Offspring of all stallions who have a service sold in the auction will become eligible for the 2020 Beehive Futurity. Proceeds from the sale of services will go towards added money for the 220 futurity.

''Our growth over the last several years has really earned some great added money for our Beehive Futurity and we are hoping we can even do better this year,'' Hullinger added.

In addition, Hullinger reported that 2015 foals by last year's #2 second crop sire One Sweet Jess are eligible to enter the 2017 Beehive Futurity. Nominations for the race are due January 15th.
