GET TO THE FINALS
The 100X Open Stakes is the premiere 4 year old event in reining, with the very best 4 year olds all competing for top honors. Gunnabegreatagain was coming off of his big win in the Tamrack Ranch 4 Yr Old Stakes at the NRHA Derby, and looking to add another notch in his belt.
"I had one bullet this year in the Open Stakes, but I had a really good one. I knew I just needed to get him a spot in the Finals and we would have a big chance at being in the top of the mix," Kaci O'Rourke said of her only entry in the class.
The pair succeeded in marking a 221 to secure a spot in the finals and earn a nice check in the NARS Division of the 4 year old stakes.
BIG STAGE, BIGGER DELIVERY
At Draw 10, "Erik" delivered a big run, marking a 225.5 and finishing in the top end of the Finals. The run culminated a tremendous season for this young stallion.
"Gunnabegreatagain has been a Level 4 Open Finalist in every major event he has been entered: The Congress, The NRHA Futurity, The NRHA Derby, and now the 100X Stakes. He's the kind of horsepower we need to compete at the highest level. This run was the cherry on top of a great season for him," Kaci said.
Gunnabegreatagain was picked out as a yearling by Kaci and Jack, started in the PHPH Class of 2024 and has remained in the program since under the ownership of Peter & Courtney Morgan.
"Peter and Courtney have trusted in us and I'll always be grateful for the opportunities they continue to give us. They actually went over $1 Million Dollars in ownership with Erik's finals run. That made a special night even more special," Kaci continued; "These horses give us everything. Now "Erik" will have a nice break, get his shoes pulled, have some recovery time, and then come back in 2027 for the NRBC and TRFAM Qualifer. I'm really looking forward to showing him again!"
