I heard the ground was really bad and a lot of horses fell. What was the crazy set up? |

They shifted the pattern to the right so that there was a center alley, leaving a lot of room on the backside of the second and then when they got to the third barrel (it's tough to explain)....
They had a wing out set up for the calf ropers at that end. For a horse that turns the third barrel to the left (which most do), it was a tough optical illusion for them because it looked like there wasn't much room to get between the panels and the third barrel. If you had a lefty I can see where it would have been an advantage. As it was most of the horses were setting up HARD going into the third barrel and it would have been tough to be battling the ground AND keep your horse up and moving into that turn. |

Ah, that does sound a little crazy...of course the calf roper I get my info from didn't notice all that :) |

Location: NE Texas | Thanks for the posting the times! Is the Bailey, Bailey Wright? Sounds like a crazy set up. I'm looking forward to seeing Katelyn and Kellies Chick run in person. I've heard how cool she is and was hoping Michelle would bust her out one night in Vegas. Anybody got videos from Sherrylynn's barrel race? |

Location: The Oklahoma plains. | I was sick to see Michelle and Slick fall among the others.
I watched online and wondered why they were having trouble at the 3rd, thanks for explaining that R80.
The ones I thought were shoe ins to be in the top 5- didnt even make it. Its much like rodeo ground at its worst every year. Sad IMO. |

Location: Beggs, OK | That ground is shifty at best... Those horses that run in to a turn and stay stood up handle it fine. You could tell which ones were old rodeo war horses, they took care of themselves and still clocked respectably. |

Location: Oklahoma | I didn't think the ground was that good at the ACRA finals. I saw a lot of horses slipping around, however, they are seasoned rodeo horses so most of them handled it. I only went Friday night (which was the worst night) and by Sunday perf it was a bit better. IMO |

| Oregonracer2 - 2013-12-23 4:15 PMWhy run if you know the ground is ALWAYS bad? At one time it would draw many former and present NFR qualifiers, and top futurity/derby trainers. It doesn't anymore. That may be why. Also, it used to be truly invitation only. I don't know if it is truly invite only anymore. Someone else may know.

Location: Oklahoma | For a $400 entry fee, they'll let you "invite" yourself. Used to be a good race, but they sure aren't famous for good ground. Good race and pays well, just wish they could get the ground a little better. I agree with TurnLane, there was a couple girls I'd have bet my last dollar to be in the top 5 and they weren't. I've been 3 or 4 times and won a little, but I'm not going to throw down $400 for something that they take so little pride in making the ground decent...and anyone who knows me knows I'm the queen of winning money on bad ground! :-) |

It's hard to pass up when it's so close and the money is that good, I guess I just hoped they would have the ground figured out by the next time!(plus I was going to be there for the roping anyways) I've entered a few times and this past time will be my last! It was worse then it has ever been since I've entered. I have ran at the ACRA finals there a few times as well and never had problems with the ground.

I agree- I think they HOPE after ALL this time- they MIGHT figure it out. And its one of those things you just wont know until you get there. |

Location: SP, Brazil | This thread reminds me of a joke I heard one time.
Why are barrel racers cremated after they die?
Because the ground is never good enough.
Seriously, even at the World Show the ground looked bad. A lot of shows, rodeo etc. they don't know what good ground is. I am sure that nobody organizing this event wanted horses to fall or be hurt.
Sometimes bad ground happens. |

The ground at the World Show was bad for the prelims, Michele and Slick fell. Sad when you know they would have made it back. It was fixed for the short go. |
