The first two chukkers were the Jesse Bray show, on his fast bay horses Bray scored two goals each chukker and had the other team chasing him. Sara Rotman had a great neckshot goal for Dark Horse to counter the momentum, but it was not enough to slow down the fast running Antelope team. Antelope was up 7-3 at halftime and then Marianito Gracida proceeded to score three goals in the 4th chukker to give Antelope a big lead, Dark Horse rallied in the 6th chukker but it was not enough to combat the Antelope attack.
Jesse Bray was selected MVP and his mare “Indigo” won BPP
