Arosesuchaclatter and Bart Nichols rose to the occasion to win the John Deere Limited Open finals of the Super Stakes with 222 points, despite a late draw and a tricky third cow.
Dual Flames and Chris Johnsrud scored 218.5 points to claim the reserve championship for owner Carol Ward, Rancho Murieta, CA.
Nichols also placed third with 218 points on Rey Boon Lena, by Peptoboonsmal, owned by R.T. Stuart, Waurika, OK.
“That cow kind of rolled away there and came back at us,” said Nichols of the final challenge for Arosesuchaclatter. “It was kind of a tough situation – it was going too fast to flinch – but she knew which cow we’d cut and she handled it good.
“You don’t have to worry about whether she’s going to get to the right spot or not.”
Arosesuchaclatter is owned by Armando Costa Filho, San Paulo, Brazil, who purchased her last October for $200,000, at the Rock Creek Ranch Dispersal Sale in Weatherford, Texas.
The Smooth As A Cat daughter was one of six 3-year-olds trained by Rock Creek’s manager and resident trainer, Roger Wagner.
Following the sale, Wagner went to work for Marvine Ranch (Wagner rides Marvine’s Dual N At Noon, a $190,000 Rock Creek Dispersal purchase, in the Super Stakes Classic Finals on Monday); and Arosesuchaclatter and Bart Nichols, who used to work for Wagner at Rock Creek, pointed toward the NCHA Futurity with Costa.
Arosesuchaclatter earned back nearly half of her cost to Costa in the NCHA Futurity and claimed an historic quadruple as a finalist in the Open Futurity and the Limited Open, under Nichols, and the Non-Pro Futurity and the Non-Pro Limited with Costa.
“Doubing up is a little tough on most horses, but Armando does a really good job of riding her, and it doesn’t affect her,” said Nichols.
“She doesn’t take a lot of working and she’s sound as a dollar.”
Costa also rode Arosesuchaclatter as non-pro reserve champion of the Tunica Futurity and the Cattlemen’s Derby, and placed as a non-pro finlaist in the Abilene Spectacualar and the Bonanza Cutting, as well.
Including her recent win, Arosesuchaclatter has earnings of $170,000. She will also compete in the Super Stakes Open Semi-Finals today, and with Costa Filho in Non-Pro competition, which begins on Tuesday.
