Chrome Cash was flowing at the 2025 NCHA Super Stakes, where more than $255,000 was paid out to high-scoring Paints in 17 class categories. The event took place March 19–April 14, 2025, in Fort Worth, Texas.

Von Spartacus was a multiple-division winner at the Super Stakes. He won the 5- or 6-Year-Old Intermediate Open Chrome Cash with Jose Cruz (pictured above) and the 5- or 6-Year-Old Amateur Chrome Cash with Emilee Radford, pocketing $7,870 in exclusive Paint-only payouts.
