The competition was no different than usual at Gordyville Breeders Classic, tough and dirt slidin’ gritty. For the second year in a row a Caballo Rojo Ranch mare was high point mare in the Open to the World Derby and the Breeder’s Cup. Sam Smith showed Stun Gun<\/a> to top honors taking the championship in the Intermediate Open and placed third in the Open Division, taking home a pay check worth over $10,000.00.<\/p>\n

Stun Gun (PT) (Colonels Smoking Gun x Sugar Baby Whiz x Topsail Whiz) zapped the competition in the
\n$10,000-added Intermediate Open division. Ridden by Sam Smith for Victoria Lambert, Hempstead, Texas, the 5-year-old mare scored a 221.5 for third place in the Open division and first in the Intermediate Open. \u201cI was in the process of getting her ready for Carl

[Lambert] to show in the derbies this spring,\u201d Smith said. But plans do change. Smith took Stun Gun for a test drive at a derby held in Waco, Texas, early
\nin February. They won the Open and Intermediate Open divisions with a score of 150. \u201cAfter Sam marked a 150, we decided to let him show her for the rest of the derbies this year,\u201d Victoria said. \u201cCarl will show her in the APHA World Show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Smith said he likes the mare\u2019s attitude. \u201cShe loves to hear \u2018whoa,\u2019 but her strong point is really her mind,\u201d Smith
\nsaid. \u201cShe\u2019s a good show horse. She wants to be good in the show pen. She\u2019ll do things there she won\u2019t do outside.
\nAfter I showed her at Waco, I told Carl that the last time I felt a horse like that in the show pen was Hollywood
\nWhite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith won the 1997 NRHA Open World title on Hollywood White. Stun Gun earned $3,857 in the Open, $3,457 in the Intermediate Open and a total of $3,118 in the Open to the World Derby.<\/p>\n
