Part of the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) Triple Crown, the Super Stakes annually showcases offspring by the top sires in the cutting horse industry.
All-time leading cutting sire High Brow Cat is the leading sire in NCHA Super Stakes history with more than $7.8 million in progeny earnings at the show (all divisions combined), according to Equi-Stat. Breaking the rankings down by division — the Open, Non-Pro and Amateur — provides a snapshot of which bloodlines shine in more than one area.
The Amateur rankings at the show, which is going on through April 17 at Will Rogers Memorial Center, also provide a look into what bloodlines have been strong in recent years, as the Amateur and Unlimited Amateur are the most recent divisions to be added to the show’s lineup.
