Are you kidding???? NRHA is going the opposite direction. With the new rull about having to pay up the babies to be able to show in the NRHA futurity and Derby they are only adding presure to the breeders, owners, and trainers to get these horses ready for the futurity. When they added the Derby for 6yo they gave owners and trainers an extra year and if the horse was not ready for the futurity they could hold back and have 3 years in the Derby but by adding this stipulation they are taking a BIG step backwards. Now you can not show in the NRHA futurity or Derby if your horse was not paid up as a foal. This is adding more money invested into a foal so adds more presure to get them into the pen.
