 Did danyelle Campbell get married? If so, my husband will be crushed. He recognizes very few but she's one. Haha. Tonight on rfd, there's a special about the road to the American. Cervi et al will be on there.Â
Yes, she got married in June during the NBHA Vegas show, in Las Vegas. | |

LIVE2RUN - 2014-01-23 7:59 AM 3 To Go - 2014-01-20 9:34 PM crapshooter - 2014-01-20 6:19 PM wow it would be worth it NOT to go to the NFR if you get a million bucks more to beat the NFR qualifiers.  The NFR qualifiers from last year (who weren't in the top 10 ) couldn't outrun the qualifiers in AZ! Sherry even ran Stingray in the Open race and wouldn't have been fast enough. Putting some of those those 1D jackpot horses who don't have much rodeo experience in a rodeo environment might change things up a bit. I was thinking about that last night. It's going to be a tough pen!! Stingray usually runs a 16+ second run at that pen, she must have not been on her game, however, George does hold the arena record. Hmm, I wonder what horse Sherry is going to bring to the American? Is it going to be a small pen or a large one?
What size pen is Arlington in seconds?Â
I find it hard to believe that Sherry wasn't trying to win money with her run, because she didn't even place in the 1D money in the Open with her run. Also, Fallon and Brittany couldn't make it either and they were trying with their NFR mounts. Again though, running on good ground is much different than most rodeo ground. Stingray probably could have made that same run in the warm up pen (which was rock hard), where others that did qualify would have struggled.
They have never had a rodeo or race in Arlington so who knows how they'll set the pattern. Could end up being like Houston and set a tiny pattern at one end of the arena to make room for the stage. Who knows. | |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | dme0324 - 2014-01-22 9:08 AM NJJ - 2014-01-20 11:49 AM Each single-event champion at The American will earn $100,000, and the runner-up will pocket $25,000. In addition, organizers will designate a $1 million “side pot” for non-credentialed competitors who earn the right to compete through qualifying rodeos in cities such as Mesquite, San Angelo and Amarillo. If a no-name competitor defeats the all-star cast of riders in an event, that person will receive $1 million. If more than one non-credentialed competitor wins a single event title, the $1 million will be split.
According to this description, my underrstanding would be that if a barrel racer was the only "non NFR Top 10 qualifier" who won the event she/he would win the $100,000 PLUS $1 million....IF two (or more) "non" Top 10 Qualifier contestants (ie. a barrel racer and a bullrider) win their respective events they would split the $1 million by that number (2 or more). no name???????? what a horrible description
Well........if they out run, out ride, out rope, or out wrestle the "all-star"....they certainly won't be a "no name" for long!  | |

They clearly did not think through their rules very carefully, because in their "no-name" category (aka: the Qualifiers) you have former NFR qualifiers and million dollar earning futurity riders. They are definitely not a "no-name", and are read about in BHN a lot! | |
