July 31, August 1-3 2008
The scores are
official and the medal-stand ceremonies are complete - not in China but in St.
Paul, MN where our NCRHA Futurity & Derby Show had a strong turn out and
plenty to celebrate. We enjoyed participants from around the country and were
able to hold our ground on last years entries in decidedly tougher times.
Quality and consistency has always been the goal and we are proud to say the
NCRHA Futurity is a show people can count on year after year. The planning has
already begun for 2009 and we hope everyone had a fun show. Don't forget
to look at the payouts riders received; this is were the NCRHA
Futurity reveals its quiet, yet stunning greatness. Our payouts rival
shows with twice the added money (a tie for 8/9th place in the Open paid a
healthy $892.85)!
FUTURITY
RESULTS: It was a treat to watch two, NRHA million
dollar riders show to the top of their respective divisions!
Congratulations to Shawn Flarida, of Springfield, OH riding Whiz's Chic A Dee
for Arcese Quarter Horses winning the NCRHA Open Futurity title worth $5158.67.
Mandy McCutcheon, of Aubrey, TX took home $3628.94 for her ride on Dolled
Up Gunner, owned by McQuay Stables. They always have quality horses,
demonstrating quality manuvers.
We also
congratulate Intermediate Open Futurity Champion, Bobby Avila and Limited Open
Champion, John Zimmerman on their winning rides. Both these young men
work out of Vaughn Zimmerman's facility in Missouri along side
Interm. Open Res. Champion, Corey Hendrickson. We had some local champions
too. The Intermediate Non Pro title went to Dale Dickey of Pine City,
MN, while Ann Bray of Blaine, MN didn't just earn her
first futurity check - she topped Limited Non Pro! Charlie
Wiederholt placed two of his three head in the Non Pro event as reserve
champion and 4th place finisher in addition to being 1st
and 2nd in the Prime Time.
