You can’t wager on cutting events, but if you could, Lynnies Cat would have been a good pick for the exotics in the Memphis Open Classic on Thursday night.<\/p>\nYou can’t wager on cutting events, but if you could, Lynnies Cat would have been a good pick for the exotics in the Memphis Open Classic on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Ridden by Tag Rice (pictured) for Sam Good, Mansfield, TX, the 6-year-old gelded son of High Brow Cat scored 225 points to claim his second major win in a limited age event. Red Money Merada, ridden by Austin Shepard for Khader and Dora Daoud, Baker, FL, was second with 222 points.<\/p>\n
Lynnies Cat earned his first big check, when he placed 10th under Good in the 2005 NCHA Super Stakes. He had also been a finalist in the Augusta Futurity, placed 4th in the Super Stakes Gelding Finals, and was 3rd in the Brazos Bash.<\/p>\n
At five, he was reserve champion in both the Open and Non-Pro divisions of the Abilene Spectacular; won the Non-Pro Breeders Invitational; and was Brazos Bash Non-Pro reserve champion. He also won money under Good, Rice and Eddie Flynn as a finalist in other events. But the Memphis Classic win gave Lynnies Cat his single biggest paycheck – $20,206 – to boost his lifetime earnings to $148,181.<\/p>\n
Lynnies Cat came into Memphis off of an 18th-place finish in the Abilene Spectacular Open with Rice. He drew late in the Memphis Classic, as the 31st horse in the 33-horse finals, with Red Money Merada’s 222-point score to beat. Major money earner and Abilene Spectacular winner Quintan Blue, ridden by Roger Wagner, had scored 212 points immediately before Lynnies Cat’s run; Lynx Of Style, with 219.5 points under John Mitchell, stood at reserve with 219.5 points.<\/p>\n
The top four marks of the night included the 217.5-point scores earned by Cat T Masterson, ridden by Tag Rice for Jack and Susan Waggoner, and Credible Cat, with Phil Hanson for Lazy H Ranch of Thorp.<\/p>\n
Woody Be Tuff, recent winner of the Augusta Open Classic, placed 11th with 215.5 points under Austin Shepard.<\/p>\n
