What are Breeders Purse Classes?

Breeders Purse classes are a cornerstone of the Super Sires program and have been part of our offering since 2019. These classes are exclusive, high‑value competition opportunities funded entirely by stallion enrollment fees. These classes reward the foals of enrolled Super Sires stallions based on the year they were conceived, creating predictable earning potential tied directly to thoughtful breeding decisions.

Who is eligible?

To compete in Breeders Purse classes, a foal must meet two simple requirements:

The foal’s sire must have been enrolled in the Super Sires program during the year the foal was conceived.
The foal must be nominated to the Super Sires program.

This eligibility structure preserves the value of strategic stallion enrollment and gives breeders a protected investment on their breeding decisions. If your foal’s sire was enrolled the year of conception and your foal has not yet been nominated, you can still make them eligible by completing a nomination form before class entry.

How payout works

Unlike other programs that pool entry fees or sponsorship dollars, 100% of the stallion enrollment fees are set aside and allocated directly to Breeders Purse payouts. Every year, the total collected for a given breeding crop is paid back to those participating foals as they reach show age and compete.

This reinvestment model helps ensure that value flows back to the breeders, owners, and exhibitors who are committing to quality bloodlines and consistent showing.
