Vår svenska ryttare Styrbjörn Persson hade modet att mäta sig med den absoluta världseliten inom cutting. Han startade efter endast fyra ridpass tillsammans med den nyinköpta hästen Miss Hickory Cat i årets upplaga av 2012 NCHA Super Stakes Classic Open – klassen för 5-6-åriga hästar. Det blev bara 2,5 minuter och en go round, men Styrbjörn gjorde en bra insats och visade att svensk cutting inte behöver skämmas för sig.
I helgen gick finalen och efter två go round var det till slut 25 ryttare kvar. Australienaren Sean Flynn fick slutligen en perfekt runda på Cat Man Blue. Efter några tävlingar i motvind tycktes det slutligen ha vänt för duon. Han startade med en lugn fin ko som gav honom en lagom uppvärmning inför den ruggigt snabba nummer två. Cat Man Blue släppte inte tagit en sekund och detta gav Sean tid att plocka ut en tredje. Han hade redan sett ut en mindre lite lugnare och den stod längst in i hörnet men han lyckades få ut den i god tid och kunde avsluta ritten på ett briljant sätt. Cat Man Blue ägs av Lazy M Cattle som köpte hästen för att frun i familjen förälskade sig i Cat Man Blues fräknar. Det visade sig att det blev en lyckosam förälskelse.
