From Cowhorse to Cutting

Today we jump from Idaho to Ft Worth, and from Cowhorse action to Cutting, as the NCHA Super Stakes kicked off with the 1st go Classic yesterday. Pounce (High Brow Cat) and Phil Hanson took a comanding lead scoring a 222. Hansons other star, Horse of The Year, LHR Smooth Jamie May, had a rough 1st go and lost a cow right before the buzzer. Fiesta Zack (Zack T Wood) and Casey Morris in second with a 221 and Play On Lizzy & Matt Budge third with a 220,5. 4th and split 5th after yeaterdays action are two CD Lights horses, A Little Bossy and Willys The Boss marking 119,5 and 119 respectively. I really like the CD Lights horses! They show style, heart and determination and have also done very well in cowhorse events. CD Dee Vee Dee went on a winning spree in 2009-10 and won just about every cowhorse event out there. That CD Rocks won his share too.

CD Lights or "Boss" won $234.000 and was the 2006 World Champion and also former Futurity finalist, Brazos, SunCoast and Bonanza Champion. And no High Brow Cat, Dual Rey or Peptoboonsmal as far as the eye can see on his papers, wich to me is refreshing! Hes out of Futurity & Derby Champ CD Olena and 1997 Derby Champion Delight of My Life. Both parents and Boss were trained by Winston Hansma by the way.

Back in action today, as the 1st go continues, with standouts Third Cutting, Reys Desire, Rockin W, Smoother Than A Cat, Smooth As Zee, Boon To Suen etc.
