A Horse Sporting Event Like We’ve Never Seen! Life After the Futurity is Here
The 100X Reining Classic made a lot of claims before the event. They stepped up and delivered, even exceeding expectations. The 100X producers and staff proved that different is better.
This wasn’t a horse show, it was an event. With 1,700 horses competing for $3 million in purse money spread over 9 days and distributed deeper across the competition, they are showing the reining world what the future of this industry looks like.
We can’t cover this event in one episode, we’ll have two more coming this month. Today’s episode is an overview of the 100X Reining. We look at the impact of this type of event on the industry and watch a couple of the winning runs.
The Show Rundown
The Numbers are In
- 172 in the 100X open Futurity - took 2 days
- 138 in 100x Stakes [4 yr olds only] - 2 days for qualifying go round and
- 92 in 100X Invitational Futurity
- 130 in the NARS Derby - 4-7 yr olds to close the event out!!
Winning Runs
- 007 & Gabriel Borges
- Xtra Wimp It Good & Fernando Salgado
- Pale Face Blazin & Edouard Winne
Change is Coming
- Is it time for an independent judges system?
- Can A non-profit organization, run by and for political influence, train and manage officials at this level?
- Where do weekend horse shows fit in? Should they be separate from Aged Events?
- 100X isn’t waiting for an organization to lead, they are moving the industry forward
Big Impact of this Event
- Changing the way we view Futurity horses, 4yr Old horses, and Aged horses.
- Creating room to let horse develop over time
- No more of the Futurity being the end of major event careers
- Outside the box thinking was incredible and created excitement at all levels
- Elevated production teams are leading the way
- Breeders programs seem to be creating a “self-handicap” that opens the trail for more riders to compete and succeed.
- The “unspoken 80:20 purse money rule” is on it’s way out
(100X Stakes L1 winner was paid double what the L1 Derby winner was paid)
Coming Soon
Two more shows on 100X. We’ll go into the analysis of competition on the 100X Stakes and the NARS Open Derby.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
