Augusta Futurity 1

Hangem Cat- Wesley Galyean
The 5/6 year old Classics Open first round was pretty thrilling when two of the leading horses the last couple of years went 1-2 in the first goaround. High Brow CD went first in the bunch and had a decent run going until he got long on a cow, got stuck and fell behind resulting in a lost cow. The cuts up to that point hadn´t been as clean and descisive as you´d want but with his style and intencity he was still in it. Rider Austin Shepard left the working area before time expired resulting in a score of 0.

Second to work was Phil Rapp and Don´t Look Twice (High Brow Cat x Tapt Twice x Dual Pep). Last years Augusta Futurity champion worked extremely well and marked a 220 wich put him in the lead until last years Tunica Futurity winner Hangem Cat (High Brow Cat x Hangem High Playboy x Freckles Playboy) was up. Hangem and rider Wesley Galyean didn´t make any mistakes and showed flashes of brilliance scoring 224 to take the lead. Second go is on Tuesday and also making the cut is Tommy Marvin and Peeka Peps Cat. He rarely makes a mistake but is not the flashiest of performers and was awarded the score of 215 by the judges.
