Jeffrey Gough and Eddie Young (pictured) each scored 217 points on Tuesday, January 13, to tie as co-champions of the Abilene Spectacular Non-Pro Derby. Last year’s Non-Pro Derby champion was Beau Galyean, who later gave up his non-pro status and won the 2008 NCHA Open Futurity and last week’s Abilene Spectacular Derby on Metallic Cat, for Alvin Fults.<\/p>\n

Gough, 32, of Graham, TX, rode Christmas Mate, a gelded son of Smart Mate that he purchased from his father, Ping Gough, also of Graham. Gough’s only other check in limited age competition came as 2005 NCHA Derby Non-Pro Ltd finalist. Ping Gough owned 1993 NCHA Futurity champion Bobs Smokin Joe.<\/p>\n

Eddie Young, 62, San Angelo, TX, was aboard Neat Little Ray, a Dual Rey son that he recently purchased from Mary Ann Rapp, who tied Kelle Earnheart with 216.5 points, the Abilene Non-Pro Derby’s second-highest score. Rapp rode Amanda Starlena, by Smart Little Lena, a mare she raised out of her 2003 NCHA Super Stakes Classic Non-Pro champion Amanda Stargun. Earnheart’s mount was Smooth An Boon, by Smooth As A Cat.<\/p>\n

Young was a non-pro finalist in last year’s Abilene Spectacular Derby on Que Paso Cat, who he showed to place third in the 2007 NCHA Amateur Futurity.<\/p>\n
