 Don't Wanna Make This Awkward
Posts: 3106
   Location: Texas | Well after round 7 the world championship is gonna be extremely close! I was heartbroken for Lisa when that barrel fell.. I know she's still in the race for sure, but my bet is it goes down to round 10 and whoever places highest in the average between Callie, Lisa, and Sarah Rose..

| Sara Rose! She only has 1 barrel but has the greatest chance to keep winning rounds. Would not surprise me if she won a few more rounds. Mare keeps getting better and better. |

| It could be a nail biter! Callie is leading the average and seems pretty solid, but needs to keep placing in the rounds with the way Sarah as been winning and with how Lisa & Louie can place. Callie needs to stay where she is in the average and hope Jackie can stay 2nd to give push those other girls down in the average money if she doesn't place high in the rounds. Their draw positions may have some effect since Sarah will be 2nd to last tomorrow and Lisa last. As we have seen the past few nights the top of the ground is alright and the bottom gets downright scary! After tomorrow night Callie will be in the same position with being at the bottom of the ground for the last 2 rounds. Unfortunately I do not have a lot of faith in whoever is in charge of the ground and getting it fixed :( Hate to see it become a "stand up" contest for the World Title again. But these girls are professionals and will adjust accordingly. |

   Location: Arizona | Wow, such a close race and to have two rookies fighting for the world championship is insane. How fun and exciting!! You for sure can't rule out Lisa. Louie is so darn tough and so consistent, I look for her to win one of these three rounds left.
I feel bad for Sherry. I hope Stingray is okay!! What tough luck. I am hoping she can stay in 10th place and get a chance to go to the American, but Jackie Ganter is coming on strong and might pass her up.

| There are so many I am cheering for but I hope this is Louie's year. I know being able to be consistent and run 10 clean runs in that pen on that dirt is amazing but I almost wish they would do away with the average, put that $$ to go round payout, so a down barrel, especially due to bad ground, does not take you out of the race for the title.

| Louie has been on fire this week, he barely touched that barrel last night and that was heartbreaking how long it took to fall (I think she was turning 2nd by the time it hit the ground). I think she is going to pull it together and rebound from it, and keep placing in the go rounds.
Sarah Rose and Bling are breathing down her neck though, but with a horse like Bling (SUPER push style), all Sarah would have to do is let up .01 second too early and she's going to crash into one of those barrels. It's going to be interesting to see if Bling keeps up these consistent runs or if she starts shutting down like a few of the others did tonight.
Callie and Dillon are just a great team, this week is probably the best I've seen Dillon run in the T&M in a long time. |

      Location: The edge of no where | I do love Bling... and I see a world championship in their future. I really want Lisa & Louie to get this for 2015. She's done an amazing job training him and I just love to watch them run. I thought that barrel would stay up last night. |

        Location: Broxton, Ga | If the barrels stay up for Callie and she continues to place as she has......it is hers to loose I believe......I think she would have to knock and not get checks that one barrel hurt Sarah the first round.........it is close for sure.........
Disclaimer I am a Sarah fan and hope she pulls it off......... |

       Location: South Central Florida | Ugh, I love Sarah, but really wanted Lisa to win the World this year. If Sarah doesn't hit, I don't see how she can lose. As long as she is ahead of Lisa in the Average at this point, she will beat Lisa but I guess Callie can slip in there. I wish Lisa could win it...She and Loui have won every thing else there is to win. |

     Location: Peach State | If it was over today it would be Callie, Sarah, Lisa.
But they have 3 more runs, 3 more shots at $26,000 day checks or 3 chances to hit barrels.
Really close would love to see Lisa and Louie get their world title but it would be cool seeing a NFR rookie win a world title too! (Plus I'm from Georgia :) ) |

Callie would still win if it ended today. That barrel in round one hurt Sarah. But there would only be $4000ish between Callie and Sarah it it was over today. So it really depends on how they place in the next final rounds. |

I think Sara Rose or Callie might have this one in the bag when it comes down to the average. Both would be fine by me. |

I just looked it up and the arena record was 2011 but he still had some great runs in 2012 and even ran the fastest time of the week that year

Yea, in 2011 with Carlee. It was 13.4 which isn't the arena record anymore (Bo) but he hasn't run that fast with Callie yet. |

Thats what I was thinking, he looks good, but it looks like Callie has been making "safer" runs on him, which may pay off for her if she gets the world title! |

Very true. I like how you can see her gain confidence as the nights go on, too. |

True, but I believe hit some too. This the longest he's run without hitting, I think. |

This is by far Dillon's most successful year in terms of clean runs. In 2008 he hit barrels in 4 rounds and placed in 5 (1 - 3rd, 1- 4th, 2- 5th, 1- 6th). In 2011 there were 6 rounds with downed barrels, but when he did leave them up he placed (2- 1st, 2- 4th). In 2012 he had 5 rounds with down barrels and placed when he didn't hit (2-1st, 3-2nd). Dillon has never gotten an average check in his previous NFR appearances. |

I think they still have a good chance! He is getting faster and as long as they can keep barrels up she'll be taking it home!!
That tipped barrel last night killed me! From what it looked like at 4:30 this morning, he just nicked it! |

This was what I meant. Yes, might not be as fast, but this is the most consistently clean he has been. She jockeys him very well. |
