Chery Creek Futurity Trials

2026 Quarter Horse Stakes

Mid-June introduces one of the most important stretches of the season with trials for both the Cherry Creek Futurity and the Lucile Rowe Derby. These races highlight Colorado-bred talent, with two-year-olds competing in the futurity and three-year-olds in the derby.

Finals for both events take place on July 5, making it one of the standout race days of the summer as top qualifiers return to compete for significant purses and recognition.
