DISTRICT 1 - BAY AREA TIME BUSTERS 

SAN JOSE/GILROY 

http:www.batbgymkhana.com 

By Sheri Herchkorn 

Hello from D1. Our Aloha show June 13-14 was a huge success! We had wonderful 

weather and a great turn out. 

It all started Friday afternoon with set-ups and it was Ashley Hofman’s 18th birthday, 

and Skip and Lesa had the “Taco Man” out from Watsonville, who cooked up dinner 

for all those present... it was delicious, thank you Skip and Lesa! 

On Saturday, the riders and family members received flower leis to start the show. 

The sign up booth, snack shack and announcers booth were decorated in a tropical 

theme. The show started promptly at 9 am. We ran 7 events. During the day, the 

board of D1 had put together baskets for a silent auction with the proceeds going to 

our state show sponsorship program. The silent action raised $1,587.00 !! with one of 

the baskets holding a $100.00 bill!! 

Our board members out did themselves and the baskets were a big hit. Thank you to 

Phyllis and Rodger Odom, Ben and Pam Novinsky, Roberta and Jack Jiracek, Edie 

and Mike Behning, Mindi Sullivan and Dymond Wafler, Danna Herchkorn, Farrell 

and CJ Rand for doing such awesome baskets. (hope I didn’t forget anyone, if I did let 

me know and I will put you in the next article) The highest bid baskets were donated 

by Mindi Sullivan and were for a one week vacation at her Pine Mountain Lake cabin. 

There was a bidding war going on for the basket between Amy Odom and Dean Hood, 

so Mindi graciously donated a second week, so they both won !! 

At this time our sponsorship program is for younger D1 members who would like to 

go to state show but whose families can’t afford too. They must write in to tell the 

board why they would like to go to state show and what it would mean to them. D1 is 

proud to be sponsoring 3 young members this year. We hope to expand the program 

for next year.

After everyone got their ponies put away and cleaned up we had a great BBQ that was 

catered by “Famous Dave’s” from Gilroy. The dinner was chicken, ribs, corn biscuits 

and coleslaw and was really awesome. Best thing was we all got to eat, but we didn’t 

have to cook, serve or clean up and that was great! As soon as dinner was over, 8 

Second Ride started playing and we all danced until the band had to leave since they 

had another show to do early Sunday morning. 

Sunday morning started at 9am, the snack shack had breakfast burritos and all was 

good.

planning. Thanks to Phyllis Odom for taking all the entries and setting the show up in 

the computer. The ground was awesome due to Rodger Odom and Skip Hofman. Our 

ever favorite parking director was Ben Novinsky, our great announcers for both days 

were Mike Behning and Jeff Arabia, Booth workers and computer imput by Edie 

Behning, Danielle Behning, Roberta Jiracek, Ashley Vaughn and others, Judging were 

Skip Hofman, Dennis Cole, Shannon Rahn, Arlene Tsuji, Rodger Odom, Rebekah 

Crill, Chris Rowles, Bev Hampton, Diana Malley, Pam Novinsky, Mindi Sullivan and 

myself. Thanks to Lea Legnon for helping in the arena and in the snack shack. Eric 

and Tiffany thanks for working in the snack shack too. We had a ton of arena help and 

gate workers and I won’t be able to remember all of you, but we know you helped and 

thank you all so much. We gave out workers awards of $50.00 cash each day as well 

as other prizes. 

We are already talking about next years show and working on awards, you can never 

start too early! 

Don’t forget it is once again going to be time for nominations for the D1 board. We 

meet on the first Wednesday of the month for dinner, have a great meeting and get to 

visit. We really do have a great time and we would love to have some new faces. If 

you don’t want to be on the board, consider at least coming to our meetings to see 

what we are all about. If you are interested in running or would like to nominate 

someone, please let us know. If you don’t want to be President, VP, Treasurer or 

Secretary we always welcome directors and the more the merrier. We won’t refuse 

anyone or any help, believe me!! 

Our Autumn series starts in September and consists of two weekends (4 separate 

shows). The dates are September 12-13 and October 10-11. Highpoint for the 4 shows

will be custom belt buckles and reserve will be custom bronc halters with an autumn 

theme. More on the shows next article. 

