The Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association\u2019s second annual yearling show took place at Brandywine Polo Club on June 20. Four classes of PA-Sired and Non-Sired males and fillies competed for a share of $1,000 per class, as well as the overall $1,000 prize for Grand Champion and $500 for Reserve Champion. <\/p>\n
In addition, all participants of the yearling show become automatically eligible for up to $40,000 in incentives during their racing careers. The highest earning 2-year-olds of 2027 and 3-year-olds of 2028, regardless of where the money is won, will take home a share of $20,000 at the end of each year.<\/p>\n
The top two finishers from each class advanced to the final championship round. Best Turned Out prizes were also awarded in each class. This year\u2019s show was judged by Rick Abbott, who recently received PHBA\u2019s Lifetime Achievement Award. <\/p>\n
