no prob
here you have to run a qualifing trials to run over one of two distances 325 or 525 yards your time in this run puts you in a grade for good reasons you want a slow qualifing run say a8 and will have four to six weeks before your first run so what some do is qualify them once pull the card go back a few weeks later and qualify again over the other distance then race them our grades go from a10(slowest) to ao (open class)
our maidens as you call them are n1 n2 n3 but we dont have many of those

as a dog can have run say 3/4 or more 525 s but would go into a novice 550 650 750 but in his grade

here three dogs run in a qualifing trial all three could qualify and all three would go forward to racing as long as you run better than a 31.00 525 trial
