its just awesome to watch  

I'm so torn, there is nothing I'd love to see more than Lisa win the world but I gotta root  too for our girl Nellie!!!!  

They did look great after the first! That horse is wicked fast! 

They are all GREAT---that is why they are there but I am rooting for Lisa, she has been so close and is such a class act. Be wonderful to see her win it while Louie is still involved.

I agree!!  I would love to see her FINALLY win the World!! 

It was good to see the ground look decent for once, nice job rodeo crew!! I hope it holds up for all ten rounds!  I would love to see Lisa win the world!!  I look for Nellie to win the average, that mare of hers is SO consistant in that pen! I think Hailey will be the one that runs another fast arena time...Stevie & Shali will also lay down some smok'n runs!!  Woohoo love it all!!

that guy is my favriote part lastnight. Giving zero cares walking in the ally drinking his drink living his best life. 

I noticed that too. no f***s given ha ha

I screamed at the TV "dude watch out man"....

I really NEED Lisa to win that Title this year, lol...

I would LOVE Lisa to win the world - she's been so close so many times!  I've been impressed with Cutter's performance this year and with Rosa and Louie, she definately has the horsepower.   But Jennie Sharp is a local girl and I would be so excited for her to bring home the world title!!! So I'm torn between the two - But I cheer equally loud for ALL the girls from my recliner!!!

Was it just me or did Lisa and Cutter make a bobble coming out of the 3rd?  And they were that fast with a bobble?  DANG!  That was impressive.  You aren't supposed to be able to make one mistake and place in that tough crowd.  She did!  GO, LISA!  

Cutter looked like he lost his hind end a little going into the 2nd but man he was flying across that pen. HIs turns seemed a little slower but he could change gears in those straight aways! Look out if his turns get snappy with his speed. Several horses seemed to have some opening round jitteers running in that atmosphere. So hard the first time to pick up those barrels when they come so fast at you. And the camera pit behind the first barrel always seems to get a few of them the first couple of rounds until they get used to it. 

I think it would be a whole different game if that first barrel was not a blind barrel coming out of the ally way.

He's been making some big wins this year, like the Ram National Circuit Finals. For a while he was all she had while both Louie & Rosa were out earlier this year. Not many people are that aware of him yet, people have kind of been sleeping on him. He's got a phenomenal career ahead of him. I hope he gets to come out for several rounds & really gets some strong recognition 

He sure can fly!!!! wowza

Brittany's three mares are all homebreds. Kinda amazing really. Katniss, Mona and Birdie!

I believe I saw that Copper Springs Ranch is offering a $100,000 incentive if someone wins the NFR Average on a horse sired by one of the CSR studs, and Cutter is by their stud Prime Talent. Maybe that's another factor that Lisa considered when getting on him? Don't get me wrong, from what I've seen of him, he is phenomenal and freaky fast. I don't think she could go wrong running any one of her horses there.

It was strange seeing Lisa on something other than a buckskin!  I feel like Lisa is one of the BEST barrel racers ever without a world championship!  Hope this is her year!!

I thought so but wasn't sure. It would really cool if she won on a home bred. That was always so special to us when the kids showed heifers. Winning with a home bred is the sweetest.
