| I saw Shane Hanchey and Marty Yates listed in the calf roping results for the Helotes, TX rodeos. So have they dropped out from the ERA? |

Shane & Marty were competing in both associations. Only the stockholders cannot compete in both, if they don't own stock....they're still in good standing with the PRCA. |

I see, that's pretty confusing. Nick Sartain must be in the same boat then, as he is entered at Guymon? |

That would be my bet, I know some bullriders were that way as well. I think some can survive without having to do the PRCA rodeos for a bit and have held onto their stock, others need to be able to do both. |

What makes the contestants elite. If they're elite and special then prove it by competing against anybody who wants to butt heads with them. What makes the 10-year-old girl elite? Many questions. I see a pattern of arrogance here.  Nothing umpteen jillion other 60 pounders haven't accomplished. Be real. She's there because she's a draw for the "cute" factor. The little person. The awwwww thing.
What's wrong with choosing someone that happens to not only be able to be competitive at that level - but is a great marketing draw? Â I fail to see an issue. Â

A lot of the guys I know that run barrels weigh as much or less than the women! Also, I don't see any heavy set jockeys running at Churchill Downs, or any other racetrack. If it was true it only took a talented rider on a talented horse wouldn't you see someone who is talented but weighs 140# and is 5'6" on a racehorse? How much weight is carried over a distance is a factor. Other factors include straight lines, distance from the barrels, etc. But weight is a factor when dealing with a timed event. If it wasn't jockeys and NASCAR wouldn't obsess over being lighter for a race. |

If "weight" was the only true factor in barrel racing....then EVERY (or 90+%) of Open Barrel Races, Rodeos, Jackpots, etc would be won by a 60# child ..... But it is a good excuse for those who get outrun by them...... |

This ^^^^ what Norma said. 
Its not the weight that matters, its how the horse is jockeyed/riden, balance is what counts/matters...  |

They haven't shown Taylor Jacob either on her last two runs. They have only showed about 8 or 9 of the girls for each night/performance. |

She was, but she and Cory both pulled out early this year. |
