D&D Futurity Continued From Page 1 “About a year ago, when I was barely asking him, we went to a local arena and my husband watched and remarked about how he was really driving the entire time, even then,” said Walker. “Anymore, as long as I’m smooth, I know he’ll clock.” DTF Way Ta Fire is by JB Quarter Horses’ stallion Chasin Firewater (Firewater Flit crossed on a Bugs Alive In 75/Tiny Charger mare) and out of a half-thoroughbred Dash Ta Fame daughter. “Because he’s pretty soft, I try hard to think ‘smooth’ before I run,” said Walker, who felt plenty of excitement and pressure the night before the finals. “I don’t do a lot of bumping and checking because when my adrenaline gets going, it can be more like a floating your teeth kind of thing.” Walker, who commonly runs futurity horses as 5-year-olds due to her climate in Idaho, is enjoying the bigger, more fun futurities this season with her 4-year-old. “If they’re mature, we’ll run them at 4,” said Walker, who took three colts to the Diamonds & Dirt. Her plans for Way Ta Fire are to hit the futurities in Pasco and Walla Walla, then a couple small ones in Heber and Salina, Utah, before venturing on to Fort Smith. “We’ve talked a lot about this horse, and I think he is as fast and quick-footed and physically talented as anything I’ve ever run,” she said.
