    Welcome to the thread for the ECC Derby, a horse race that will be held next Tuesday at 12:00 EST, in my town of Koskela.
    There have been several horse races held on ECC (such as in the Olympics) but there have not been any in the past few months, so I've decided to host the ECC Derby. The course is made up of two fences for horses to jump (which are 1.5 blocks high), a chicane and a finishing straight. Entry costs 5k, which can be paid to me, and a prize pot of at least 10k (dependent on the number of racers) will be given out, with some prizes for second and third place finishers, should there be any.

    If you would like to donate any prizes or compete in this event please post here.

    Runners and Riders:
    SisuJaSalmiakki will ride on his horse Mustajoki (brown with white spots) and has paid the 5k fee.

    This event looks fun in all, but I have a few concerns:
    - There is no established prize yet, so I’m super hesitant at paying 5k on admissions
    - The time is like 6am for me

    Edit: time changed

    Apologies if it looks sketchy - the pot depends on how many people race.

    It will be at least 10k.

    I've also changed the time to 12:00 EST - hope that works.

    If you have a horse and can pay the 5k admission fee then I have no issue with that.
