Elizabeth Queen of Lipan, Texas, and Lil Sting Rey held onto the lead with 222 points after the second day of Non-Pro competition in the XTO Energy NCHA Super Stakes Classic in Fort Worth Wednesday.
Jennifer Foland and Shes Twice As Smooth, who were co-champions at the 2010 Super Stakes, have the next highest score with 218.5.
Queen, an NCHA Non-Pro World Champion, is riding a 5-year-old son of Dual Rey and Sanjo Lisa bred by Glenn Drake. Sanjo Lisa is a San Jo Lena mare that earned more than $85,000. Lil Sting Rey was an NCHA Futurity Open semi-finalist with Skip Queen in 2010, and was an Augusta Classic Open finalist earlier this year.
In the Limited Non-Pro division, with qualifying rounds held in conjunction with the Non-Pro, Isisdro Sigala and Andrew Viola share the lead with 218 points.
Sigala is riding Sofie Rey, his 6-year-old Dual Rey mare which has earned more than $100,000, and which carried him to a Limited Non-Pro reserve championship at the Abilene Spectacular at the beginning of the year.
Andrew Viola, who turns 12 this Friday, is riding One Rowdy Kitty, a 5-year-old mare by One Time Pepto. Viola won the El Rancho Futurity 4-year-old Amateur championship on her last September.
Non-Pro and Limited Non-Pro competition continues with six sets in historic Will Rogers Coliseum on Thursday.
