The Canadian Barrel Horse Incentive Super Stakes Stallion Auction is currently underway. It started on February 1st and the auction will close February 28th. It is an exciting auction for stallion owners and mare owners. Last year the total money raised for the 2014 Super Stakes purse was $50,000. With more stallions added to the 2011 auction it will be exciting to see what will be raised for the 2015 Super Stakes purse.
The money raised from this years auction will be the 2015 Super Stakes pot. The Super Stakes race will be held with the CBHI futurity in Thorsby. The Super Stakes horses will run in the CBHI Futurity draw but there will be a separate pot for those horses that have the special Super Stakes eligibility.
There are 3 possible Super Stakes eligible foals per stallion per year. The Super Stakes stud fee auction is the only opportunity for mare owners to obtain a certificate for their own homegrown foal. The other 2 ways to get a Super Stakes foal would be to purchase a weanling or yearling through the sale or a foal from the stallion owners selected “berth”. Each nominated stallion has the opportunity to have a “farm pick” for their designated “certified Super Stakes” foal. All foals in the CBHI sale are CBHI eligible at the time of sale, but not all are Super Stakes eligible.
It is important to note that the CBHI and Super Stakes eligible horses are different. Both would be CBHI money eligible providing the horses stallion is nominated the year the horse is racing. This horse could be of any age running in a CBHI approved event (providing it qualifies for the event itself). Super Stakes eligible horses are those eligible for an ADDITIONAL purse (created from stud fee auction) at the CBHI futurity only. Once they carry a Super Stakes certificate they are always eligible for this special side pot (whether their sire is nominated the year they race in the stakes or not).
