Both classes will be held in the Performance Arena. The deadline to enter either stakes class is 5 p.m. the night before each class, and the cost to enter is $250 each, with 75 percent of entry fees (plus added money) as payout. Entry forms are available in the Competitor Resources section of www.aqha.com/worldshow.
