the $2,000.00 Grand Prize.
Each of the 9
qualifiers, or a representative of a qualifier, will have a horse randomly
selected for them by drawing a number from a drum. The number will represent
the post position of the horse. The horse selection will be witnessed by a
Lobster Carnival representative.

horse is first to cross the finish line will win $2,000, the winner whose horse
finishes second will win $500 and the winner whose horse finishes third wins 50
pounds of lobster. If there is a tie between any of the horses, there will be a
draw to decide the placement of the winners.

entries received for the contest and the placement of the horses at the
Governor’s Plate. Runners up will each receive 10 lbs. of lobster from the
Lobster Carnival Committee.
