Reyzin Smooth Cash picked the perfect time for the biggest win of her career.
With Geoffrey “Spud” Sheehan aboard, the 4-year-old mare marked a 222 to win the 4-Year-Old Open at the PCCHA Reyzin The Cash Derby & Classic/Challenge. The win included a $15,000 first-place paycheck, plus another $55,000 for being the top-placing offspring in the Derby fathered by her sire, event sponsor Reyzin The Cash.
Bred by her owner, Iron Rose Ranch LLC, Reyzin Smooth Cash’s previous high placings were second in the Cascades Futurity Open and tying for third in the Futurity Open at last year’s Brazos Bash. This year, she made the Open finals in the 4-Year-Old Open at the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) Super Stakes and Abilene Spectacular.
The PCCHA Derby class winnings from the finals on Monday, June 13, and incentive money from her sire pushed Reyzin Smooth Cash’s lifetime EquiStat record to more than $110,058.
