Enrollment for the 2021 breeding season will result in the 2020 foals and 2021 foals being eligible to participate in the Futurity events. Initially there will be 20 slots available for Stallions to be enrolled into the Futurity. In the event that 20 Stallions are nominated an additional 10 slots will be made available for an annual enrollment fee of $3,500.00 for these 10 slots.

SUMMARY OF PAYOUTS Non-Pro Weanling Fillies and Non-Pro Weanling Colts and Geldings Open Weanling Fillies and Open Colts and Geldings Because the Futurity will be an ApHC sanctions event, drug testing is required by ApHC. Some of these funds in 2021 will be used to fund administration expenses and to pay a part-time assistant to manage the stallion nominations, weanling/yearling nominations, entry fees and day to day operations. Judges will also be paid out of these funds.
