Jessica Gonsalves on Poundcake Deluxe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyway you sliced it, Poundcake Deluxe and Jessica Gonsalves were clear cut winners in last night’s NCHA Futurity Limited Non-Pro division, with 221 points.<\/p>\n

Ryder Carpenter and Eddie Montana claimed reserve with 219.5 points; while Christina Cox and Smart Roxie Rey were third with 218 points.<\/p>\n

“I felt like she was probably going to be tired from the first go-round, so I was going to have to use her a lot more,” said Gonsalves, referring to her ride on Poundcake Deluxe in the last set of the Limited Non-Pro Semi-Finals, just a few hours before her draw in the first set of the Finals.<\/p>\n

“But my husband (trainer Gary Gonsalves) got her brightened up for me and she felt really good.<\/p>\n

“I tried to be aggressive on my cuts and felt like since it was the finals, I had nothing to lose. And Christina Cox kind of gave me the oomph to step it up.”<\/p>\n

Cox had scored 218 points four slots before Gonsalves’s ride.<\/p>\n

Sired by Cats Quixote Jack, Poundcake Deluxe is out of Etta Rey, 2012 Open Ltd. reserve champion under Mark Michels, and a gift from Jessica’s mother, Susan Hearst, who had shown the mare’s dam, Solano Sally, producer\u00c2\u00a0 of the earners of $616,914, including Rey Down Sally, with $404,170.<\/p>\n

“We’re pretty excited that we raised her,” said Gonsalves of Poundcake Deluxe. “This is the first one out of Etta Rey that I’ve shown. We also have a full brother that got hurt a week before we came here. But we’ll show him next year – I’m really excited to break him out, too.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
