NCHA Futurity finalist Cats Quixote Jack, ridden by Kory Pounds (pictured), claimed the Bonanza Cutting 4-year-old championship by a wide margin over co-reserve champions CD Peptofilly and Starcat Merada. Owned by for Andy and Karen Beckstein, Uniondale, IN, the High Brow Cat son scored 224.5 points for $25,000. The win boosts his earnings to $70,924.43.<\/p>\n
It was the first major unrestricted title for Pounds, who won the NCHA Super Stakes Limited Open on Double Durn Smart in 2004. He also placed third in the 4-year-old Bonanza in 2004 aboard Haidas Tachita, and earned $63,978 as a finalist in the 2006 NCHA Super Stakes riding A Special Color. In addition to his 22nd-place finish in the NCHA Futurity, Cats Quixote Jack was also a finalist in the 2006 South Point Cutting in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Mark Pearson, Spearman, TX, and Skip Queen, Lipan, TX, shared the Non-Pro 4-year-old championship title with matching 218-point scores in the finals. Pearson rode Clifford Rey, by Dual Rey; Queen, who ranked third among non-pro money earners in 2006, was aboard Dual Badge, by Playboys Badge. Queen also placed sixth on Bronzed Feather, by Cats Red Feather.<\/p>\n
Im Countin Checks, most recently reserve champion of the South Point Cutting, captured the Bonanza 5 & 6-year-old title with 222 points under Matt Gaines. Im Countin Checks was sired by Smart Lil Ricochet, the 13-year-old stallion who was euthanized on February 28, 2007, as the result of a long-standing injury. Im Countin Checks is owned by Tommy Manion, who also owned and bred Smart Lil Ricochet, who was sired by cutting’s all-time leading sire Smart Little Lena. Smart Little Lena, owned by a syndicate that includes Manion, stands at Manion’s ranch in Aubrey, Texas.<\/p>\n
Paula Wood, Stephenville, TX, scored 223 points on Donas Cool Cat to win the 5 & 6-year-old Bonanza Non-Pro. Mary Ann Rapp, Weatherford, Texas, placed second with 222 points on Reytilda and split fourth and fifth on Lil Lena Long Legs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
