2011 DRHA SUMMER SLIDE CLASSIC DORMINY FUTURITY BH DERBY
If you joined the TEM web cast on Friday night you viewed some exciting reining action from Perry Georiga. With over 1200 hits on the Web Cast it seems like people are getting use to viewing from home. Its a great product that joins riders, trainers, and new people to the sport of reining.
Here are the updates to the Friday nights Dorminy Plantation Futurity.
Its hard to believe that scoring a 144.5 was enough to win the L4O futurity. There was no doubt that the scoring was tight and everyone had to run if placing was in their future. Even with a few penalty points Shawn Flarida rode for Jeffery Stern aboard Rowdys Pistol for a L4O win of 144.5 good enough for a paycheck of $1,444.15.
Peter Defreitas riding for Double Run Farm Placed Reserve in L4O and Top honors in L3O with a score of 144.0. Both classes combined in winnings to $1948.82
Nathian Morton riding DP Commandanut for Dorminy Plantation scored a L1O win scoring a 143.0 The score was good enough for a reserve win in L2O and a forth place in L3O bringing his winnings to a total of $1082.33 for the Dorminy’s.
The state of Florida was well represented when Charles Rome riding KR A Freckle Nic for Cheree Kirkbride of Ocala Fl scored a 143.50 to win the L2O and Reserve Champion in the L3O as well. Combined winnings total close to $986.80.
Heading over to the Non Pro Futurtiy results

Action from the BH Derby to follow;

It didnt take too long to figure out that Judith Vetter riding for Dorminy Plantation, should have entered into the Level 4 Open Derby as well, not knowing that, Judith rode Nu Chex To Trash to a 146.50 to capture Championships in all of the rest of the Open classes in the derby. Total winnings from that ride was $2575.22.
2011 Carolina Classic Show Update
There are a couple of things that are guaranteed when your at a Derby of this quality. First, quality horse flesh. I dont mean just round about breeding stock quality horses, but bred horses that truly excel at this sport.

Before going into the Derby itself, honorable mention has to go to Peter Defreitas, riding Ray Jays Award owned by Double Run Farm of Leland NC. His Friday run in the 2000 dollar Open class scored a wild 154, and while walking out had a updated score to a 155. One thing was sure from the very first stop in pattern 10, Peter had his horse primed and ready to show. Its interesting how manuver score of 1.50 can surely wake up the crowd!! It was really enjoying to watch!!
Many thanks go out to all who bid on the items from the Silent Auction on Fri and Sat night before the Derby. The show raised $10,000 with limited advertising. Once the Web Cast was up and running the bids took off and away we went !! Reiners taking care of Reiners !! But I honestly think it goes alot deeper than that. Those of us who work on the road either providing services, training or showing, know the road can be relentless and non forgiving, and sometimes just not fair. But we push on not knowing the future and what it may bring, just that tomorrow always holds a promise in people we deal with and the horses we ride!

With 28 making the call back on the Open side of the Derby, it didnt take long before Jonathan Gauthier riding newly acquired Out West Whiz for Tildon Whitehurst from Herford NC, to clocked a 229. His closest competition was himself scoring a 225.5 aboard Jacbsalinthrulites for Bryan K Knecht of Manassas VA.
This score was good enough to hold off the rest of the open as well as the Int Open, this is to also include the ABI side of the Derby as well.


Limited Open belonged to SLJ StubbornJuice rode by Albert Burton scoring a 220.5 for Smart Like Juice Inc, Markhan Il.
Matthew Hudson riding Its All About Smart for Equine Plus, Ont Canada scores a 217 to capture the LTD Open of the ABI divison.
With 24 riders making it back for the Non Pro side of the Derby, Josiane Guathier riding Timber Finest, for her Dad Francois Gauthier, scored a 220.5.
That score not only was good enough for the Carolina Classic Non Pro Championship but also captured the ABI side as well.
Primetime NP for us old timers went to a tie between Mike Hancock riding Twisters Hot N Spicy and J Wayne Norris Inscootable both scoring a very respectable 215.5.
We had a great time capturing the show as well as the Derby party on Saturday night. Dont forget The Carolina Fall Classic is around the corner, lets make plans to attend, GOD Bless and Be Safe Joe M TEM
Here are the unofficial cut off scores it takes to make it back for the Open and Non Pro Derby and ABI Class
