Futurity day one observations

After the first day of competition, 120 entries minus a handful of scratches, a score of 221 leads the pack. Smart And Sweet & Mackie Hursh shares the lead with Jae Bar One Time & Mike Cooper. Jae Bar One Time, a gelding by One Time Pepto-Jae Bars Fancy Cat, sold at the Futurity 2yo sale last year for $19.000. That bid was the 40th highest in the 2yo sale.
We all know the One Time Peptos dominated last years Futurity and his dam Jae Bar Fancy Cat, besides earning a respectable $80.000 beeing Res.Champ in Abileene etc. also is a full sister to King of The Cats $108.000 who has his first crop in the showpen this year, infact Matt Sargood is in 10th place on Kitty Cat Cutie (King of The Cats-Miss Hickory Pep).

All in all, looks like a decent buy so far...

Loooong way to go still. another 5 days of the first go, then the 2nd and surviving that, next comes the semi-finals before a lucky (and good) handful meet in the finals on Dec 10th.

A few entries that caught my eye yesterday, Lach Down (Chula Dual-Oh Cay Shorty), this brother to Oh Cay Felix looked really good to me. Correct & stylish and with the right attitude. A 215.5 with room for more in the 2nd go. Another one was Pepto Royal 008, a Peptoboonsmal out of Clarks Royal. Bred by James Eakin of the Bar E Ranch. Great mover with just enough style to him. Sidenote; A great looking brother by High Brow CD sells at the Fut sales: High Brow Clark 10.

Gotta run, got a couple of tons of hay coming....
