Kathaleen...I pretty much agree with you about the club having far more important problems than futurity rules, but the reason I brought the issue up is because folks are concerned about small entries at Futurities and high handling fees...let me explain it this way..I believe that If the litter is nominated I should be able to enter the maturity regardless of whether I entered the futurity or not...its not the money, its the principle...Ed ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
