Lexi Nelms and Miss

who were the first two people I saw in center ring tonight
???? Mr. Charles Tisher and Larry Martin!!!! Both
gentlemen were there to witnesses the Maiden as they
had heard so much about this special class for untried
two year olds! Bring ‘em on!!!!!!
A few things different about the Maiden class are: first
through 10th will each receive two ribbons, one for the
exhibitor and one for the owner. The Maiden reserve
Champion will receive $3375, a belt buckle and a cooler.
The Maiden Champion will receive $5000, a Trophy Belt
Buckle for the trainer, Wire Works from Rod Cleveland,
absolutely gorgeous Crystal Owners Trophy, a gift certificate
for a Pelican Tail, Custom made saddle pad from
Lux Looks, a gift certificate for a bag of Purina Out Last
and a bag of MannaPro Max E Glo Rice Brand.
The horses enter the ring one by one to thunderous
applause as each person declares their favorite, from
high number to low number. Once all the entries are on
the rail, the riders find their positions and the show is
on. And what a show it was! The audience is loud with
applause for their favorite. Folks, all these two year olds
looks so good making it a tough decision. All of the
judges were in complete agreement that this was the best
class of two year olds EVER assembled!! And the winner
is a unanimous decision of the judges and most of
the crowd, Jose’s A Twist of Gin, shown expertly by the
young, talented, professional BJ Richards. BJ and Twist
put on a show as they got their spot on the rail when
they came in and never gave it up. B J kept his position
on the rail —— out of everyone’s way —-and showed
his horse expertly. It was a performance that won’t soon
be duplicated. A Twist Of Gin is NOW proudly owned
by Patti Pollack. Patti is in California due the the dang
COVID 19 and we surely are missing Patti and Sherry!
Congratulations on the purchase of this fantastic young
horse.
The entire night was filled with excitement and good
horses. The quantity was not as good as the previous
two nights but the quality made up for the fewer number
of horses. Don’t misunderstand me, there were
horses in every class just not 10 to 20 for each class. We
were thrilled with the number that came through the
gates and hope it continues tomorrow. Laid down about
12:38.
DAY 4
Dragging around a little bit this morning, guess I am
feeling the effects of excitement and long nights. When
I get in the bed I’m still tieing the horses and thinking
how good they were before I can drift off to never never
land.
