Of the 88 horses entered, Rice will show in the Finals Jungle Cat, Roll Your Nickles, Sevens Star Glo and Chic O Dual in pursuit of the AQHA’s golden globe, with Chic O Dual also working earlier in the day in the Senior Heading Finals.

Chic O Dual’s sire, Dual Spark, is one of two studs with two progeny back in the Finals. Hall of Famer J.D. Yates will show another son of Dual Spark, Big Smokin Time out of Big Smoking Wonder. Lil Joe Cash also has two sons in the Finals, with Trey Yates showing Travalin Joe and Dustin Rogers showing Johnnys Lil Cash—a horse that’s also making it back on the head side.

Of note, DT Sugar Chex Whiz will compete with Billie Jack Saebens. She’s a former AQHA World Champion in the tie-down roping with J.D. Yates, and Saebens won the Heel Horse of the Year title on her for Dixon Flowers Quarter Horses in 2019. Since then, the mare has become roping’s blue hen broodmare of this generation as the dam to DT Hickorys Blue Steel who will compete in the senior heading finals, as well as The Darkk Side, who led the junior heading prelims and will compete in the junior heading and heeling finals with Miles Baker.
