The Texas Thoroughbred Association sponsors stakes races throughout the year in the Lone Star State, including the Clarence Scharbauer Jr. Texas Stallion Stakes Series (TSSS), a set of races progeny of nominated Texas-based stallions, and the Texas Thoroughbred Futurity, which offers two divisions in the spring for graduates of the Texas 2-Year-Old In-Training Sale and all Accredited Texas-bred horses.
The Texas Stallion Stakes Series features three sets of races, each split into two divisions (colts/geldings and fillies) for a purse of $65,000 per division. Each division has been named after a great Texas horse of the past.
The TSSS schedule kicks off each fall at Retama Park with 2-year-olds going 6 furlongs. The series moves on to Sam Houston Race Park in the winter with 3-year-olds going 6 furlongs. The series concludes during the spring meet at Lone Star Park with 3-year-olds going 1 mile.
Only progeny of nominated Texas stallions are eligible to be nominated to the TSSS, but the foals may be foaled outside of Texas.
Stallions can be nominated to the TSSS with a payment of their advertised stud fee or $1,500, whichever amount is greater.
