Kryptoniite has $60,000 locked up before he runs a step in the Solo Select Futurity heading short round.
The Metallic Cattack son is the only Sire Pot horse among the 15 finalists, so he collects the first-place Sire Pot check wherever he places Thursday night at Circle T Arena in Hamilton, Texas. If Trevor Brazile wins the short round on him, the stallion takes home $120,403.
Everyone else is roping for the Main Pot, which pays $60,403 to win and five places deep. Sire Pot money no finalist could claim, $70,800, rolled into it and brought the Open Main Pot to $209,600.
The finals are a clean slate. All 15 horses start from zero after a 6 p.m. Calcutta.
Three head
BR Leave A Tip was the high horse on three head with 904.23, the only total over 900. Kaleb Driggers marked 299.17 on the gray gelding in Round 3 after scores of 303.16 and 301.90.
Driggers qualified four of the 15. Time For Play is second on three head at 898.71, Ninety Seven Chevy ninth and Frenchmans Buddy 11th. Brazile has two, Kryptoniite and Relentless Again, and so does Logan Vander Hamm, with Poco Bamacat and Taabe.
Billie Jack Saebens, who won the 2025 heading on Una Furiosa for $102,500, is back on DF Stolen Documents. A non-Sire Pot champion this year wins $60,403.
Round 3 Winner Her Sixes Blazin
Her Sixes Blazin marked the high score of Round 3, a 302.81 for Justin Johnson, and still missed the Open short round.
The mare by Blazin Jetolena came into the round 24th with 568.55. The round win moved her to 871.36 on three head, 0.61 point behind Taabe for the 15th and last spot. Shane Phifer bred her and owns her with Angela Phifer.
