Way to many horses and runs to keep track of in the cutting futurity! After a couple of 100 entries you gotta feel for the judges having to watch about 600 runs just in the open division. 221 still leads the pack. Close to 180 participants have scored between 210 - 221. 250 horses or there abouts heads to the 2nd round so a 70 run might not get you in, with over 200 horses to go in the 1st round. Lindy Burch's World Champion mare Bet Yer Blue Boons looks to have another star in the making in Bets Cat by High Brow Cat,( thus making her a full sister to Bet Hesa Cat $200.000, Bet Shesa Cat $34.000 and 1/2 sister to Bets CD (CD Olena) $130.000, Bet On Me 498 (Smart Little Lena) $ 105.000 and Bet Yer Boons (Peptoboonsmal)$73.000). She scored a 217.5 in the 1st go with Kenny Miller in the saddle and will be interesting to follow.
Played around with Cat yesterday. I have taken a step back to let her mind catch up with the rest of her. I think we left the walk for about 20 strides in all. Just covering the basics in slow motion and with as subtle cues as possible. She responded well and simmered down some after her initial pawing and fretting about. Let's just say patience is not her stong suit. She travelled decent enough, stopped great, drew and turned just listening to shift of weight and slight move of hand. Will give her more of the same over the next couple of day's before we hit the cowpen again.
