Cayton Creek Farms Double Down Finals:
We are excited to be bringing back the Double Down Finals! This will be running a little differently than what we previously had at CMSA major events. The Cayton Creek Farms Double Down Finals will run in conjunction with Main Match Stage 5 and it will have $5,000 in added money plus prizes. After entering the Double Down, you will have to qualify in the Top 10 in your division (A, AA, AAA; gender split) from Main Match stages 1-4. Qualifiers will then run at the end of their division in the Main Match Stage 5 Go-Order (unless you are participating in AQHA where you will still run in your normal assigned go-order position). For example, if you are a Ladies 2 who qualifies for the Ladies A Division Double Down, you will run after all the Ladies and Senior Ladies 1s and 2s on stage 5. Think it's an advantage to watch your class on the last stage before you run? Qualify for the Double Down!
