At this new marquee event, Dell Hendricks rode Memorable Affair to win the Open Futurity with a score of 222. Memorable Affair is sired by Major Vaquero and out of Coronas Affair.

Just a week later, the futurity action moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for The Jim Glover Chevrolet Tulsa Reining Classic. The location was different but the result was the same, with Dell riding Memorable Affair  to the Futurity Championship. Owned by Bob Stinner of Aubrey, Texas, Memorable Affair  is by Major Vaquero, a stallion Hendricks owns with partner, Tom McCutcheon.

And the mare’s “whoa” is reminiscent of her sire’s memorable style.

“She’s a huge stopper,” enthused Hendricks, shortly after the win. He noted that the mare will be shown next at the Congress Futurity, then at Oklahoma City. “She wants to be a show horse. You can call on her and she can take the pressure!”
