NEW FABULOUS FURTURITY PROGRAM TO START IN 2007
At the January Membership Meeting in New Orleans the Board of Directors voted their approval of a redesigned Fabulous Futurity Program. This new program allows for more participation from members across the country to compete for a minimum of $60,000 cash divided into three classes. The Fabulous Futurity classes are held at the national show each year for three-year-olds, with one class each for Classic Fino, Pleasure, and Performance with fillies, colts and geldings competing together for prize money currently guaranteed for a total of $20,000 per class split 40% for 1st, 30% for second, and 10% for third.
The new nomination system will make it easier for more people to participate than ever before. Previously, a two-year-old horse would have to be consigned to the Fabulous Futurity Auction held at the national show to be eligible to compete in the next years’ three-year-old Futurity class. While many people were interested in competing for the money, they chose not to participate due to distance from the sale location, or due to the fact that they did not want to sell their horses and didn’t want to go through the auction process just to qualify for the class. Under the new nomination system anyone can participate at a fee that is less overall than what the sale consignment and expenses were in the past five years. To be eligible to compete in the Fabulous Futurity classes, horses must be nominated by their owners as weanlings with additional fees paid each year until the horses show as three-year-olds. The auction for two-year-old futurity prospects will still be held and will be called the Fabulous Futurity Select Sale. The 2007 sale will be open ONLY to horses already nominated into the program. Buyers will know that these horses will be available for purchase and will already be eligible to compete for the money in the 2008 classes. We hope that these changes will bring credibility back to the sale process and make potential buyers excited about bidding in the auction.
When will the new system start:
The new system will start in 2007, with special installment fees to get the 2006 foals (yearlings) and the 2005 foals (two-year-olds) nominated into the system. The 2007 foal crop will be the first foal crop to be nominated into the system under the new fee schedule that was passed. The Fabulous Futurity classes are already set for 2007 based on a Board of Directors guarantee of a total of $20,000 per division. The classes themselves have not changed and will be run like the ones at the 2006 nationals. An owner will have until entries are due for the national show, when the nominated horse is three years old, to declare (enter) the one class in which the nominated horse will compete.
