A futurity or sales series is a programme of races for which an eligibility fee(s) must be paid for a horse to be entitled to run in races restricted to that programme.
These programmes are usually restricted by age, sex and gait, and can see Standardbreds race for significant stake money.
Given their increased earning potential, futurity and sales series eligible horses are an attractive proposition to race and also for potential buyers.
Remember, potential buyers consider the amount of money the horse is able to race for when deciding how much they are willing to pay for it!
