The cutting world is focused on Tulsa, Okla this week and one of the sport’s richest events, the Breeder’s Invitational<\/a>, which concludes on Saturday, May 25 with the Open and Non-Pro Derby Finals.<\/p>\n

Last week’s 5 & 6-year old Classic\/Challenge competition saw Sly Playgirl and Jaime Snider claim their second consecutive Breeder’s Invitational title for owner Luis De Armas, who also rides the 6-year-old mare in non-pro competition. Bred by Glade Knight’s Slate River Ranch, owner of her late sire, That Sly Cat, Sly Playgirl won $22,826 and has career earnings of $312,000.<\/p>\n

Thundercat, shown by Wesley Galyean for Steven Feiner, was Open reserve champion; Galyean also tied for sixth on High Classed Hottie, owned by Norda Burger<\/p>\n

Last week’s biggest surprise, however, came on Saturday, May 18. The same day that Oxbow upset Kentucky Derby winner Orb in Maryland’s Preakness Stakes, I C Hi Stars and Francisco Sigala upset a 27-horse finals field in Tulsa to win the Breeder’s Invitational Non-Pro Classic\/Challenge, with 220 points.<\/p>\n

Although Francisco Sigala, 25, has a Texas Futurity title and three major reserve championships on record, this was I C Hi Star’s limited age event competition debut. The Cat Ichi daughter, who Sigala purchased last November, had previously been shown at weekend events and came to the Breeder’s Invitational with a career total of $3,138. Woodys Wildest Cat, the reserve champion with Mandy Chisum, came to Tulsa with NCHA earnings of $211,616 and also won the Classic\/Challenge Ltd Non-Pro.<\/p>\n

Payouts for the Breeder’s Invitational Non-Pro Classic\/Challenge champion and reserve champion were $15,346 and $12,533, respectively.<\/p>\n

High Classed Hottie and Norda Berger won the Classic\/Challenge Amateur championship, with Amanda Purdin reserve riding Divas On Time, while William Cook and Sho is claimed the Derby Amateur title.<\/p>\n
