Anyone seen the Futurity finals list …
I think I heard the announcer mumble that
Tiany Schuster had the low of 16.387
and the bubble for 40 riders was 17.092
The tractor drivers need a lesson in dragging an arena with 3 tractors …
you don't follow each other around or run diagonally across in front of each other ..
for 5-7 minutes on each small drag …
First tractor follows the perimeter of the arena..
2nd tractor is one blade from the perimeter ..
3rd tractor is 2 blades from the perimeter
and then down the middle sections ….
leaving a dragged area 3 tractors wide with
2 passes around the arena and in one minute you are
FINISHED …
AND the draw sheet had the horses in alphabetical order instead of in order
of draw …. is this the first time they have run a big event??
It would have made it easy and enjoyable being able to keep up with who
was riding next …
They could have had both with one more click on the xcel chart ….
Poor announcer spent more time mumbling about the wrong horse or rider
and the ones that had 'signed out' .. 'buyback' than the ones that came to
run in a fair and professional manner.

BARRELHORSE USA...It had the draw in order by number at the top of the page ...you just had to click on DRAW. Maybe you should have ran all 3 tractors and announced..(insert eye roll here). I also went back to the replay for today to see how long it took the tractors for the short drag. First drag took them 2 minutes and 10 seconds...rolled out at 3:15 and rolled to a stop at 5:25! One minute to drag the arena?

Event all access so has us spoiled with every rider futurity, qualifiers, open, youth having their name, draw, and horse displayed on the screen. They also have an option for you to search the draw to find what drags you want to watch without scrolling/reading through it all and you can purchase your video right off the app on your phone! They have a leader board for you to click on so you can view the top 20 in every D.
It really has us spoiled when it comes to other webcasts but I'm just thankful someone is doing it and we can watch! I feel like the market is wide open for some company that is tech savy to start up with the new PCRA rule and everyone just wanting immediate access to large events, futurities, and results.
I love what you pic says under it. Never miss a chance to shut up. I am going to use this in my class everyday. Only I'm don't allow my students to say the Sup word so i will have to change to be quite.
