Matt Budge marked 227 on Jackpot Ranch’s Arc Ruby Playgunia to win the Mercuria NCHA World Series at the All American Quarter Horse Congress<\/a> Friday. John Wold took second with a 224 on Furst Ranch’s homebred George C Merada, by Cats Merada.<\/p>\n

Bred by Arcese Quarter Horses, Arc Ruby Playgunia is by Playgun out of Ruby Bagonia, by Peppy San Badger. The 7-year-old mare marked 222.5 in the go-round, the second high score behind George C Merada’s 224, before swapping places with the gelding in the finals.<\/p>\n

The winner’s $9,273 paycheck will take her earnings over $160,000 and move her into third place in the 2013 NCHA World Standings. This is her second Mercuria World Series win this year, following a victory at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, and a second at El Rancho Futurity. In her limited age career, she won the Abilene Spectacular Classic Challenge, and was a finalist in nine other major events.<\/p>\n

Bred by Double Dove Ranch, Pepto Boom is an 8-year-old gelding by Peptoboonsmal out of NCHA Classic Challenge champion Stylish Play Lena, whose offspring passed the million-dollar mark in earnings this year.<\/p>\n

Pepto Boom’s win boosts him over $190,000 in earnings.
