Ruidoso Downs contributes \u201cadded money\u201d to start the race\u2019s purse, and then horse owners make payments to keep their young horses eligible. Many of these payments are made before the horse ever starts in a race.<\/p>\n<p>This system made the All American Futurity the world\u2019s first $1-million race for any breed of horse and enabled the All American to become the first $2-million race in Quarter Horse racing.
