Cremona, May 20 — Provided by Simona Diale — The stage is set for the history-making edition of the NRHA European Futurity this year where Italy will set another milestone by offering the first million dollar added event in Europe.
Cremona, November 12 — The $254.660-added IRHA/IRHBA/NRHA 3-year-old Open Futurity horses today made their debut in Cremona, Italy, in the first go round of the competition. Held in a two go round format and seeded finals, the pressure was on and at the end of the day, Italian Professional Manuel Cortesi and Frozen Sven — fresh off their win at the NRHA Germany Open Futurity — rode to a 224 to top the $170.622-added Level (L)4 counting 70 entries.
A day full of action once again filled CremonaFiere in Cremona, Italy, as 95 combinations entered across the four levels rode their 4-year-olds vying for a spot in the finals of the $109.140-added Open Futurity.
The late Peter Phinny will be honored by the National Reining Horse Association with the establishment of the Peter Phinny Memorial Leading Futurity Sire Award. This honor will remain a fitting representation of the legacy of this longtime NRHA member and supporter’s contributions to the association and the sport.
The perpetual award will be presented each year, beginning in 2022 at the 6666 Ranch NRHA Derby presented by Markel in June. The Mehl Lawson Bronze which represents the award will remain in the NRHA office in Oklahoma City.
