Arapahoe Park's Gold Rush Futurity History

Arapahoe Park announcer Jonathan Horowitz looks at the colorful history of Colorado's richest and most prestigious Thoroughbred horse race, the $100,000 Gold Rush Futurity for 2-year-olds over six furlongs. Colorado has been a springboard for star racehorses beginning their careers, such as Phil D going from racing in Colorado to the Kentucky Derby in 1951, Gold Rush winners Chips All In and Texas Chrome to the Breeders' Cup, and Get Happy Mister becoming the highest-earning Colorado-bred of all time.
