ASHA Announces Deadline to Submit Declaration of Intent to Show for 2009 ASR Futurity

Lexington, Kentucky – The deadline to submit a Declaration of Intent to Show for the 2009 American Saddlebred Registry (ASR) Futurity is 2 PM on Sunday, August 23, 2009.

Nominated horses entered to compete in ASR Futurity classes at the 2009 World’s Championship Horse Show (WCHS) must have a signed Declaration of Intent to Show completed and submitted, and the starting fee paid for each entry to the ASR Futurity Secretary, by 2 PM on Sunday, August 23, 2009. Prepayment for declarations may be sent to the ASR office if postmarked or faxed by Wednesday, August 12, 2009.

ASR Futurity representatives will be in the Horse Show Office on Saturday, August 22, and Sunday, August 23 to accept declarations and starting fees. No entry will be allowed to show in any futurity classes unless the declaration has been filed and the fee paid by the deadline. All starting fees will be added to the purse for the appropriate class.

Total prize money awarded in 2008 for the Kentucky, Kentucky Amateur, and National Three-Year-Old Futurities totaled more than $262,000, with the National Three-Year-Old Futurity reaching an all-time high, awarding more than $140,000, the most prize money awarded in over 30 years.
