NCHA World Championship Futurity

The NCHA World Championship Futurity (NCHA Futurity), hosted by the National Cutting Horse Association and founded in 1962,[1] is the debut event for 3-year-old cutting horses, and the first jewel in the NCHA Triple Crown, which also includes the annual NCHA Super Stakes held in April, and the NCHA Derby held during the NCHA Summer Cutting Spectacular. The Futurity is held at Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas, which has been the venue for the Futurity since its inaugural event in 1962. The total Futurity purse in 2014 was $3.8 Million. Phil Hanson of Weatherford, Texas riding Classy CD Cat won the Open Championship and $200,000 in prize money plus other prizes that included a custom western saddle, a Jim Reno bronze trophy, boots, a leather recliner, and a gold buckle.[2]
