Shepard scored a double last year with a win in the MillionHeir Derby on San Tule Uno, owned by Mike and Libby Bowman, and in the MillionHeir Classic on MH Quixote Plays, owned by Elizabeth Brumbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>Shepard&#8217;s greatest triumph last year, however, was the 2007 NCHA Futurity win on High Brow CD (he was also an NCHA Futurity finalist on Playware).<\/p>\n<p>In the 52 days from December 16, 2007 and February 5, 2008, Shepard earned $401,000. So far this year, he has ridden an undefeated High Brow CD as champion of the Augusta Futurity and the Tunica Futurity.<\/p>\n<p>The odds are good that someone named Phil will win the 16-horse finals of the South Point Classic\/Challenge, also held on Saturday in Las Vegas. Phil Rapp had the highest go-round score (220) on Autumn Acre and tied with Russ Miller on Kittens for the high cumulative of 436.5. Rapp also qualified Miss Reycine and Tootsie Rey.<\/p>\n<p>Phil Hanson qualified for the finals on four mounts: LHR Smart Time; Sophisticated Catt; Little Silver Belles; and Rey Jay Play. He also qualified BNL Iron Will for the 11-horse finals of the MillionHeir Classic on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin Shepard leads the 11-horse MillionHeir Classic field going into Saturday&#8217;s finals in Las Vegas&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cutting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
