Veteran Hall of Fame Rider Ronnie Rice teamed up with a horse looking for its first limited age paycheck Saturday for the top score in the first day of Round 2 competition at the Lucas Oil NCHA Super Stakes in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

Rice rode Stephen Bergeron’s homebred gelding, SB Fuzzie Cat, to mark 222, the day’s best score from 84 contestants.<\/p>\n

Clint Allen marked 217.5 on David and Stacie McDavid’s Pharoah And James for the top cumulative score of 438.<\/p>\n

SB Fuzzie Cat is by WR This Cats Smart out of Teles Playin Girl. The 4-year-old gelding’s second dam, Lintons Playgirl, produced earners of $496,000, including Stylish Playlin (LTE $181,525) and Its All Play For Rey ($112,339). Lintons Playgirl is half-sister to $5 million sire Zack T Wood.<\/p>\n

Rice is a three-time NCHA Futurity champion and two-time NCHA Super Stakes reserve champion. His 222 on SB Fuzzie Cat, combined with a first-round 214, made him one of six contestants with a cumulative score of 436 or better.<\/p>\n

Pharoah And James has already earned over $36,000, with a third-place at the Bonanza, and as an Ike Hamilton finalist and NCHA Futurity semi-finalist. The McDavids bred him by their stallion Hickorys Indian Pep out of Wise Little Miss, winner of the Brazos Bash Classic and the Chisholm Trail Fall Roundup.<\/p>\n
