The only ones not on that list who are exempt from the semi finals are last years top 10 and the invitation for Charmaign. |

Oh shoot that's too bad. It will be odd to not have her in there. Who else from the NFR that wasn't in the top 10 didn't qualify? |

If anyone is setting their DVR like I just did beware that they named each episode with a different name so you need to manually hit record for each day. |

Pretty sure that anywhere there are more than 3 barrel racers gathered qualifies as a shark pool. I love that. It gave me a great visual.

Of course they were all tuff. However, Az. was the last one. If they hadnt qualified yet, they were there. Talmedge Green brought his whole barn darn near. I watched horses run ( and not qualify) that have graced the cover of barrel horse news numerous times. NFR horses didnt place and when it took a 17.0 on a standard set to get in, and horses that had qualified at other qualifiers ran 17.3's and 17.4's ( and not just the one run but multiple runs the 3 weeks we were there ) was tell tell to me that AZ was the tuffest of them all and was indeed, a shark pool. |

Better look again. There were 3 men and 1 made it back in the top ten. Comparing the total number of men to women entered I would say that the men held their own. |

| Is anyone watching it now on RFD-TV? I wish they would keep people OUT OF THE ALLEY like on Morgan McDonalds run?!! AARRGGHHH!! Hate that! Last time I ran at Mesquite I had to dodge a baby carriage w/baby aboard! Right at the entrance of the alley! And Mom was the driver!! Come on people! Really enjoying this program though!

Yes I saw that Clint made it, but a whole lot of them tried to qualify, only three were able to, and the two that didn't make it were in the top of their field- Talmadge and Kebo |

| Mark Bugni is right up there too! He could have put it together just as likely. But hey, it's a horse race.... you NEVER know what's going to happen. I was crushed to see Kendals horse hit 3. Man, he was wanting it just a bit too much! What a shame.... |

There is a lot of phenomenal horse power and jockeys on that list! What's even stranger to me is seeing men on the list. I'm still old school- rodeo barrel racing is for the ladies.
I think if you compared the total number of men as compared to women that tried to qualify the number of men would be a fraction of the number of women that entered. I'm glad they let them enter. |

So am I. I'm tired of this "old school" stuff in relation to who can and can't compete. Welcome to 2014, where women can vote and men can run barrels at a flipping rodeo. |

She intends to be running in the NFR so commentating would be a little difficult. She was one out of running today at the AZ qualifier. |
|

|
| I agree about Fallon doing a great job commentating. She's been articulate at explaining the runs for lay people, yet is interesting enough for those of us who know whats going on. I think she has handled her comments on "difficult" runs, like Talmadges very well also. At the beginning of the program, I wish she had looked more into the camera when she was talking rather than at the other commentator, but I find a lot of inexperienced commentators do that. I bet she catches it, and corrects it. All in all, it was a VERY entertaining broadcast! |

Yes they did today. It just wasn't their day. Different day, could have been a much different results. I don't really think it is fair to assess that men cannot compete based on today's 1 run or this weekend. Looking at barrel racing as a whole (futurities, Jackpots, etc) I would say men and women are fairly equal. There are top men futurity trainers and top women. Their are men that top the NBHA Worlds and women. It just depends who is "on" that day or that particular weekend. If men were able to have the chance to compete all year like the WPRA women in that type of setting then the result may be different than what was seen today. It was certainly not for a lack of horsepower they didn't place higher. Talmadge just had some bad luck and you can't say he wasn't trying to go for it. I would bet we've all had those days at one point or another, just no one was filming us to broadcast on TV.
Same could be said about the girls under 18. None of them made the perfs. Does that just back up the stance about them not being able to compete in rodeos either and they don't belong competing against the women?
It is unfair to judge off of one or two runs. There were some weekends I've seen Sherry run somewhere and if you didn't know who she was, you'd think she didn't belong running with the top competitors either. Any given weekends, anything can happen.

Actually there were 4 men. Mark, Kebo, Talmadge & Clint. Clint had an awesome run to make it back & will be a definite force to be reckoned with. Kebo was 1 hole out of making the cut today. Talmadge obviously had some bad luck and has proven time & again he can hold his own & has probably forgot more than most of us will ever know about barrel racing, and Mark ran a horse he has never run before and did very well considering.
Congratulations & best wishes to all those that will run again this weekend & especially our own Nicole Love & Jet O Red, who up until last month, had never been to a rodeo!

I'm glad to have the guys running, but it was kinda cool that 4 tough guys couldn't out run my favorite barrel racer June Holeman........go June! I think she's almost 70, or is she already 70? |

| JMO, but I don't think it has anything to do with how many women were there compared to men. The only thing you're running against is the clock. The women had nothing to do with them hitting a barrel, almost falling off, or just not being fast enough. |

Not to mention these 4 men don't have opportunities to compete in rodeo arenas. That was a whole new atmosphere for them and their horses. That ground was probably difficult for them to jockey around. |

From Jordon Briggs FB page
"Jordon Briggs It was very hard and sticky! Hard to find the timing with it." She also mentioned she got off Patron and got on Zena because Patron hated the ground during practice.
I wish I could find the picture I saw earlier on Facebook. It wasn't pretty groomed ground like Open/Futurity people are spoiled with :)

| The BBR crew was there directing the drag, but the ground was not a barrel race/futurity type ground. It was red clay, sticky with big clods and rocks in it. So it didn't matter what kind of drag they did, it was just icky.
I've run at that arena a few times, and it is weird. You have to run in it regularly I think to get it down. There was one that ducked off, 2 that went on the wrong side. No falls, but I think it was because they were stuck to the ground. Even with a few practice runs it would be tough. |

Location: Texas | It was a pretty quite crowd and not a lot of stumbles by any of the horses. The ground looked pretty good and they were dragging every 5. You don't see that at any rodeos around here. Without the bucking stock in the pens in the back and the chutes, I don't think it was much different from futurity setting. At least there wasn't big rocks in there like I have seen in that arena after a monster truck even in there. The NFR girls may have a big advantage in the final at Jerry's World. They have pretty much seen everything. |

Seriously??? That looked more like a jackpot to me, than a rodeo atmosphere. I saw one guy hit a barrel, one almost fall off, and one guy just wasn't fast enough; and I don't think the ground or the atmosphere had anything to do with it. How many rodeos have you seen have a drag after every 5? |

The men there definitely deserved to be there. And the ground wasn't bad but it wasn't deep perfect Big 4D/futurity ground either, so I'm sure that was a factor, but not just for the men's horses--there were jackpot GIRLS there too. Those guys are at the top of the game and know how to handle pressure, and that wasn't even close to the atmosphere of a big rodeo perf anyway. No one should be trying to make excuses for them. Poop happens, this is rodeo. It wasn't their day. |

I don't know how big they will set the arena up, but just the playing area of a football field is 300 feet long...and 160 feet wide...then you have endzone all the sidelines space. |

| Mesquites ground is HARD and rutty! It DOES come into play when you run there. I agree that your horse has an advantage if he has ran there before specifically BECAUSE of the hard, rutty ground. I have had more gals tell me that their horses simply can't work in that ground, so even though it's a close rodeo, they don't enter. |
