In the Level 4 Non Pro Classic Finals, Jessicah Keller and Moonlite Tonite laid down a tremendous performance in the showdown against Kim Muehlstaetter.

While Muehlstaetter topped Keller’s score of 219.5 in the run-down by 2.5 points, Keller’s reserve championship win in the finals earned her $26,000.

“That’s what I go by generally – how much gas I have in the tank, how much horse I have. And most of the time I figure in who I’m running against,” Keller said in the press conference following the tie-breaker when asked how to make the decision of a run-off.
Moonlite Tonite certainly had enough gas in the tank, turning in the same score he did in his original Final’s run. The 5-year-old stallion is by Gunnatrashya and out of Moonlite Chex and bred and owned by Hilldale Farm.

“His mother is Moonlite Chex, and she is a full sister to Heavy Duty Chex that my sister-in-law won the NRBC on twice.”
With a successful family history in the NRBC, it’s no surprise the team has shined so bright this week at the NRBC in the form of a reserve championship.
