It’s been a salty two days of non pro reining at the 25th NRBC. Two sections of Non Pro Classic contestants gave it their best inside the Coliseum, and as the preliminary action wrapped up tonight, a bevy of riders secured a place in the Finals on April 22.
Two scores of 220 are on top in the Level 4 preliminaries. Tish Fappani and Joes Genes (Lil Joe Cash x Electric Genes) won Level 3 and tied for first in Level 4 with Gina-Maria Schumacher and Gunnastepya (Gunnatrashya x SDP A Lasting Step). Mandy McCutcheon and JLosa (Arlosa Whiz x Spook N Jessie) finished third in the Level 4 with a 219.5.
Monica Mathison on Girlz On Fire (Inferno Sixty Six x Fabulous Guns) won Levels 1 and 2 with a 218.5. She and Girlz On Fire also finished second in the Level 3 and fourth in the Level 4.
Francesca Sternberg held onto the top spot in the Prime Time on Red Dirt Paleface (Pale Face Dunit x Lost In Tinseltown) with a 219.5 (includes handicap). The pair will also advance to the Level 4 and Level 3 Finals on Friday.
The top 30 overall Non Pro horses in Levels 4, 3, 2 and 1 plus ties and the top 20 Prime Time horses moved on to the Finals on Friday, which kicks off at 8 a.m.
It took a score of 215.5 to make the Finals in Level 4 and a 214 for Level 3. The bubble score for Level 2 was a 212.5, and it took a 210 to make the Level 1 Finals. In the Prime Time, a score of 213 or better moved on to the Finals.
