The Performance Report had a chance to walk back to Edsall’s stalls with him after the win and hear about RBS Anniesugardaddy.

PR: “How long have you you RBS Anniesugardaddy in your program?”

Edsall: “[The Millers] bought him as a yearling and we started him, so we’ve had him for two years now. Rocking BS Ranch raised him, and they have a get-together before the NSHA Show in Vegas, and I think we brought him home from Vegas.”

PR: Tell us about this horse as an individual.

“Extremely easy. He’s the first Annies Smart Cat I’ve had. He just wakes up every day and likes to do his job. He has a ton of stop, ton of cow, turns good, lopes good.”

PR: Walk us through your reining and fence run.

“Rein work, he was a 224. I didn’t run him that hard. He lopes his circles really good, he’s very attractive in the pen. I ran him to his stops, and he turns good, so I wasn’t trying to be [a 224] but it just kind of worked out.”

“I told myself to go down there and try to mark a 216. A businessman run. When they blew me off that cow, I was thinking, ‘This ain’t a bad cow.’ And I didn’t want to risk getting another [cow] and drawing one that ran me over.”

PR: They added a $100,000 to this futurity—why is it a must-stop for you?

“I try to come every year. We live in Weatherford so I get to drive back-and-forth. Come in, school, drive home and work horses. It’s long hours, but it’s convenient.”

PR: What’s your plan for maintaining and advancing Cy from now until the Snaffle Bit Futurity?

“I think going forward, he’s a smart horse, so we make it about the cow. We won’t do a lot different, I’ll just show him the pattern. He can do all the pieces, so it’s just keeping him interested.”
