All American Futurity Ruidoso roulette The All American Futurity, in theory, is exactly like any other American Quarter Horse race run at 440 yards. Simply, 10 horses line up in the starting gate facing 440 yards of dirt track, the bell sounds and the horses sprint the quarter mile. However, it is one of the most challenging races offered to any horse of any breed because it is a daunting challenge to qualify to compete in the race. Competition is fierce at the All American trial races (a record 34 in 2015), where as many as 323 horses (2015) show up wanting the same thing, a chance in the final. Names and reputations mean nothing at this point and even if you paid the $50,000 supplement fee to get your horse in the trials, the only thing that will get the horse in the final is clocking one five-fastest times on each of the two trial days. The finalists are based on time, so a horse may not win, but still record a time that enables the horse to compete in the finals. If that gamble isn’t interesting enough, just deal in Mother Nature. Ruidoso Downs is at a 6,900-foot altitude in the Sacramento Mountains and there can be sudden, dramatic weather changes. A few trial races may be run in perfect conditions and other races may run in the rain or variable wind conditions. It is a challenging game to play, but the level of difficulty adds to the race’s prestige and the “my horse is faster than your horse” spirit that is the foundation of the All American Futurity. It is quite an achievement to be a contestant in the All American Futurity and a win is the goal of every quarter horse owner, trainer and jockey. Trial races The trial races are raced at 440 yards, the futurity distance, over two days. Each trial consists of 10 or fewer horses. The horses with the five-fastest times from each day of trials advance to the All American Futurity. The times of horses in separate trials will be determined by order of finish posted by the racing officials. No adjustments are made in the recorded time for head wind, tail wind or track conditions, etc. If a tie exists, the horses involved shall draw lots to determine which shall participate in the futurity. Eligibility and nominations The race is open to all two-year-olds registered with the American Quarter Horse Association. Nomination fees, sustaining payments and the trial entrance fee must be paid. An owner may nominate multiple horses.
