Only a couple knocked bars kept her out of the Q's this weekend. She will be a knockout a year from now! Java qualified in 6/10 runs with Caroline handling. He had a 100% Q rate in jumpers, earned his first gamblers Q, and received 2 Q's in regular toward his RJ-N title (3 needed). His jumpers runs earned his novice jumpers title as well: JJ-N.
