Wisconsin Futurity Introduces New 3-Year-Old Class

The Wisconsin Futurity is introducing a new innovative program driven by the basics of The Dr. Rick Luft Limited Breeders' Stake of Wisconsin Auction. This program is designed to promote showing and marketing of 3-Year-Olds by offering a unique opportunity to win substantial prize money with any horse sired by a sold Stallion at Wisconsin Limited Breeders Auction. This new 3-Year-Old class(s) is separate from the Wisconsin Open Futurity and Dr. Rick Luft Limited Breeders Stake thus horses showing are not required to be Futurity nominated.

When a stallion service is sold at Wisconsin Limited Breeders Auction any offspring from that stallion is eligible for nomination to our 3-Year-Old Incentive Class. Eligibility is made through a one-time nomination payment. The stallion service buyer and stallion donor nomination payment will be at a reduced rate. For example, a stallion service is sold at the 2008 auction. Any mare bred to that Stallion in 2008 qualifies her foal by making a one-time payment as a weanling by December 31, 2009 or at a larger one-time nomination fee either as a yearling, 2-year-old or 3-year-old. The nominated colt shows in the 2012 Wisconsin Futurity 3-Year-Old Incentive Class(s) for a large purse. There is no limit to the number of offspring that may be nominated by from each eligible stallion.

For more information regarding the nomination and eligibility process, prize money, payment information, forms, and other details visit the website at www.wisconsinsaddlebred.com
