Dean Brown and Stylish Results - Congress Futurity Champions			It was a proud moment for Santa Hill Ranch's owner Bob Santagata, our head trainer Dean Brown, and all of us here at Santa Hill Ranch, as Dean and Stylish Results had a stunning run in the Futurity Finals at the Congress and won the Intermediate Open Division. Dean had found Stylish Results early on in his 2 year old year. He knew then that the horse had incredible talent and would be a great futurity and derby horse. According to Dean, " Stylish results (AKA einstein) is a incredible athelete. The physical things that he can do without feeling like he is even putting in effort are amazing. Not very often do we get the privelidge to ride such a athelete." Dean and Einstein scored a 220 in the go-round earlier in the week to qualify for the finals. That was only Einsteins second time in the show pen! Dean and Einstein managed to step it up a bit for the finals where they earned not only a score of 221, but also the Int. Open Futurity Championship! Congratulations to both Dean and Stylish Results on your big win! We will all be sure to watch this duo battle it out in Oklahoma.

Steven Borgia and Cocoas Tycoon	Imagine starting off your show season without ever winning a single pewter....and then ending your year as NRHA's 2010 Ltd Non-Pro Afffiliate Champion! That was the case for Steven Borgia. The Ltd Non-Pro Affiliate Finals class started at 8:00am on Thursday December 2nd, and it took all day, and most of the evening, to complete the class of 165 riders. When Steven and Cocoas Tycoon, his 10 year old gelding also known as 'Aldo', came into the show pen they definitely brought the crowd alive with their run. The duo had a fantastic ride that scored them a 217 and clenched the Championship title. Santa Hill ranch is very proud of Steven and Aldo, and all of their accomplishments this year!
