Hollywood Futurity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hollywood Futurity is an American Grade I race for thoroughbred two-year-olds race horses. Run in December at Hollywood Park, it's the last major race for two-year-olds. The Futurity, which now has a purse valued at $400,000, was for a time the richest horse race in America with a purse of $1,000,000. It's considered to be a prep to the Kentucky Derby.
Six Hollywood Futurity winners have gone on to win the Kentucky Derby.
Captain Steve won this race in 1999, Real Quiet in 1997, Afternoon Deelites in 1994, and A.P. Indy in 1991, and Best Pal in 1990.
