After a recent bit of bad luck, Elizabeth Queen finally got a good draw Thursday night.

Queen and Jazzy Touche marked 223 to win the Classic Non-Pro finals by five points at James Brown Arena.

The Lipan, Texas, cutter, originally from Estill, S.C., added her third Augusta Futurity title and a check for $17,910. Queen won the Futurity Non-Pro in 1998 and 2008.

Queen and her husband, Skip, have won a combined six Augusta Futurity titles. The pair have won titles in each of the past three years.

"It's so much fun to win here," she said. "This is like my hometown place. They really make a big deal out of it and that makes it a lot of fun."

Queen had little time to enjoy her win. She's riding in the first bunch of horses in the Futurity Non-Pro second go-round this morning.

"There probably won't be a whole lot of celebrating," she said.

Mike Bowman, of Simpsonville, Ky., and San Tule Uno placed second at 218 for $12,115. George E. Moore Jr., of St. George, S.C., and BSR Cat finished third (216, $11,062).

Queen and her 5-year-old mare by Smart Lil Ricochet out of Sparklin Jazz, got an excellent position in the finals. Last year, Queen won the Futurity Non-Pro title despite running last in the competition. In the Classic Open second go-round earlier this week, she faced another bad draw with her horses, Jazzy Touche and Bubble Gum.

For the finals, she bucked her bad luck and rode first aboard Jazzy Touche in the second bunch of cattle.

"I was lucky to have that good draw to be able to pick the cows first," she said. "That was fun."

"First is always the best draw to have, because the cows are always a bit tough the deeper you get into them," Skip said.

"This is one of the places where if I draw first, I'm pretty happy about it."

The Queens bought Jazzy Touche when she was 3. Skip, who trained the horse, could tell right away the purchase was a good one.

"She was real cowy and had a good stop on her. She seemed to be pretty smart, pretty trainable," he said.

"She's always just kind of come right along."

When the Queens come to Augusta, they stay with her parents in Estill. Her parents, Miles and Becky Elliott, get them fresh cattle to work their horses at the family farm in nearby Allendale, S.C.

"My mom and dad really do so much for us when we're here," Elizabeth said. "We're really pretty spoiled when we come here."
