Kenny Platt, who won the $15,000 Novice earlier in the show, topped the qualifying round in the Open division Friday at the 6666 Ranch NCHA Western National Championships in Denver.<\/p>\n

In the Open, he marked 222 on Bea Pure Cat, owned by Jill and William Roth of Lockwood, California. Twenty-one horses scored 215.5 or better to advance to Sunday’s Open finals.<\/p>\n

Bred by Jim Crawford, Bea Pure Cat is by High Brow Cat out of Mae Bea Marie. The 7-year-old gelding is a full brother to NCHA Futurity champion He Bea Cat. Bea Pure Cat has won more than $77,000, including the 5\/6-year-old Unlimited Amateur with Jill Roth at last year’s Pacific Coast Futurity.<\/p>\n

Two horses tied at 219 for the second high score of the Open qualifying round.<\/p>\n

They were Huntin Time, by One Time Pepto, ridden by Scott Martin for Sandra Figge of Ketchum, Idaho; and Ichi Sangria, by Cat Ichi ridden by Guy Woods for EE Ranches of Whitesboro, Texas.<\/p>\n

Also on Friday, Dalton Laekea Vicar led the first round of the $2,000 Limited Rider class, riding Gerald Dorros’ Cat In White Nikes.<\/p>\n

Bred by Robert Ballard, Cat In White Nikes is by High Brow Cat out of $95,000 earner Smart Little Nike. The 11-year-old mare was a three-time Western Nationals finalist with previous owners\u00c2\u00a0 Theresa and Gerald Gillock, and was a $2,000 Limited Rider finalist last year with Gerald Dorros.<\/p>\n

There were 18 contestants who scored 210 or better to move on to Monday’s finals.<\/p>\n
