The $350,000 added OKC Futurity is held in the Jim Norick Arena at the State Fair Coliseum in Oklahoma City, Okla. The event kicked off on Tuesday, December 10. The first rounds of the MVP Derby and Futurity Riders Guild Championship Futurity were held on Wednesday, followed by the Slot Race.

Slot Race

There were 50 phenomenal futurity horses entered in the slot race. Rain Bo Dash (Dash Ta Fame x Steele Magnolias x Magnolia Bar Jet) is a 2021 gelding owned by Brittany and Garrett Tonozzi and ridden by Brittany. The duo came out on top of the field, winning $80,000. I was thrilled to see this win for Brittany, who ultimately finished just outside of the top 15, missing an NFR qualification - the other huge event on everyone's radar this week!

The Reserve Champion for $35,000 was the 2021 stallion, HP Hotrod, owned by Charlie Cole and Jason Martin. Ashley Schafer trained and jockeys "Boomer," who has already had a great start to his 2025 futurity season. Also by Dash Ta Fame, the stallion is out of the incredible producer, Rods Last Ladybug, by Sharp Rodney.