To top off the show Sunday afternoon during setups Nathan Rowles riding Ace, 

Completed his Hall Of Fame run with Figure 8 Flags. CONGRATULATIONS 

NATHAN! Nathan is the first Hall of Fame rider to come out of district 1 since Amy 

Odom in 2001. In recognition of his achievement District 1 is proudly sponsoring 

Nathan at State Show 2009. 

All of us at D1 are looking forward to State Show. It just seems to be coming quicker 

every year. In one moment it seems forever ago and then it seems like it was just 

yesterday and we are going back out to Bolado park. Can’t wait to see you all there. 

Until next time be safe and wear those helmets.

LATE NIGHT RIDERS 

By Charlie Moore 

State Show is over already and we have new State Champions!!! And because I’m 

typing this in early July, I have no idea who won what at State Show but Congratulations 

to everyone. There really isn’t anything quite like a CGA State Championship 

show. 

The Late Night Riders held their last show of the 2008-2009 season on July 11. It was 

our annual Setup Show and so there are no winners to report from that show. Hopefully, 

some of the riders chasing times got what they needed. 

Future Champion 12/Under High Point 

Future Champion 13-34 High Point 

The Saturday, June 13th, show was one of those perfect days. Cool and little breezy 

with the high only in the upper seventies, it was perfect horse riding weather. About 

55 riders agreed and they all came to ride. Some were chasing times and some were 

looking for their final State Year End Awards times that they needed for that Silver 

Buckle or Bridle Set. There were quite a few sign ups for the Late Night Riders Year 

End Awards too. Our banquet and awards will be Sunday October 4, 2009. Stay 

tuned for the details and location. 

Thank you Deann and Alfredo for catering our snack bar. I had the chicken sandwich 

and it was really good. It’s hard to say which is better, the hamburgers or the chicken 

so I just switch every other show and enjoy them both. If you haven’t had one of their 

cold fruit bowls you just don’t know what you’re missing. Those are so good and 

refreshing on hot summer evenings. Deann and Alfredo are very gracious and 

accommodating to everyone.

Welcome back to Stephanie and Charlotte Fairbank. They came all the way from 

Redding before they discovered that Stephanie forgot her jeans. Not to worry, District 

Five is here to help. Jody Abel jumped in their car and away they went to Jody’s 

house to see if they could find a pair of jeans for Stephanie and sure enough, they did. 

They even got back in time for the first event. District 5 aims to please. Also, 

welcome back to old friends and riders Barbara Godfrey on Foxy, Erin Godfrey on 

Java, Joanie Higgins on “Big” Red (he’s the littlest “big” I’ve ever seen), and Jenna 

Speth on Cowboy. I thought that new rider Heather Wollenslegel on Montana was 

spelled “wrong” on the announcers sheets so my apologies to Heather. We won’t 

make that mistake again if you will come back. 

As always we must thank those folks who worked this show. Working in the booth as 

Announcers/Time Writers: Charlotte Fairbank, Audra Milko, Jody Abel, Tina 

Ch(usual spelling), Anna Rose, Krystal Murray, Jeffrey Morlet, Judy Sharp and Danny 

Ross. Our Judges for the day were: Jody Abel, Carla Olsen, Sally Rivera-Lingafeldt, 

Stacy Rivera, Andrea Brymer, Teresa Barosso, Nelda Reyes, and Mike Barosso. 

Apprentice Judges were Ashleigh Couch & Casey Milko. Gate Swingers were: 

Amanda Ochoa, Bob Scott, Jeff Morlet, Shirley Garrett, and Danielle Sandy. Setting 

up and taking down the obstacles and helping in the arena were: Carla Olsen, Danny 

Ross, Amanda Ochoa, Charlotte Fairbank, LaDonna Hale, Kim Vollmer, Krystal 

Murray, Priscilla McDaniel, and Nina Ketcherside. THANK YOU to all these folks 

for helping out so the riders could ride. Many of these people are also riders and they 

still helped run the show. 

In addition to Judging, Time Writing & Announcing, Jody Abel was our Ribbon/ 

Coupon Captain. Thank you Jody. 

Only Worker Coupons are eligible for the “Free Show” drawing and most of the time 

there are enough coupons for two Free Shows. That was the case and the hard 

working winners of a Free Show worth $30 were: Shirley Garrett and Jody Abel!!! 

Congratulations to you both. 

The Mystery Jackpot was Speed Barrels and the pot was pretty good with a total of $ 

80.00.

