What is it?
We are introducing a new innovative program that is driven by the basics of The Limited Breeders Auction. This program is designed to promote showing and marketing of Three year Olds by offering a unique opportunity to win substantial prize money with a horse sired by a sold Stallion at our Limited Breeders Auction which is held in January of each year. This class(s) is separate from the Futurity and horses showing are not required to be Futurity nominated.
How does it work?
When a Stallion service is sold at our Limited Breeders Auction any offspring from that Stallion is eligible for nomination to our Three Year Old Class. Eligibility is made through a one time nomination fee. The Stallion service buyer and Stallion donor nomination fee will be at a reduced fee. Example- A Stallion service is sold at the 2009 auction. Any mare bred to that Stallion in 2009 qualifies her foal by making a one time payment as a weanling by December 31, 2010 or at a larger one time nomination fee either as a yearling, two year old or three year old. The nominated colt shows in the 2013 Wisconsin Futurity Three Year Old Incentive Class(s) for a large purse. There is no limit to the number of offspring that may be nominated by each eligible Stallion
Nomination/Eligibility Process:
Nominations forms for 2008, 2009 and 2010 foals can be downloaded in our "Forms"section.
The Stallion service must have been sold at the Breeders auction for any offspring to qualify. The following nomination dates and fees apply to all offspring from the sold Stallion:
One time nomination fee -Weanling @ $300 by 12/31. Stallion service buyer and Stallion donor fee is $200
One time post nomination fee - Yearling @ $600 by 12/31. Stallion service buyer and Stallion donor fee is $400
One time post nomination fee -Two year old @ $900 by 12/31. Stallion service buyer and Stallion donor fee is $600
One time post nomination fee -Three year old @ $1800 by 4/15. Stallion service buyer and Stallion donor fee is $1000
Prize Money
If the total purse is $10,000 or less, there will be only one class. If the total purse exceeds $10,000 there will be two classes (see details in next paragraph). The total nomination fees accumulated from the above nominations will be paid out in its entirety in the Three Year Old class(s). Accordingly, one half of the prize money will be paid to the nominator of the eligible horse and one half of the prize money paid to the owner of the eligible horse at the time of show entry deadline
Prize Money - If Purse is $10,000 or less
One Class - Park Pleasure
Payout to 6 places, as follows:
- 1st place 30%
- 2nd place 25%
- 3rd place 20%
- 4th place 15%
- 5th place 5%
- 6th place 5%
If Purse exceeds $10,000, there will be two classes - Park Pleasure and Five Gaited. Payout to 4 places in each class. If no entries in one of the above classes, total prize money is allocated to class with entries. If a class has only one entry, that entry wins only first place money and the remaining money is divided evenly among the remaining money winners in all classes. In each class, total purse is divided 40%; 40%.
The remaining 20% goes to the "Best of Show", meaning the judges pick the best horse of the two classes. Horse returns on Saturday night to receive the Grand Champion ribbon, trophy and the remaining 20% of total purse in prize money.
In each class:
- 1st place receives 40%
- 2nd place 30%
- 3rd place 20%
- 4th place 10%
* The class(s) will be held at the Wisconsin Futurity Horse Festival
