Speedhorse Gold & Silver Cup Barrel Racing, Inc. Purchased by Pat and Robin Hofmann
Norman, OK - "Since the beginning of 2005 I have been taking a hard look at the future of my investment in B.B.R., the Gold & Silver Cup Barrel Futurities, and the current development of the Non Pro futurity trainers division. The conclusion I came to was I needed to own the Speedhorse barrel races myself in order to make the critical decisions necessary for their growth. It was either that, or find another job. Rather than quit and let these barrel races fall by the wayside after so many years invested in building them - my husband and I opted to buy them.
"People who know me, know I have always tried to look at things from the contestants point of view and with great consideration for the welfare/safety of the horses. Our goal is to re-implement the standards these two futurities were initially founded on," stated Robin Hofmann.
Robin Hofmann has been the coordinator and manager of Speedhorse Gold & Silver Cup Barrel Racing, Inc. since their inception in 1998. During that time the events have become two of the primary futurities in the US ranking every year in the top 5 futurities by total purse and attendance. According to Hofmann, Speedhorse will continue to be a title sponsor in the future and provide a vehicle for the other futurity sponsor to receive year-round exposure.
