These horses were offered through 2016 Congress Super Sale Yearling Stakes session and a sustaining fee of $250 was paid at that time. The OQHA added $500 for each of the sustained horses, creating a purse of $64,500, which will be divided between the Open and Non Pro classes on a pro-rated basis determined by the number of entries in each division at 2:00 pm on Thursday, October 19th. Scratches after that will not change the payout. Eligible horses can be entered until 2:00 pm on Thursday, October 19th, with no late penalty. In addition, OQHA put up another $10,000 to be paid to the top 3 placing Limited Riders in each division. The Limited Rider Purse will be split with $6,000 going to the Open class (1st = $3,000, 2nd = $2,000, 3rd = $1,000) and $4,000 to the Non Pro class (1st – $2,000, 2nd = $1,250, 3rd = $750).
