ADVANTAGES OF A PLAN APART:
+SIMPLICITY-ONE TIME PAYMENT
*This system does not have a
lot of confusing deadlines nor does it require
excessive paperwork for the foal owner or the office
staff at NRHA
+VOLUNTARY, NOT MANDATORY PARTICIPATION
*The regular futurity/derby
and the entry fee structure stays the same as it has
always been and open to any three year olds!
+THIS
PLAN IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE THE FUTURITY/DERBY
PURSES
AND
WILL THEREFORE MAKE ENROLLED FOALS MORE MARKETABLE
*This plan should grow
steadily in popularity and participation as both
nominators and
owners realize the
benefits of it while not being forced on anyone
HYPOTHETICAL PURSES FOR ENROLLED FOALS:
1000
ENROLLED FOALS @ $300= $300,000
1500
ENROLLED FOALS @ $300= $450,000
2000
ENROLLED FOALS @ $300= $600,000

interest