Congratulations to all the riders and winners. We hope you had fun and please come 

ride with us again. 

There were 37 riders at the June 20th show and the weather was a little warm but not 

too bad with a nice cool delta breeze blowing all evening. Roquel Merrick on Fanci 

was smokin’ with two new arena records. Shanalee Lewis on B.B. has held the Pony 

Barrels record since May 6, 2006 with a 19.299 but the new record holder is Rocky & 

Fanci with a Pony Barrel time of 18.978. They also took down Mariah deMontigny 

and Tyme to Aploud’s Fig. 8 Stake record of 11.107 with a scorching Supreme run of 

11.047. Those records will probably hold for a while. Congratulations to Rocky and 

Fanci!!! 

Creative Lunch Box was there with Alfredo grilling hot dogs, burgers and chicken 

sandwiches. They also accept the coupons the same as money. The Creative Lunch 

Box never lets us down and we appreciate their goodies and cooking. 

A big welcome back to Julia Milo on Willow. We haven’t seen the Milo family in 

quite a while and it was really nice to visit with them. 

Thank you to all the workers who pitched in and helped. Announcers/Time Writers 

were: Renee Birdsong, Jonathan Slaton, Audra Milko, Britny Milko, Charlie Moore, 

Bob Scott, Diana Malley and Pawel Urban. Judges were: Bev Hampton, Jody Abel, 

Judy Sharp, and Nelda Reyes. Our Gate Swingers were: Lorraine Slaton, Gia Harmon, 

Bob Scott, and Malissa Romero. Arena Aides helping set up, re-set and take down 

were: Brayden Merrick, Bailey Merrick, Kasey Hales, Selena Gayden, Renee 

Birdsong, Trent Haak, Brittney Milko, Malissa Romero, Marissa Stevens, and Danny 

Ross. These folks all earned coupons for each event they worked that are worth a $1 

for rides or the snack bar or for the “Workers Only” Free Show drawing. 

Our Ribbon/Coupon Captain was Jody Abel. Thank you Jody. 

Our Free Show drawing for Workers Only had enough coupons for two Free Shows. 

Our Free Show coupons are worth $30 and only workers can enter the drawing. In 

addition to worker coupons all District 5 workers get free sodas and water from the 

snack bar. Our winners of the Free Shows were - Nelda Reyes and Dianna Malley. 

Congratulations to you both for all the help and thank you.

I hope everyone had a successful State Show and a great time. District 7 is gearing up 

to start a new season and looking forward to more good times and fun. Our June show 

was blessed with beautiful weather and plenty of help. Thanks to everyone who 

stepped up and volunteered. Thank you’s to Barry and Shannon Rahn for the 

fantabulous ground, Craig and Stephanie Miller, Trish Kelly, Gere Azevedo and 

Britney Mann for your tireless efforts. SOB catering provided us with scrumptious 

food throught the weekend. I love the smoothies! 

The highlight of the weekend was the final HOF run by Sierra Madrigal Sunday 

morning. We had Big T set up for her early Sunday so that if she needed she could 

load up and drive to another district and try again. Not necessary, she completed her 

plus time in Big T and was dunked in the mud, according to tradition. Her entourage 

was there to witness the accomplishment, such a small girl on a huge horse. Congratulations 

Sierra! 

District 7 looks forward to the new season. Come on over and ride with us, we are 

happy to see you! Volunteers are always welcomed, we would be happy to train you! 

Clements has free dry camping, and stalls available for a small fee. Any questions, 

check out our website.

so many hours in the arena! Chris Rowles thanks for finding a way to ride and get 

right back into the arena. Bev Hampton, Diana Malley, Lisa Bradley, and CJ Jones 

thanks for stepping up and judging or working events. 

There are a few people that the booth would like to acknowledge, Deb Simmons and

and helping her stay organized and keep the times correct. 

Raffle queens Shannon Hatano and Mary Sullivan-White thank you for doing such a 

great job with the raffle.

Way to keep the show going and keeping us entertained. The banter between the two

The rest of the workers, it’s hard to name you all, there were so many, So a blanket 

thank you from the riders and show management, without you guys picking up 

obstacles, opening and closing gates the show would not be possible. So to all of the 

unsung worker’s thank you! 

