$45 Total Entry Eee (includes office fee)
We do take pre-entries for our regular Thursday night jackpots. You don't HAVE to pre-enter, but we are getting up to 50-60 pre-entries some weeks. If you enter on site, you can expect that there may not be any earlier draw spots available as most people pre-entering are asking for early draw spots. We do NOT allow pre-entries for any given Thursday prior to that Monday at 9:00am. Please do not bug Marti prior to Monday at 9am on the week of the race. To pre-enter, text the rider First Name, Last Name, and Horse Name to Marti at 951-733-0596

DIRECTIONS:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Jackpots are held at George Ingall's Equestrian Event Center at 3737 Crestview Dr, Norco, CA 92860.
The address is on Crestview but the directions are as follows: Take I-15 to the Sixth Street exit in Norco, CA. Head east on 6th street until it dead ends. When the street dead ends you just keep driving straight into a dirt driveway which leads you right into the arena. This chain link gate is labeled as gate #1. Occasionally during construction this gate is closed and you have to enter off of Crestview Dr. where there are 2 or 3 additional gates to get to the arenas (Gate #6 and Gate #7)
Jackpot Producer: Jerry Lunde (951) 212-2238

GENERAL THURSDAY NIGHT JACKPOT INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------
No membership is required, just show up and run. Each Thursday night event is held as a separate event. You are not required to sign-up for a series even if one is currently underway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
RULES
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The following are city rules and need to be followed so that we can continue having these jackpots.
ALL riders (anyone sitting on a horse) on city property during Thursday Night events are REQUIRED to sign a release of liability. If you have NOT signed one, please see the book-keeper/ gate person prior to getting on your horse. These releases are good for a full year so you only need to sign one once per year.
Riders under the age of 16 are REQUIRED to wear helmets. Please plan accordingly.
NO SMOKING! Ingalls Park is owned and operated by the City of Norco, and all city parks have no smoking policies in effect. However, Ingalls Park has special exemptions to allow smoking in certain designated areas. Smoking is still prohibited in spectator areas. This includes all bleacher areas as well as spectator areas where picnic tables are placed throughout the event center. If you would like to smoke during our weekly Jackpots, please do so out in the parking and driving areas away from all picnic tables, bleachers and any areas where spectators are gathered.
NO DOGS! All dogs MUST be on a leash (City law). No dogs are permitted in the spectator areas including the picnic tables near the arena entrance gates. PLEASE do NOT bring your dogs with you to check-in or sign-up. Our book keeper is terrified of dogs (yes even small fluffy dogs) and she cannot be around them at all, even if they are on a leash. Please leave them at your trailer when you come sing-up or come to the office for any reason.
