The LA Pony and Critter Club Derby Day

This event benefits the No-K*ll Los Angeles Animal Adoption Center. Check In opens at 10 am. Potluck starts at 11:00 am. We ask for a donation of $5.00 online or $10 at the door (though you can provide more if you like!) for betting tickets. All of the betting ticket money goes directly to the No-K*ll LA Adoption Center. Suggested donation is $25.00 per person, please.

Location:

Tarzana, California

Betting:

Everyone coming through the door receives 6 tickets. You may purchase betting tickets for $5 each. You cannot participate in the betting nor the Arcade Game without tickets. There will be a sign that explains how the win bets of each race are determined. All bets are placed before each race. Two winners from each race win prizes that have been donated to our LAPACC.

For Derby Day 2025 there will be containers for each Animal Role Play Enthusiast. A random ticket will be drawn out of the container of the winner of the race. Participants have a better chance of winning if they put more tickets in the container than someone else.

Dress code:

The dress code is formal attire or high fetish attire. A prize for the best Hat will be awarded by our Judges.

Races for the Day:

1. Derby Race (Queen’s Cup Event Race)

2. Steeplechase Race

3. Greyhound Race (Natioonal Cup Event Race)

4. Pup and Critter Hurdle Race

5. Trotter Race

6. Pacer Race

After the races, there will be an Arcade Game. This game involves shooting foam darts at human Animal Role Players as they march back and forth, as on an arcade track. If it is hot we may substitute water guns. Participates buy a “round” of darts or a water gun ($10) to shoot at targets.

Again: All Betting Monies and Arcade Game Tickets Monies go directly to the NO-K*ll Los Angeles Adoption Center.

The Pony and Critter with the most ribbon points (Blue ribbon = 3 points, Red ribbon = 2 points, Yellow ribbon = 1 point) will be awarded a Derby Grand Trophy.

TBA will be our event photographer.
