	teehaha - 2013-12-15 11:11 AM SKM - 2013-12-15 7:59 AM She won checks in all 10 rounds. How is that being "conservative"? No sh!t SKM. You just don't do that riding conservatively with that level of competition. It's about being fast and consistent just like 1 rodeo doesn't determine a world chamption but it's a years worth of rodeos. She may not have run the fastest time of the week, but she drew a check every night. In that last round I probably would have ridden out into the parking lot as to not tip and protect that average money and the new truck Who was the last girl to place in all 10 rounds Was just over on FB and saw this on Sarah's page: They need to comment that the last horse to place in all 10 rounds was a full brother to Stingray's sire. That's cool. See that is exactly my point! Can you imagine Cody doing that or Billy Etbauer? H$:: no! That goes against there whole mentality. I've heard billy say many times he would rather hit the dirt than play it safe and not try for first every time out! And I think you could say he was a fairly successful NFR contestant! Lol

She obviously couldn't have been playin it to **** safe, she placed in every round, won more money then anyone else, including Trevor who was competing in two events. So just where did she play it safe? Just what didn't she do to satisfy you? Let me point this out to you, if Sherry hadn't been husseling Stingray into each barrel, she would have been knocking them out of the pen. Now you tell me just where Sherry played it safe?

10D Crack Champion	What would she have done differently in each run to show she was in your opinion giving 110%? I honestly thought she looked like she was going for first everytime.

Lol you realize you are in the minority? Although most on here disagree with my take on going for broke every round no matter what. Hardly anyone disputes that it appears her plan was to win or place high in the average and that her main priority wasn't to win 1st place go around checks after the third round or so.

Location: Texas	The only round that I saw Sherry even come close to playing it safe was the tenth round, and that is when she pushed her one more stride into second. You or anyone else for that matter, go back and watch all of her runs, then come back and tell me that Sherry wasn't "going for it". Like I said, not real sure what you think she should have done, she pushed/kicked her into each barrel, each run, what else would you have liked her to do? And I will say it again Sherry got 110% out of Stingray what Stingray had to give her each run!

I wish someone would follow all the people here to work every day and report back on if they thought said person was giving all they had to give at their job or not, and of course critique on how they could have done it better. Sherry & Stingray ran their hearts out every night. They were amazing to watch. People should be ashamed of themselves for thinking they have any right in the world to criticize any one of these 15 women for their riding the past two weeks.

But I will address a few of the statement since they seem to be building off one another. Sherry deserves the buckle, no argument there. And yes, she did set a new average record, and it's a great accomplishment. BUT as anyone can see times at the NFR continue to fall, and Sherrys fastest time was only the ninth fastest time at the finals this year! Well Sherrys average record be broken? I would bet it falls within the next five years! Was she running to win the average? Yes BUT after the second round I don't believe she was going for first in the rounds. Yes, she picked up another go around win in the 9 , but look at the time, she was lucky there. I stand by my observation, she wasnt pushing it to win first every round and I believe the data shows that! She was playing it safe as she could and still keep clean and fairly fast runs. Having said all that. I want to say again for the benifet of late comers, she had a great finals and is to be conrgulated for her contributions to the sport and I think she is a classy person. I will say it again, you obviously did not pay much attention the last ten days, or you seriously need to get your eyes checked. Since when did driving a horse clear up into the hole, on each barrel, on each run, compute to "playing it". Lol your funny. Did you just blow right by the data and things I said? Was sherry trying to win the average and go around money? Yes I believe she was. After the 3 or 4 round was she trying to win go rounds? No I don't think so. Like I said the fastest time she ran was the second round and it was only the 9th fastest time at the finals this year! Did her strategy work? Yes obviously! Sherry was not trying to win 1st every go around in my opinion, and I haven't seen anyone dispute that yet! Including you. With every post you are losing credibility. Your original argument was that she started playing it safe around the 4th round. You have switched that to saying she started being safe after the 2nd and 5th . . . exactly which round is it? Additionally, your original argument stated nothing about whether she was going for first in every round, only that she was riding conservative and not competing like the "men" do. I'm pretty sure the data you are referring to supports what others are saying and doesn't back up your argument at all.

Regular Posts: 87	runningk - 2013-12-15 6:14 AM The only round I felt she may have been conservative was the 10th. And after so many downed barrels, I don't blame her. Agreed! I thought she rode for a win many nights, scaring me a couple of times when she rubbed a barrel. But I don't really blame her for riding a little safe the last night, all she needed was to keep the barrels up to win a nice big average check.
