Matt Miller, Poolville, TX, claimed a doubleheader with wins in both the Brazos Bash Non-Pro Futurity and Derby on Monday, the last day of the 10-day, $185,000-added cutting event in Weatherford, TX. Miller scored 219 points on his NCHA Derby Non-Pro reserve champion Travs Scooter to win the Non-Pro Derby and 218 on Swimmin Dual in the Futurity. He also placed third on Soda Rey Bay in the Non-Pro Derby, where Wes Galyean took reserve with 216 on Shes Icing Onthe Cat.

“This is the first time that I’ve had two that were capable of winning and the first time I’ve had both of them right there together,” said Miller after the NCHA Non-Pro Derby, where he was also a finalist on Travs Scooter. “They’re both really good horses.”

Last month, Miller discovered he had a trio of “good horses,” when he won the West Texas Non-Pro Futurity and 3-year-old gelding division on Swimmin Dual and the Derby on Soda Rey Bay.

Jim Vangilder, Jackson, MO, won the Brazos Bash Non-Pro Classic with 217 on Pet Squirrel, by Playdox. It was Pet Squirrel who carried Vangilder as reserve champion of the Breeders Invitational Non-Pro Classic earlier this year.

Vangilder also rode Bingos Twist, by Freckles Fancy Twist, as reserve champion of the Brazos Bash Non-Pro Futurity.

Theresa Gillock, Las Vegas, NV, won the Amateur Classic with 222 points on Dual Whisper, who, like Swimmin Dual, is sired by Kit Dual. Gillock was also reserve champion of the Amateur Derby on MH My Kinda CD. Jessica McMakin, Sour Lake, TX, won the Amateur Non-Pro Derby on Players Cat, by High Brow Cat.
