Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show Announces New Criteria For The Five Gaited World’s Grand Championship
The Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show was graciously given a donation by Mr. William Blacklaw specifically for use in the World’s Grand Championship Five Gaited class. The interest from this donation, which is estimated to be fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), will be added to the premiums in this class. The following will be the prize money for the class:
First - $30,000?Second - $26,000??Third - $20,000???Fourth – $16,000???Fifth - $16,000???Sixth - $15,000??Seventh – $15,000??Eighth - $14,000??
This year, it is required to declare your intent to show in ALL seven (7) of the World’s Grand Championship on Thursday, August 22. This decision was made by the Advisory Board in order to give trainers time to prepare their entry.
In any of the seven (7) World’s Grand Championship classes if you are not a ribbon winner, the entry fee will not be charged unless you ribbon in the class. If you are a ribbon winner, the winnings may be applied to cover the entry fee. This is also a change to the entering process of the seven (7) World’s Grand Championship classes. We are looking forward to these new changes making “Championship Night” an exciting event for everyone!
