Futurity Level 3 Open

HR RsureShotOfWhizkey SMcBurney 15KBPRsure Shot Of Whizkey & Sean McBurneyWhile it may not be rare for a husband and wife to compete against each other, it certainly does not happen often that one of them takes first and the other second in the same class. That’s just what happened in the Futurity Level 3 Open when Rsure Shot Of Whizkey, piloted by Sean McBurney, marked a 222, and Waitin On A Whizkey, ridden by Jordan McBurney, scored a 220.5.

Jordan said that while she and her husband are not competitive to the point where one wants to best the other, they “push each other to be better all the time.” Losing only to Sean was exciting since they work all day together and have had the two horses since they were born.

Both stallions are by Whizkey N Diamonds. Rsure Shot Of Whizkey is out of the Gunner mare Gunners Sureshot, and Waitin On A Whizkey is out of the Sailing Smart mare SS Rosa.

Though he did not do as well as he was hoping to thanks to penalties on his turnarounds, Sean said he was still very happy with “Curtis.”

“I don’t even think he’s maxed out by any means yet. He’s just a phenomenal athlete. I’ve never rode anything like him,” he said.

Sean and Curtis received $8,005 for the Championship. The duo also placed sixth in the Level 4, garnering an additional $4,118. Jordan and Waitin On A Whizkey earned $4,873 for the Futurity Level 3 Open Reserve Championship and $2,451 for tying for eighth in the Level 4. Both horses are owned by Rhodes River Ranch, which is located in Arlington, Washington.
