At the top of the stretch of the $232400 Alabama Stakes, Open Mind's chances appeared to be as gloomy as the day itself. She was ahead of only one horse, stablemate Lea Lucinda. She trailed the front-running Dearly Loved by more than five lengths and was running in the middle of the track, where the muddy surface had the consistency of butterscotch pudding.

Before a crowd of 30309, Open Mind chose not to become a part of that gallery.

Southwest Reined Cowhorse Celebrity Spectacular [04:29]
The Southwest Reined Cowhorse Association held their 4th Annual Celebrity Spectacular June 2, 2012 at Lone Star Arena, in Stephenville, Texas. The event featured an Open Fence Work Competition, and competing local celebrities Turtle Powell, Jackie Hobbs and RL Chartier. Cowhorse professionals mounted these first-timers on great horses and after a really quick crash course, gave them the stage. The Professional Cutting Horse Trainer, RL Chartier won the celebrity show-down, but the WPRA World Champion Jackie Hobbs was pretty proud to have outscored the current PRCA World Champion Team Roper Turtle Powell.
