Stylish Hailee’s Streak Continues At The Southern Cutting Futurity

Stylish Hailee and James Payne continued to blaze through the early cutting futurities with a victory in the Southern Cutting Futurity Open Championship.

The Overbrook, Oklahoma rider and 3-year-old Halreycious mare took top honors during the finals Wednesday morning in Jackson, Mississippi, with a 220. He also finished in the Reserve spot by marking a 216 with Desires A Gun.

It was Payne and Stylish Hailee’s third championship of the season. They previously won Futurity Open championships at the West Texas Futurity and at the Cotton Stakes. The Equi-Stat Elite $3 Million Rider says the Kathleen Moore-owned mare’s accuracy and integrity has allowed her to stand out in the cutting pen.

“You can put her in a pretty bad situation and she’s not gonna get faked out by a cow or anything,” he said.

The three wins pushed the mare’s lifetime earnings to nearly $40,000. Payne is excited about the future.

“I’m pumped to get to show her next year as a 4-year-old,” he said. “I think her integrity, her grittiness, her cowiness…I think she’s gonna make a fun 4-year-old Open horse.”

Bred by Kathy Knost, of Pilot Point, Texas, Stylish Hailee is one of eight earners out of Keep Me In Style (Docs Stylish Oak x Playboys Promise x Freckles Playboy). The mare’s leading earner is Spoonfula Style ($53,935, by Hes a Peptospoonful).

Reserve Champion Desires A Gun is a mare by Boon Too Suen out of Desires To Play (by Playgun). The $12,500 she earned for owners Payne and his wife, Nadine, unofficially pushed her sire past the $2 million mark.
