Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic Adds $40,000 Conquistador Whiz Derby
The Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic just got bigger, adding a new $40,000 Conquistador Whiz Derby. The Conquistador Whiz Derby joins the $75,000 John Deere Futurity and the NRHA South Central Affiliate Finals.

“Competitors have been clamoring for a derby at the ATRC”, said show chairperson, Tami Wagman. “We are so appreciative of the generous support of Michael and Michelle Miola, owners of Conquistador Whiz, who made it a reality.”

The highest scoring mares in the Conquistador Whiz Open and Non Pro Derbies will receive a free breeding to Conquistador Whiz. Conquistador Whiz is the producer of NRHA Open and Non Pro Futurity champions, the second highest money earning horse in NRHA history, KR Lil Conquistador, and earners in excess of $800,000. Winners of the Conquistador Whiz Open and Non Pro Derby will receive Bob’s Custom Saddles.

Being the 2000 NRBC and NRHA Derby Open Champion, Conquistador Whiz is used to having his name associated with derbies. Michael and Michelle purchased the outstanding son of Topsail Whiz in 2008 and are committed to promoting Conquistador Whiz offspring and supporting the reining industry. Says Michael, “We are very proud of the offspring produced by Conquistador Whiz and have been long time supporters of the ATRC. It is our pleasure to sponsor the first annual ATRC Conquistador Whiz Derby and to do whatever we can to promote the fabulous sport of reining.”

The 2010 Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic runs September 2-5th. For information go to www.okrha.com.
