Cupid Strikes In Ada
Heza My Valentine / Alona James take Progressive Fall Classic!
Heza My Valentine, aka "Scrappy," lived up to James' expectations at the event.
Scrappy, a 1999 bay gelding sired by Westhoff & out of the mare Sheza Mean Jet by Fribble Jet, is owned by Rex Nelson / D & D Barrel Horses, Kinston, NC, and Jockeyed by Alona James, Ada, OK......
"He runs really good in that arena, so I was excited about running there for the Futurity," James said. "His first run was pretty much perfect," she said of the gelding's 15.796-second run, the fastest time of the futurity! "I was the last one to run the second go. There were two people that could've beaten me - Darla Taylor and Sharin Hall. They were both 16.2's, so I knew I had to do better than that to win it. I was just trying not to hit a barrel my second run; I tried to be as smooth as I could, & Scrappy pulled through for us to win the average! "
