Welcome to the first ever Kentucky Derby held by the racing-society - don't fret if you aren't part of the group, you can still participate. But join requests are automatically approved and entering will earn points for your horse, so it's highly recommended!
For information on how this will affect your horse and stable ranking in the group (if you are a registered member), please look at our grading systems, here: HORSE RANKING & STABLE RANKING
There will be a 5+ point bonus for your horse if you enter this race- considering it is our first.
(format inspired from HARAE - rip)
When?
Opens Tuesday, April 20th.
Deadline for entries is Friday, May 16th.
Results are given out Saturday, May 17th.
Where?
Louisville, KY. Conditions are rainy - with a high of
The track is a sloppy dirt, at 10 furlongs.
How?
Post your entry on DeviantART.
Be sure to check the judging system below. Don't worry, it's not too complex.
Make a comment on this journal with the link to your entry, any training image (not required), your horse's registered name, and your barn name.
Requirements
You may only enter twice, with different horses. One entry per horse.
You do not have to be a member or registered with the group, but it is recommended if you wish to use our points system.
You do not have to be a member of HARPG or any similar group, but you must have some kind of fictional stable.
Naturally colored (with exceptions for natural colors that don't apply in the breed standard) horses over 14hh only. No user-created breeds.
The barest minimum you must do for your entry is some part of your horse pictured (legs, an eye), but low effort will greatly decrease your chances of winning the race. Backgrounds are not required.
Training images and vet check images are not required. You may have only one training image.
Training images can be headshots, fullbodies or sketches. Whatever you'd like.
Tracing is allowed, linearts are not.
Horse must be 3 years of age, and a thoroughbred! We will be holding other races for other horses coming soon!
All art must be your own.
Grading system
The judging system will be largely RNG (random.org) based, with influence from effort and attention to the race conditions.
Your entry will be compared to the judging template below and your points will be tallied up and totaled to determine your place in the race.
Your judge for this race will be: JUDGE NEEDED!
1-30+ randomly generated points
1-10+ location
10+ (at least partial) jockey and tack
5+ training image
5+ fullbody entry
2+ headshot entry
The person with the most amount of entry points will win. If there is a tie, the winner will be rolled for with RNG.

::NOTICE:: Hiatus (6/12/2014)
Hello everybody!
(Notes and things sent during this hiatus will -not- be answered just yet, however the ones that are waiting - and have been for a while - are getting replied too very very soon!)
Well, I'm SugarItch (https://www.deviantart.com/sugaritch) and I'm the new owner of the Racing-Society. We've certainly gone around huh? Well, I really want this group to go well and thus am TEMPORARILY putting the group on a hiatus while I research a bit more on racing so the group can be awesome.
*When we return, we WILL be hosting a race! We will need donations at that time, but that all will be posted when we're back, and I'll also be checking our last race we hosted and figuring

Racing Society News and Updates
(5/8/14)
So, I do not have the time or ability to moderate this group any longer. Health issues and some issues with harassment by members to me personally have left me with the decision to surrender my position with the group. If you have any interest in running this group, please get a hold of me.

(4/19/14)
The group is officially under new management! I'm JValdis (https://www.deviantart.com/jvaldis) and I'm hoping to get this group running and active yet again! For now it will be in the way of collecting sponsored and sanctioned races as well as getting a new race up! And it'll be something big for all the American racing fans out there *wink wink*

JANUARY WEEKLIES - NONE RUNNING (3/5/13 -)
ENTRIES ACCEPTED UNTIL SATURDAY 12:00AM PACIFIC TIME
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO REQUIREMENTS
:new: - Weeklies will most likely take the name, location, and condition of real races. That doesn't mean the requirements are exactly the same: it's just to provide some background and a viable, attractive name for your horse's race career.
I have made it possible to earn a 5+ point boost for anyone who wants to do a training image. It doesn't have to be elaborate- but I figured it might help for those who want to do the extra work and don't want to leave things entirely up to the odds.

I would enter if it was more Effort based and less RNG based. Say if someone did an AMAZING entry that featured 6 full bodies horses with a large background, and training images, etc... Yet they got the RNG score of 1. Yes someone who did a horrible image that had no background, was only a headshot, barely colored, and got a RNG score of 30. They would win. That's not fair at all.