Finally the riders, what a great group of riders that made their way to Salinas for the 

4th. It is truly a privelage to host the show for you. We believe that is our responsibility

Well we did it; we made it to the end of the season! The two day show went smooth 

and had an amazing turn out. The bbq was a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed playing 

games in the arena. Congrats to all the two day show winners. With that all said we 

had a big turn out for the last show of the season that was held on June 27th. The 

competition was tense as everyone was riding hard to keep or move up their points 

in the standings. The ground was fast and riders were making personal bests and 

starting to think about moving up to a faster class next season. The weather was 

very hot and we were very lucky we didn’t really have anyone go down from the 

heat. We had a lot of help from the volunteers that day and it really made a difference, 

so thank you so much your help doesn’t go unnoticed. Now we have a 

number of riders leaving at the end of July for State and we wish them the best of 

luck. We want to congratulate all of you on your hard work this season and all the 

winners. The banquet date will be announced soon and Paula will be in touch with 

everyone on their awards. 

We really want to continue to give thanks to our amazing sponsors: Jim Arnone & 

Curtis Cox, Sanders Family & Harold Jones Landscaping and Green Acres. The 

Sanders Family have made such a difference with sponsoring all expenses in a 

future champion -12 class for an entire year and the kids love it. Make sure you all 

our sponsors at the banquet!! 

We hope to see all of you at the next show season.

Dusty Spurs ha a new web site set up by Lisa Duggan. I think this will be great for the

site. The nominations for the board are Lisa Duggan for President, Dawn Fiedler for 

Vice President, Debi Willis for Secretary, John Duggan for Arena Manager, and Sandi 

Lintelman for Treasurer. They are all nominated unopposed, so they are your new 

board members for 2009-2010. 

I would like to let the members of Dusty Spurs know this has been a wonderful year, I 

have enjoyed being your president, I wish it could go on, but it can’t. We started off on 

a shaky foot this year, not knowing if Dusty Spurs would make it AND we did. The 

club is once again strong and I am proud of every member who stuck by and made this 

club work. THANK YOU. Dusty Spurs will be in good hands next year and I will see 

you all out at the arena in September.

VALLECITOS SPURS SAN MARCOS AREA 

By Alexis Mehlmauer 

In the month of June, we had two really great shows. On our the June 21st show we 

were pleased to witness Avielle Lehman on her beautiful little pony, Suncrest Hello 

Dolly, make Hall of Fame! We anxiously awaited speedball, for she only needed one 

more time in this event. In making this great success, Avielle also broke the 10 year 

old speedball record! We are proud of both her and her pony! Avielle was congratulated 

with a dip into a mud bath and then topped with shaving cream, whipped cream, 

and silly string. Avielle we are so proud of you and that little pony! We know you 

worked so hard and we were all glad to be with you. 

Thank you to our judges: Bill Anderson, Andy Krogh, Bob Krogh, Carrie Krogh, Lori 

Hall-McNary, and John Mehlmauer. And I would also like to congratulate our new 

apprentice judge, Donny! And we would all like to thank everyone who helped out 

with the gate, arena help, time writing, announcing, and a big thank you to Mia 

Roseberry who is always working behind the computer, Diane Krogh who is so 

wonderful, helping to make sure the show runs smoothly, and our cooks! We have 

some wonderful people helping us out. We all would like to say thank you! 

I would just like to say congratulations to all of our riders for doing a GREAT job! It 

was such a great show, and everyone who came, helped to make it fabulous!

CENTRAL COAST RIDERS 

By Laura Rice 

We had 22 riders at our June 28 th show. We had a little bit of excitement that day. 

Jamie Donati fell backwards after leading Jeanette’s horse Charley in the arena. From 

where I was sitting, it looked like Charley ran her over, but apparently, her spurs got 

twisted together causing her to trip. I found out later that she fractured her scapula 

(shoulder bone). OUCH! Jamie we hope you are all better soon. Hailey Shiffer fell 

of Hank after he went down after her speed ball run. Her boot was caught for a 

moment and I thought she was going to get hurt but Hank just stood there and waited 

for her to get up like a good boy. We had a couple of buckers that day. Kelsie Ponds 

new pony Daisy bucked a little after her Scurry run. Alea Cunningham was running 

back from the third barrel during barrels when Little Bit decided he was feeling good 

and bucked. Luckily both riders stayed on. Way to cowgirl up!

