Peterson also earned $1,000 in Round 3 for a second-place finish on Woodys Lil Boon Doc.
The following morning in the 4-and-Under, Peterson once again locked up the Gold Buckle incentive win on Rollin On The River. The win earned Peterson $20,000. Rollin On The River also won the open futurity, worth $7,500 and picked up $2,500 in the opening three rounds of competition. Peterson finished fourth aboard CR Pepto Tuff Lena in the Gold Bucle Incentive, earning $7,500, and sixth in the open aggregate, worth $1,500.
