Non-Pro co-champion Armando Costa Neto on Watch Me Whip.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two cutters born outside the USA demonstrated their skill at America’s own horse sport by splitting the Non-Pro win at the Lucas Oil NCHA Super Stakes on Saturday. Brazilian Armando Costa Neto and Austrian-born Nadine Payne both marked 222. The two cutters are also the winners of the past two NCHA Futurities.<\/p>\n

For Armando Costa Neto, the win on Watch Me Whip keeps alive his prospect of becoming the first cutter to sweep the Non-Pro Triple Crown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Watch Me Whip was bred by his family’s Fazenda Barrinha Corporation, by Playgun out of Look The Look, by High Brow Cat. Costa was an NCHA Futurity Non-Pro finalist on Look The Look, and John Mitchell was an Open Futurity finalist on the mare. Look The Look is a granddaughter of $1.6 million producer The Smart Look.<\/p>\n

Costa, an NCHA Hall of Fame Non-Pro, took reserve championships at Arbuckle Mountain and the Cattlemen’s Derby, and was a Bonanza finalist with Watch Me Whip prior to the Super Stakes. Watch Me Whip’s earnings will top $86,000 with her share of the Super Stakes purse.<\/p>\n

Payne rode Velvets Revolver, a gelding bred by Michael Hancock by WR This Cats Smart out of Velvets Best Shot, by Playgun. She was a Limited Non-Pro finalist and Non-Pro semi-finalist on the gelding at the NCHA Futurity. From there she won the Ike Hamilton Futurity, as well as picking up checks at the Abilene Spectacular, and Arbuckle Mountain.<\/p>\n

Velvets Revolver will go over $66,000 in career earnings with his Super Stakes check.<\/p>\n

Payne, whose husband is Hall of Fame Rider James Payne, won the 2014 NCHA Futurity on Great Expectations<\/a>, a daughter of Third Cutting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