The Judge's 

Corner 

"The Judge’s Corner" has appeared in this paper with a varying degree of regularity 

since 1991. CGA Judges, Members and Work Crew are invited to submit difficult calls 

or unusual questions that occur so that others can learn from their experiences. The best 

ones (unusual or just plain odd) will be printed here. 

If you have input for this column, please send your question to the CGA State Office. 

Your question will be answered by a Master Judge and the Rules Chairman. If there is 

any disagreement, it will be submitted to the Rules Committee and MAC for final resolution. 

If anyone has questions concerning this ruling you may contact the Rules Chairman, 

Shannon Rahn 209-712-5150. 

The following are some of the questions that have come up in the last month. By the 

time you read this we will be in Hollister for State Finals - see you there! 

Q - If a rider runs an event and reverses (Figure 8 Flags, Figure 8 Stakes or Quadrangle) 

and it is brought to the attention of the judge that there was no reverse foul line 

- DOES THE RIDER HAVE TO RE RIDE - DOES THE RIDER HAVE TO 

REVERSE THE RE RIDE 

A - This has come up several times in the past and YES, all of the reverse riders would 

be required to re ride - due to the fact that CGA only allows an eighty foot start from 

foul line to timing line. If there is no foul line, we cannot be sure how far from the 

timing line the rider began their run. Part 2 - NO, the rider would be starting the event 

over completely and would not be required to reverse the run the second time. 

Q - In Hurry Scurry if a horse knocks the jump and both poles are dislodged from the 

center foam piece and the center foam piece falls over but somehow the poles manage 

to fall on top of the knocked down middle foam piece - IS THERE A PENALTY 

A - YES, a two second penalty would be incurred, because the middle piece fell over. 

5.7 Knocking Down or Touching Obstacles - Knocking down or dislodging any 

obstacle, including timing poles, shall result in a two second penalty for each obstacle 

(pole, barrel, etc.) knocked down or dislodged. However, touching an obstacle with 

the intent of keeping it from going down shall not result in a penalty. An obstacle that 

has been knocked to the ground and bounces back to an upright position will be 

considered a downed obstacle. In Hurry Scurry, a pole must touch the ground to be 

considered dislogded. 

Q - In Hurry Scurry if a horse has one leg go over the block on the outside of the 

jump is it a good ride 

A - YES, the block on the edge of the jump is considered part of the jump. 

Hurry Scurry - Go through timing line and either go down left side making two jumps, 

a right turn around the pole and 1 jump, or go down right side making 1 jump, a left 

turn around the pole and two jumps, then go back across the timing line. Special 

penalty: The rider will be disqualified if all four feet of the horse do not go over each 

jump and the course is not corrected. 

Q - If a lead line rider has moved up to Future Champion division is it OK for the 

parent to walk along side of them for a while to make sure they do alright 

A - NO. Either a rider is a lead liner and they are assisted through the course, or they 

are a Future Champion and they complete the course on their own. A parent or other 

helper can assist the rider into the arena and stay behind the timing line and “coach” 

the rider while on course, but that person cannot walk along side while the rider rides 

the event. 

Q - While I am judging a rider is assisted into the arena by someone on foot, the 

assistant continued to hold the bridle of the horse waiting for me to give the rider the 

go ahead to ride, I waited until the assistant released the horse and the rider was in 

control before releasing the rider - was I correct 

A - YES. If a rider is assisted into the arena by another rider (mounted) or by someone 

on foot, they must acknowledge the judge for the ride when ready signal while in 

control of the horse without assistance. 

Continued page 14. 

Page 13

Judges Corner Cont. 

Q - When is the third ride option given to a rider 

A - The only time a third option is ever given is due to a timer malfuncion — if a rider 

runs a clean course with no penalties and the timers fail, the rider is given another ride. 

If the second run results in a penalty or no time, the rider will be given a third option. 

The third run is the final result and no further options are given. Third options are not 

used for illegal courses or any other reason. If a course is rerun for any reason other 

than timer malfunction (obstacle not on the dot, no foul line, unsafe ground, etc) the 

first ride is obsolete and the re ride will be the riders time. 

B - Rider’s option: If a rerun is required because of timer problems, the rider will 

rerun under one or the other of the following conditions: Condition 1 - One or more 

obstacles were knocked down during the first run. These penalties will be carried to 

the second run. However, the penalties attained in the second run will be used for the 

event if the penalties earned in the second run are equal to or greater than the penalties 

earned in the first run. Condition 2 - An obstacle was not knocked down in the first 

run. If an obstacle is knocked down during the second run, the rider will be given the 

option of a third run and the penalties of the second run are not carried over to the 

third run. The time, including penalties, of the third run will then be used as the final 

time. 

