John Mitchell commanded the Tunica 5 & 6-Year-Old Open Cutting on Wednesday with a one-two-three finish on Smooth Asa Zee, Peptos Stylish Miss and Aristo Twister. He also showed Fancy Lookin Cat and Sarahs Super Cat to sixth and seventh place in the 14-horse finals.

Mitchell scored 222 points for his win on Smooth Asa Zee and 219.5 for reserve with Peptos Stylish Miss, and earned a total of $68,042 for all five performances.

Smooth Asa Zee, Peptos Stylish Miss, Fancy Lookin Cat and Sarahs Super Cat are all owned Slate River Ranch, Weatherford, TX. Aristo Twister is owned by Nelson and Suzanne Knight; Nelson is the son of Slate River owner, Glade Knight.

Together, the five horses have earned over $580,000, almost exclusively in open competition under Mitchell, who is back in the saddle in Thursday’s 4-Year-Old Finals riding Slate River’s Pepto N Peppy.
