The Canadian Barrel Futurity organization is working to promote a greater number of long-standing Futurities & Derbies; this will provide trainers and barrel racers with quality events to compete at making it more worthwhile to prepare their young horses for competition.
Effort continues to be made to encourage significant added money in both Futurity and Derby competition. As well as the individual purses/awards each event offers, contestants vie for overall Futurity & Derby High Point Awards. Added money re. the various events is posted on this website in good faith, but Canadian Barrel Futurities is not in a legal position to guarantee event payouts. |
