Pride And Joyy—fondly known as "Kilo"—had a standout performance, winning the Derby Heeling with Trevor Brazile. He marked the highest score of the day in the Heeling with a 159.14. Kilo's victory added $8,050 to his lifetime earnings, which now total an extraordinary $223,394. Kilo's consistent success in the arena underscores his exceptional abilities.
Additionally, CR Better Be Tuff, ridden by Joseph Harrison, took the Reserve Champion title in the Derby Heeling. A progeny of Woody Be Tuff, another Solo Select stallion, CR Better Be Tuff is owned by Darren and Tara Johnson. His lifetime earnings are now $64,733.
Trevor Brazile, reflecting on the performance of these outstanding stallions, said, "These horses are in a league of their own. Their athleticism, heart, and consistency are unmatched. Riding these stallions is like having the ultimate competitive advantage."
Melanie Smith of Solo Select echoed this sentiment, stating, "‘The Very Best Live Here’ is not just a tagline—it's the truth.
