| Jordan and Rollo has such a beautiful pattern and it was fast! Hailey bout gave me heart palpitations rocking 2 barrels a little. I think Lisa and Cutter will only get faster, too. Sure hated to see Nellie and Sister hit. It was a great start to the NFR!
Also, for y'all staying on Fremont Street and anyone goinfo to watch the Jr NFR and barrel races at the the Plaza, they have some really really nice shopping on the ground floor. One of a kind turquoise jewelry, Elite custom saddles (several of the NFR breakaway girls ride in them) and other artisan shops are there. Unfortunately, the advertising wasn't great for the Plaza shopping, but they have really nice one of a kind shopping there.

| I have always admired Cheyenne's riding ability, she is a jockey! I am cheering for Molly Otto to nail that first tonight and see them getting faster. |

Rollo is amazing! I think Haileys gonna have to really work hard this week to keep this pack from #1... I am hoping to see Lisa get on the grey she calls Levee...her entire herd is nice though! Cutter handled it well! Cheyenne is a hand! and has paid some dues the last few trips to the finals... glad to see her shine... |

I have been watching Firefly since he was a yearling. I knew than he was going to be a race horse. Amandas Dad Bob raises and trains some really solid horses, The horse that Amanda rides in the grand entry is one of Bobs studs and he is no joke either. After watching how hard Bob and Amanda and her mom have worked to get here. I have a smile from ear to ear. Firefly is a machine and loves a small pen it's going to be a fast NFR. |

Happy for them!!! Now you got me watching the grand entry LOL |

Location: Randolph, Utah | I was so excited to see Amanda & Firefly split the win last night. I also really like the horse Cheyenne is riding. I was really surprised to see Ivy & J-Lo rock a couple barrels. I think it's a phenomenal pen of horses and ladies this year. It should be fun watching the next 9 nights! |

Location: 31 lengths farms | Barrel racing is going to be cut throat!!! Looked like quite a few had ground issues especially right barrel first horses. Nellie's Sister inside front slipped a good 6-8 inches on the back side and she wasn't only one. |

Cheynne Wimberly mentioned it in her interview with the money barrel. She said it is new ground and they knew it was going to be different after practice. She said they are working on it and it should firm up through out the week. They are hand raking after every girl, I wish they would show that on the TV coverage. |

I thought I read somewhere he was a stud. Regardless she is riding a horse with a pedigree most folks can afford. That is great for everyone to realize even though it helps to start with proven and expensive pedigree's a good horse is a good horse! All the girls were great but that Cheyenne is a hand and a half! |
