| I feel so bad for Lisa, I feel like she always gets sooo close but never makes it all the way. Still love them and everything they have accomplished |

You are correct; she won it in 2014 and 2015. |

I agree. Louie and Lisa sure has won their fair share of races, Louie has the fire to keep on being a great horse |

| I was pulling for her and Wade to pull off the Triple Crown. But, now I will pull for her to win the ERA championship, even though I am not an ERA fan. I don't care where she is running, she is my pick to win. |

| can anyone answer this question? Now that we are done with year three, how do they do the triple crown in the future? Does it start over now with three consecutive wins going forward or do wins from prior years accumulate and once you've got three you are eligible?
Lisa has 2, so next year if she wins would that be another "triple crown" shot?
Just curious how it works. :) |

Me too. I'm absolutely thrilled for Sarah and Bling but splitting the million would have been awesome for Lisa. |

If you win 3 in a row, that is what they are considering a Triple Crown. So no, I don't believe Lisa would be eligible next year. |

| I watched a portion of the long go that was recorded live at AT&T Stadium. The crowd was ROARING when Lisa and Louie ran...then took over the top spot. It literally gave me chills. |

| I missed most of the American so I was confused.....why were Wade and Lisa eligible for the million when they were in the top 10 from the NFR? |

They both had won their event at the American 2 years in a row and if they win 3 in a row, thats called the Triple Crown. When you win the triple crown you get into the pot for the million. |

So would Wade be eligible again if he wins it in 2016? 2014 - 2015 - 2016 |

He did win it in 2016. And he won the million this year since no other qualifier won their event. Do you mean for 2017?

I'm sure they'll continue making up rules, exemption chances, etc. to get more people interested as they go along - just like they have done so far. |

I think that that was the loudest the crowd was all day. Everyone seemed to be pulling for her. We were there and it was amazing to watch them all, a little sad but they're such a great team, they'll keep winning. |

| Sarah and Bling are going to be a team that's hard to beat. They are just that good. Lisa and Louie did amazing and I was so excited in the first go when she one. I was screaming for them in the 2nd go so much that when I finally stopped, I had a panic attack. :/ I love watching Louie and Lisa and was really hoping for 3 yrs in a role! I do have a feeling though Bling and Sarah will win a NFR World Title pretty soon. Those two ladies and their horses are my two favorites to watch.

Yeah, I didn't like that they did the Triple Crown winners can be eligible for the million. I respect folks that are talented, and Wade did make one heck of a ride, but the idea was to give opportunity to the very talented regular guy, and provide a pretty nice purse to the top 10. This sort of ruined the original idea. |

Agree....... in my younger days I believe I could have ridden a stout easy mover like Louie. I'd look like one of those monkeys on a sheepdog on Bling.
