Rob Getz rode KL Genuine Dually to 214.5 and the Amateur 4-year-old title at Augusta-Richmond County Civic Center. Special

Rob Getz knew something was up when it took about 30 minutes for results to become official.

After a video review, Getz and KL Genuine Dually received a 2.5-point bump in the Amateur 4-year-old finals at Augusta-Richmond County Civic Center. It was enough of an addition to move the pair from second to first place.

Getz picked up his first Augusta Futurity title Wednesday with a score of 214.5, defeating Marty Prellwitz and his mare, Kathys Jewel, by a half-point.

Judges originally marked Getz's run a 212.5. But when the event ended, the judges went to video for a review of Getz's run for a hot quit.

A hot quit happens when a cutter stops working a cow before the cow is ready to quit, bringing about a three-point deduction. Getz gained two points back after the review.

"The cow had stopped and the herd help tried to move it, and I didn't think it was going to move," Getz said. "So I got off the cow. It seemed like it (stood there) an eternity."

Prellwitz stood around after the competition for what seemed forever waiting on the official results. When word came, he learned he just missed out on the championship.

"You'd rather lose by two or three than a half-point," Prellwitz said. "But it was a good run. The main thing is the best man, or the horse I should say, always wins."

Getz, a 45-year-old father of two daughters from Milton, Wis., earned $3,194 with the delayed victory. Prellwitz of Weatherford, Texas, took home $2,513, while Jason McClure of Hayesville, N.C., and Cryin For Daylight placed third (211, $2,010).

Getz purchased KL Genuine Dually, a mare by Dual Maker out of Genuine Omega, from Tom Lovett in September 2004. Getz's horse trainer, Bruce Morine, found the horse and told Getz to jump on a plane and come to Texas. There, he fell in love immediately.

"I saw the mare and the first two times she stopped, it was a done deal," Getz said. "I just made up my mind that this was going to be a good horse."

It was great horse Wednesday. Getz said he just had to pick out the cows and let the mare do her job. Getz, who does consulting work for industrial construction companies, couldn't wait to call his family after everything settled down.

"It's a thrill," he said. "The people who are really going to be thrilled is my family. (My wife, Lori) and I have been on some awfully long rides home together, where you drive to Las Vegas or Utah and you don't do anything.

"She listened to me gripe and get frustrated, and she tolerated me."
