I dont know any thing about Thames competive spirit but these are the FACTS for the WBR Glen Rose Race. If the winner of the race enters all of the Incentives the total entry fee will be $195. The winner will receive $4,000 cash, Gist Bracelet, $3200 Game Ready System, $300 to $600 cash in the Age Incentive, $500 Entry Fees to the WBR Finals, An free entry into the Big Bucks Race where 4 people will win $5000 out of a total of 24 runners, and the winning horse will get a free double stall and 6 bags of shavings at the WBR finals.Also the winner will have a 1 in 10 chance to win a $5000 GRAND PRIZE. If that doesnt get your spirit up I think you need new medication. Lets say, in the last 90 days what jackpots have you been to where the winner could win so much with a $195 entry fees?
