BILLINGS, MONT.- Since their inception, NILE Gold Buckle Horse Futurities have continued to grow in popularity and entries year over year. This year, a 5-Year Old Futurity was added to the lineup of Yearling, Snaffle Bit 2-Year-Old, 3-Year-Old, 4-Year-Old and Midnight Corona Barrel Racing Futurities. 

 To be eligible to compete in the Yearling or Snaffle Bit Two-Year-Old Futurities, all horses must have been purchased through a NILE Gold Buckle Select Horse Sale. For the 3, 4, 5-year-old and Midnight Corona Barrel Racing Futurities, horses are eligible to compete if they have been purchased in a previous year's NILE Gold Buckle Horse Sale or if sired by a nominated stallion. Horses consigned to the current year's Gold Buckle Performance Horse Sale are also eligible to compete in the Five-Year-Old Futurity.  

NILE Futurities are sponsored by AgriBest feeds and Zoetis. The Midnight Corona Barrel Racing Futurity is sponsored by Askin Partners.
