Go West

All eyes on the westcoast this week and next, as PCCHA Gold Coast Futurity is underway. Most everybody who's anybody is there for the Futurity, Stakes and Classic. Besides the California based trainers like Tim Smith, Russ Westfall and Morgan Cromer, big guns Phil Rapp, Matt Gaines, Lloyd Cox, Clint Allen, Phil Hanson and Grant Setnicka has loaded up the trailers full of hopefuls.

After the Futurity' second go, the final 15 are as follows:

First go of the 5/6 Classic today with a very strong field. Horses like former PCCHA Futurity & Derby winner Flo Like A Cat, Im Catman, recent Southpoint 5/6 winner Peptos Opus Cat, Holly Is Smooth, SDP Al Capoone, Rascal Cats, Fancy Lookin Cat, Intention Del Rey, Little Pepto Cat, Harley and NCHA Non-Pro horse of the year Itawtathenapuddycat.

A Short breather of a couple of day's before NRCHA Derby kicks of in Queen Creek, Arizona on the 27th. The best 4 and 5 year olds square off in either a snafflebit or hackamore. Usually a very competetive deal and surely something to watch on the webcast.

On the homefront the Swedish National Championships takes place this weekend with cowhorse, reining and cutting classes. Have to hold a clinic Saturday so I won't be able to make the trip unfortunately.
