It was a fantastic finish for Highbrow Supercat.
The High Brow Cat daughter, ridden by Tommy Marvin for Paul Dean, scored 226.5 points as the third entry in the second bunch. And Highbrow Supercat had followed Peptocandy, ridden by Ronnie Rice for Kelly Schaar, who had earned 224.5 points as the next-to-last horse in the first bunch, where Autumn Acre with Phil Rapp, and Jerries Dual Legacy with Graham Amos, had marked 222 points.
“It’s a dream come true,” said Marvin, who had placed second in the Open Semi-Finals with 220
points. “It’s usually nerve-wracking, but I had a lot of confidence in the cows we had picked. And they were easy to cut and the horse just rose to the occasion.
“She has a showy style and she is real gritty,” he added. “It’s just a combination of things that
a lot of horses have, one or the other, but she has both.” Paul Dean, a small animal veterinarian from Claremore, OK, purchased Highbrow Supercat privately, as a yearling, from
C. Anderson.
“Paul has had horses with me for several years,” said Marvin. “But we sold them every year.
This is the first one that he said, ‘We’re going to keep this one and show it.’
“I knew as soon as I got her, I was almost sure that I would be showing her here, if she stayed
healthy. She was easy to train and always tried to be good. I never had to fuss with her at all. She doesn't take much loping.