As always, if you have any questions about rules or anything I have written in the 

judges corner - Please feel free to contact me.

Family Team Award 

CGA is a Family organization and in recognition of the many families 

that ride together in CGA we offer a Family Team Award available to all 

riders regardless of ability. 

The Family Team Award is 60 days retroactive from the date of the 

postmarked application or the show date if applicable. The $120.00 fee per 

rider includes the Year End Award Level 1, Silver Buckle, Silver Breast 

Collar Set. For an additional $20 the applicant can include both Level 1 & 2 

Year End Awards. 

The Family Team Award is a Special Jacket for each team member 

embroidered with the riders first name and rating division on the front. The 

back of the jacket will have a barrel racer figure (male or female) and the last 

name of the "family" above the words "Family Team Member". All jackets 

within a "family" must use the same last name. Teams may consist of 

parents, children, grandchildren, cousins, aunts, uncles, or any other relatives 

so long as the last name is the same. 

All riders on a "team" must earn at least a FC rating in order to qualify 

for the jacket. That means that all the riders on the team must complete at 

least 3 good rides in at least 4 events to qualify for the Family Team award. 

Each team member's jacket will reflect their own rating level and each 

member will receive their own rating level for the year end award that is 

included in the $120.00 fee. 

This is a great way for the entire family to participate and work 

towards an award that they can wear with pride. 

Sign up today so that your family doesn't lose any rides. This is a fun 

award to earn and a great way to enjoy gymkhana with your family. 

Ride for Fun in CGA!

Explanation of 5-D Jackpots 

For All CGA State Sponsored Shows 

Note: District’s may alter all the Jackpot options as they choose for local shows running jackpots or 

Mystery jackpots 

Riders may optionally enter a jackpot for any or all of the regular events. The cost is an additional $5.00 

per event, and a rider may choose to enter the Jackpot for none, some, or all of the regular events. These 

jackpots are unrelated to the rider’s division or age, and whether or not they are riding a horse or a pony. 

They are based strictly on the time the rider achieves in that event. Only the times of the Riders entering 

the Jackpots count. The size of the payout is determined by the number of riders in the jackpot. The 

Payout is: 

Fastest ride - 40 % of the jackpot 

2-D ride - 30 % of the jackpot 




CGA - None. All jackpot money is paid back to the riders. 

2-D, 3-D, 4-D and 5-D rides are those that come the closest (without going faster) to the fastest time 

of those entering the jackpot +(plus) the adjustment factor for that event. The adjustment factors are 

listed below. 

Event 2-D Adjustment 3-D Adjustment 4-D Adjust. 5-D Adjust. 

BAR + 1.380 + 2.761 + 4.141 + 5.521 

BR + 1.120 + 2.241 + 3.361 + 4.481 

F8F + 3.130 + 6.260 + 9.391 + 12.521 

F8S + 0.820 + 1.640 + 2.461 + 3.281 

HS + 1.564 + 3.127 + 4.691 + 6.255 

KH + 1.317 + 2.634 + 3.951 + 5.268 

P1 + 1.534 + 3.067 + 4.601 + 6.135 

P2 + 2.367 + 4.734 + 7.101 + 9.468 

QR + 1.587 + 3.174 + 4.761 + 6.348 

SBL + 1.204 + 2.407 + 3.611 + 4.815 

SBR + 0.814 + 1.627 + 2.441 + 3.255 

SSR + 0.544 + 1.087 + 1.631 + 2.175 

BT + 2.035 + 4.070 + 6.105 + 8.140 

For example, if the fastest ride in Poles I was 10.990 seconds, and the jackpot was $400.00, then that 

rider would receive $160.00. The rider closest to the 2-D time of 12.524 (10.990 + 1.534) without 

going faster would receive $120.00. The rider closest to the 3-D time of 14.057 (10.990 + 3.067) 

without going faster would receive $40.00. The rider closest to the 4-D time of 15.591 (10.990 + 

4.601) without going faster would receive $40.00. The rider closest to the 5-D time of 17.125 (10.990 

+ 6.135) without going faster would receive $40.00.
