High Brow CD claimed a new record with his 222-point, $21,000 win in the Brazos Bash Derby on Thursday, October 2. The victory, his seventh in limited age event competition, ties Little Badger Dulce’s record for highest number of limited age event wins in the first year of competition, and puts High Brow CD in his own realm, as the leading stallion in terms of first-year limited age event wins.

Ridden by Austin Shepard (pictured), for Grace Ranch, Jennings, LA, High Brow CD drew third to work in the first set of the Derby finals. Shepard selected the first cow, then came with cows on the top for his second and third cuts. High Brow CD handled them all with the trademark “take them as they come, good, bad or ugly” approach that has earned him close to $500,000, in less than 10 months of competition.

Peptos Stylish Miss (LTE $104,113), ridden by John Mitchell, and Toni The Tigress (LTE $33,468), with Matt Gaines, split second and third places on 218-point performances. Peptos Stylish Miss, owned by Slate River Ranch, had won the first go-round with 222 points. Mitchell also placed fourth with 217.5 points aboard Slate River’s Sarah’s Super Cat (LTE $103,956).
