Louisville '05 Picks

[iced]

So who are your picks for the "big dance"? I think it's going to be an interesting show, really one of the first times this season where all the big names will be combined what with Lexington missing quite a few top dogs this year.

Post them here!

I love louisville! I will be attending this year to watch and i am realy looking forward to it. There are some many choices but a few of mine are
Sadle Seat equitation 10 & under w/t- Cassidy Dolby and Ceadercreaks Mr. Money Man
5 gaited open stake- Boucheron
Adult Country Pleasure- CH Spike-Liegh and Jakie Manzo
Jr. ex. Country Pleasure 14-17- Callaways C.H. Hardin or Ch Future Treasure

Jr. Ex. Tree gaited pleasure 13 & under- May Issure and Allison Rohloff
open three gaited- New yorks perfect gift
Ladies Five gaited- My Chanel
and there are so many more top condnteders for this years louisville!

Nobody else? Come on, now!

I'll post some of mine --
Open Gaited -- BOUCHE!
Open Fine Harness - Callaway's Copyright, followed by Along Came a Spider (who'll win mare)
Adult Show Pleasure - I think 98 Degrees can do it if he's got as good of a first direction as he does a 2nd one
Juv Show Pleasure Driving - Titleist Symbol
Country Pleasure 14-17 Harlem's Half Moon
Three Gaited 13 & Under - Blackberry Delight
Three Gaited 14-17 Sportster. Eventually To Die For and Meredith Steinhauer could get the qualifier, but it's a game of patience with them...a bit of a horse she's got!

I think Alexandra Flynn's got her division, but Kyle Gagnon's a wild card for me since I haven't seen him yet this season...it's fun watching those two compete.

I'll post more as I think of it...it's hard to know who will show in what since there's so many more intricate class breakdowns.

Did anyone else hear, that at Lexington Boucheron blew yet another fuse?
That could be bad, cause he always handled Lexington fairly well even when he was at his worse, but just couldn't handle Louisville.
I hope he wins it all, but I am worried.

Do you think An Heir About Her will show Amateur or go for the big stake?

Will Little Lord Huntley pull off the 5-gaited pony division?

I bet Lisa Heres-Rosenberger will have a huge Louisville this year.

I am really wanting Will Harris to kick butt in the juvie 5-gaited on She's Bedazzled. He is such a nice guy.
And Amy Hein for the 13 and under CP and 3 gaited pony. She has a great pony, just needs some fine tuning here and there, that I hope she gets by Louisville.

I'm being hopeful with Boucheron...!

Will they take New York's Perfect Gift 3 yo? It'd be a blast if they showed him in the open championship against An Heir About Her. She's amazing, but who knows. It'd be nice to see a few more entries in the wt champ this year.

No clue on my part for the juv. five gaited -- not much in the midwest this year, best team being Heirobatic if Ali Judah catch rides him again and I don't think he'll do it at Louisville.

Youth Fine Harness, my vote goes to Cary's Moonraker.

I love Perfect Gift, but I am worried about her trainer as he is having some major problems. I don't know what will happen with any of the horses he trains.
Like Swish, who I looooove!

The last time he showed Perfect Gift he fell off her and ended up having to borrow a coat for the victory pass. It made it to a magazine and the coat looked about 3 sizes to big for him.LOL

[iced]

I've heard about the problems, but I didn't witness that class! Ouch.
I can't even imagine...maybe I'm a nazi about professionalism, but man...

Have you seen Tigerlee in jr. exhibitor yet? Anxious to see that, as he had some exciting shows with Stred. I can't judge by photos...

Oh yeah, and I call Kalarama's New Sensation taking whatever fine harness class he's in with Mary Gise...it's hard to come close to touching that horse.

Three gaited amateur/ladies and whatnot is hard to predict...but I love Callaway's Sugarplum.

5-gaited Open- Boucheron!!!!!
Juv 5gaited- Tigerlee saw him at Chattanooga (he shouldn't have won his championship he took a whole straight-a-way to canter and the judge did see) but he looked so good!!
Ladies 5gaited- Callway's Banner Headline (yeah, kinda bias since my trainer shows him and is undefeated with him...but hey, i still think he is GORGEOUS!!)
Adult show pleasure- My Grande
Juv CP- Harlem's Half Moon or Future Treasure
3-gaited 13&under- Blackberry Delight (saw him at Pro-Am ahhh! Beautiful!!)

I love Boucheron, Callaway's Banner Headline, Tigerlee, An Heir About Her, Wind Cruzer, and many more!
