Pot of
Gold Awards: To be
presented to the four 4-year-old Futurity horses who have accumulated the highest numbers of points in designated FUTURITY
classes. All Futurity classes count for points EXCEPT Get of Sire, Produce of Dam, Mare
and Foal, and In-Hand Amateur Maiden Handler. Pot of Gold points are assigned as
follows: For Futurity non-championship classes:
1st = 6 pts; 2nd = 5 pts, 3rd = 4 pts, 4th
= 3 pts, 5th = 2 pts and 6th = 1 pt. For combined-age non-championship
classes, the points for each age group will be assigned separately. For Futurity in-hand championship classes, the Champion
will receive 12 points; the Reserve Champion, 10 points. Any Points earned by nominated horses in their first
or any successive Futurity show will accumulate until their Class “graduates” at the conclusion of the show of
their 4-year-old year. The 4-year-old with the highest number of Points will be named the Futurity Champion of its graduating
class. The “Pot of Gold” (prize money) for the graduating class will then be divided and awarded
as follows: 40% to the Champion, 25% to the Reserve Champion, 20% to Third Place and 15% to Fourth Place.
The “Pot of Gold” for each graduating class is a cumulative total calculated by adding 20% of the futurity nomination
fees and 20% of the designated futurity class entry fees collected each year for the members of that class. To
maintain eligibility to receive a Pot of Gold award, a horse must continue to be nominated, not necessarily shown, every year
through its 4-year-old year.
PLEASE NOTE POT OF GOLD CHANGE: Beginning with this year’s 2-YEAR-OLDS, DOUBLE POINTS
will be assigned for PERFORMANCE classes. Current 3-yr-olds and 4-yr-olds are not affected by this change,
and their points will continue to be assigned as described above.
