Why are race and show point values different?
While the money allocated for racing and showing is the same for every KY-bred horse, the pools for showing and racing are not the same because of the variance in the number of horses in each category. During 2006, 615 show horses that were KY-bred earned 122 AQHA Incentive Fund qualifying points. And in 2006, 56 race horses that were KY-bred earned 135 AQHA racing qualifying points. The respective point values simply represent a division of each pool by the total points earned by the horses in that category.
