What’s New in 2026

This year’s Derby features a new format: one go round with Finals for all classes, replacing the previous two-go format. The change was made due to cattle cost and availability. The top 25% of entries from the go round advance to Finals, with a minimum of 6 and maximum of 25 finalists per level.

Classes & Divisions

The Derby covers two limited aged groups:

• Derby: 4-year-old horses
• Classic/Challenge: 5- and 6-year-old horses

Within each aged group, there are three divisions — Open, Non-Pro, and Amateur — and each division is split into three levels based on the rider’s NCHA lifetime earnings:

Classes Within Classes

Every Open division includes a Gelding and Novice jackpot class within the class (Novice eligibility: less than $10,000 TLE as of May 1, 2026). Non-Pro and Amateur divisions include Gelding and Senior (age 60+) jackpot divisions. Entry fee for these is $400 + $100 office fee.
