CR Tuff Twinkie, shown by Jason Clark for Center Ranch, scored 220 points as first to the herd Saturday, in the 65-horse NCHA Futurity Open Semi-Finals. The Woody Be Tuff daughter was challenged, but never topped. Crey Zee, under Tatum Rice for Kevin and Sidney Knight, came closest to CR Tuff Twinkie with 219.5 points, while Ms Baby Cakes, with Lloyd Cox for Barker Ranch, and CR Tuff Tizzy, last to cut in the last set, with Travis Rempel for Rocking P Ranch, tied with 219 points. The ticket to the Open Finals was 216.5 points or higher, earned by 21 horses.

CR Tuff Twinkie was bred for owner Center Ranch out of Calie Del Rey ($109,261), by Dual Rey. Calie Del Rey is the producer of 13 NCHA earners of $405,402, including Hay Maker ($230,218), by Mr Jay Bar Cat.

CR Tuff Tizzy, also sired by Woody Be Tuff and bred by Center Ranch, is out of Dual Pep daughter ARC Catty Dual ($168,762), producer of 13 earners of $426,607, including One Catty Cupid ($191,577), by One Time Pepto.

Eazee E is out of Zee Dually ($201,899), a leading producer of earners of $1.8 million, including Smooth As A Zee ($616,978).
