the points earned, with the 21st-30th place point earners to enter going in the 2nd consolation and the 31st-40th point earners to enter going in the 3rd consolation.

Please note, as in years past, there is a noon detention for the Night of Champions races.

Please also note that all horses nominated to any of these series are eligible to enter, regardless of the number of points earned or whether or not the horse has competed in a leg of the series. We expect that some of the Consolation events may have less than 10 entrants and encourage anyone with an eligible horse to consider entering. The finals and consolations will pay 10 places on a 46-22-11-7-4-2-2-2-2-2 split. No starting fee applies to any of these events.

Again, all horses wanting to compete in any of the Night of Champions events, Finals or Consolations, must be entered by 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
