Payouts are as follows:
Gold Champion – $35,000
Silver Champion – $20,000

In order to receive prize money payouts, horses must compete and be judged in the Finals. The winning horse owners must send the Breeding Pays Futurity a completed W9 form within 60 days of the completion of the show. If the W9 form is not received within that time, no payout will be issued.
