Location: North of the 49th Parallel | The Calgary choice is really odd..... They've never held a barrel race in that venue before and there is a pretty good pen 2 hours north in Ponoka that holds lots of large barrel races and qualifiers "close" in Pasco and Billings/Silesia.

| I had a blast at the one in Glenrose. It was quite a barrel race to watch, 200 plus entries and every one of them running all out. |

Whst fears and controversy? It's been over a month since the American and I guess I've already forgotten any problems. Lol |

There is an issue with the calf roping on whether they planned out letting the qualifer win to split the money or not. It has been said people at the American witnessed a few of the final calf ropers discussing this. I have not heard if this has been settled or not yet. |

I wouldn't consider it a great turnout. Considering that Glen Rose had over 200 at both qualifiers, I think its maybe an attempt to cater to where the numbers are? Hopefully they'll get more entries this year. |

Could be, but they kept Pasco in there, which last year had 55 entries. And dropped Lincoln, NE which I think had over 100 entered.
The 4 locations dropped from last year are Verndale MN, Lincoln NE, Jacksonville FL, and Buckeye AZ.
They added Oklahoma City, Reno NV, Calgary, and Fletcher NC. |

That's what I think as well. With all the rest of the qualifiers having well over 100 and most in the 200 range 60 some entries is small in the grand scheme of things.
I wonder if Reno in june will be run inside or outside? |

Common Sense and then some
Location: So. California | ThreeCorners - 2015-05-06 4:28 AM I wonder why they dropped the one in Buckeye Az in jan. ?
That was my question as it covers a lot of territory. Anyone know how many entries they had this year? |
