“Souper Shuttle felt amazing today and I knew this was going to be a great course for her after I walked it” said Chloe Reid. “I had the plan to ride both of my horses in both classes here at Live Oak and I wanted to go for it in the $10,000 Waldron Private Wealth 1.40 Power and Speed (Table A) but also wanted to set up for the weekend ahead. I’m very happy with how today unfolded.”
