Cricket Bars Futurity History

Cricket Bars, 1964 stallion by the Three Bars’ son CASBAR out of CAREYS CRICKET

The Oklahoma Futurity was first run in 1964, at Ross Downs in Ada, Oklahoma, as the first official Appaloosa Futurity. Although it is no longer in existence, other races have been created through the OAR that are ran today such as the Cricket Bars Futurity, with the 57th race running in 2024. The OAR has hosted the some of the largest purses offered in Appaloosa racing history. Since the beginning, many Hall of Fame inductees (horses and people) have been associated with Oklahoma Appaloosa Racing Association. If you have a two year old runner, there is plenty to run at especially in Oklahoma.

Three pari-mutuel race tracks in Oklahoma offer races for Appaloosa horses daily during their racing meets. Added money for Oklahoma futurities is holding steady as are the overnight purses.

Congratulations to Chief Iron Eagle, 2024 Cricket Bars Futurity winner! Chief Iron Eagle ran 400 yds in 20.191s earning an SI 85. Owned by JJ Robles, winning trainer Luis Villafranco, winning jockey Mario Delgado.
