“I’ve wanted that gold buckle for a long time,” said Paula Wood, after her 220-point winning performance in the NCHA Non-Pro Futurity Thursday on Donas Suen Boon, by Boon Too Suen.<\/p>\n

Greg Coalson and Mia Browbeater scored 219 points for the reserve championship.<\/p>\n

Wood won the 2005 NCHA Non-Pro Super Stakes on Chita Cash Cat, and the 1997 NCHA Non-Pro Derby on Chita Cash, and was also 1993 NCHA Non-Pro World Champion. But the Futurity championship had eluded her, until last night.<\/p>\n

“It’s just a dream come true, that’s all,” said Wood. “A lot of times, when you come to the Futurity, you don’t have that kind of a horse, so you have to cut really careful and smart.<\/p>\n

“So when you come to the Futurity on a horse like this, it’s ten times the pressure.”<\/p>\n

Kobie Wood trained Donas Suen Boon, as well as her sire, Boon Too Suen; her dam, Donas Cool Cat; and Meradas Little Sue, three-times NCHA Open World Champion, and dam of Boon Too Suen.<\/p>\n

“She’s got her mama’s read and her daddy’s reach, and the way she comes through there is like her daddy,” said Kobie of Donas Suen Boon. “And she stops a lot like her mama, and has all that of Meradas Little Sue.”<\/p>\n

Reserve champion Greg Coalson was also reserve champion of the 1999 NCHA Non-Pro Futurity on Quejanapep, LTE $202,060, half-brother to Mia Browbeater, by High Brow Cat. Quejanaisalena, LTE $329,571, a half-brother by Smart Little Lena to Mia Browbeater, was another homegrown star raised and shown by Coalson.<\/p>\n

Amateur champions<\/h3>\n

Destini Benson, Hillsborough, NJ, hit the jackpot with her first time to show in Fort Worth and a 217-points NCHA Amateur Futurity win.<\/p>\n

“My horse was consistent, so he handled the bad cows really well,” said Benson of Jimmy Cracked Corn, by Widows Freckles<\/p>\n

Luke Barnhart and Hal Of A Mate claimed reserve with 216.5 points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
