| Well she must have thought he was fine since she ran him tonight. At Reno in 2014 he turned the first barrel in the Finals and then pretty much came out of the arena 3 legged. If you have been to Reno you know their ground can get hard and treacherous. Looked like her summer was over, but then he ended up winning $20K later that week. |

The mayor of Las Vegas is Oscar Gooodman's wife. Are you sure you want to mess with the mob like that?? rofl.

He is super tough, I think he probably just had a stinger...like when you jump out of a truck wrong LOL or you jam a joint for a second...and then its better. He looked okay...I know she had him checked out and wouldn't have run him otherwise. Nice to see him ok...he is a winner for sure. |

| ThreeCorners - 2015-12-09 10:50 AM What is the story with her other horse? Is he not as good in small pens or what?
She pretty much made a lot of her money this year in the bigger outdoor pens...the other horse (Boy, sp?)is really nice too. I wouldnt say either of them are really indoor pen horses to be honest. They are better than mine though haha...She really felt like Radio was the reason she made the finals. After the second round she said that she knew there were people that were really wanting to see Boy in that pen...and that he would probably get his chance at it...but that Radio tends to get better run after run and to be paitient because "Radio deserves this"....that is more or less a direct quote lol

MOTIVATED - 2015-12-08 1:38 PM From a friend who is in the know....a ground crew offered to come do the ground at the finals this year for FREE, including dirt, equipment and crew and was turned away. The ground that they use for the finals is 30 years old...it is the same dirt every year...with the exception of last year where they added sand but not enough water...and that is why it was so shifty last year. This year it is better BUT the arena is drying out too quickly. I do know that a couple years back a very famous ground crew in this area supposedly offered for FREE to also do the Amarillo PRCA rodeo ground because slack is notoriously bad every year......they were turned away. I have a few friends competing this year and most of the horses have handled the ground pretty well this year...it is MUCH better than last year...but they need professionals to come in and let them do their job...its free...I dont know why they wouldn't allow it other than pride.
not trying to come off as rude.....but how is it that you know SOOO much about what is going on behind the scenes?
Not trying to come off as rude BUT have you ever thought that MOTIVATED has been there and helped out people at the NFR personally?
How in the world did they get dirt that is 30 years old? Now that is pretty funny.
Only thirty years old? Good one! |

Exactly. Dirt for North American Rodeo and KY State Fair are decades old. It's stored not far from the fairgrounds.
OKC Fairgrounds has a huge covered area where it stores the dirt for the coliseum. Before they built the "barn" for the dirt they almost lost the NRHA futurity. It had rained for several weeks before the futurity and there was no dry dirt anywhere. The fairgrounds agreed to build a barn for the dirt after the debacle to keep the NRHA in OKC. |
