The top 20 combinations from Thursday’s prelims returned to the WEC Grand Arena on Friday night with their sights set on the top prize. When the final results were announced, the crowd erupted as Bradley Ost rode Susan Johns’ Nothin But Nett to victory. With the milestone win, Ost also secured his place in the NSBA Quarter Million Dollar Club following the night’s earnings.

Pattern designer Tim Kimura, along with builder Garry McAllister and the WEC crew, delivered a technical track featuring 120 poles paired with a mix of intricate and eye-catching obstacles. Looking ahead to the finals, Bradley anticipated a demanding test. “You plan on it being pretty hard with a lot of things out there, and it being really high. It was challenging, but that’s how it should be when you’re going for a big prize. Jim and Deanna [Searles] have been great this week, at grounding me and reminding me that things happen. We plan for it, we do our homework, but at the end of the day, there are sometimes things you can’t control and that is the mentality we came into this with. We had a plan, and went in knowing he was prepared and ready to go. We went out and we had fun.” Bradley Ost & Nothin But Nett. Photo byShane Rux Photography. Nothin But Nett rose to the occasion, and Bradley credits the gelding’s exceptional foundation. “He comes from greatness,” he said of the 2017 stallion by Machine Made x KM Hot Number. “What an incredible animal. He comes from greatness. The people who bred him are great, he had great trainers, he got put in the right program from the very beginning. Jim and Deanna [Searles] and the Johns family found him through Katie and Rusty Green and purchased him. He was successful in the Pleasure and then went on to do everything he’s done thus far. I feel like I’m just a fraction of the piece of the puzzle that got to ride him tonight. They did all the hard work. Everyone involved with him did a wonderful job and me getting to be the last piece of the puzzle has been awesome.” The pair secured the win with a score of 253, finishing 6.5 points ahead of second place. Reflecting on the moment, Bradley shared, “It’s wild, absolutely wild. Years ago, there wasn’t money in the trail, so just having the opportunity to go for something like this is unexplainably exciting. To be here and actually get it done is even more exciting. It’s insane.” Bradley Ost & Nothin But Nett. Photo byShane Rux Photography. When speaking about World Equestrian Center – Ocala, he emphasized the impact of the facility on both horse and rider. “As for the World Equestrian Center, honestly, everything. I have said this from the moment I came here the first time, the size of the stalls and the footing, the horses are comfortable and happy. I think that makes a world of difference, along with everything else.” He also credited the team behind the win. “I feel so spoiled by my team. Everyone plays a role in getting him ready. The team is incredible, and I have truly never felt so spoiled in my life.” Blake Weis & Made For Naturdays. Photo byShane Rux Photography. Blake Weis secured both second and third place honors in the prestigious class, scoring a 246.5 aboard Mary Alice Nielson’s 2020 gelding, Made For Naturdays (Machine Made x KM Little Bit Of Me), and a 243 with Megan Gieringer’s 2018 gelding, Hes N Like Flynn (RL Best Of Sudden x Shes A Lopin Machine).
