That is certainly a tough group of barrel racers. Being consistent will win you way more money than a horse that runs top times a couple of times a year. All those horses are so solid. Rmrber I am having to watch the barrel race on YouTube the next day but it certainly looks like the fastest times are the first ones to run. Looks like the ground gets really shifty after the first five or six.
I think the last couple of nights the ground did get trashy.. |

I'm sure am missing watching Wade Sundell and Cody deMoss in the saddle bronc and Will Lowe in the bareback, they are alot of fun to watch.. 
But the Wright boys are just as fun too, alot of great riders in all the events. 
I was happy to see that wade is recovering ok.Its been a long road for him.I liked watching him ride.
He just seems like a really good ole boy..  |

Location: Too far from home | The whole 15 are worthy of winning the title, but my personal favorite is Jessica Routier. She'sa true blue person and is riding a horse owned by Gary Westergren (owner of Firewater Frenchman) who is the nicest guy in the world. Plus, she hauls her 3 littlest girls with her...like 3 & 4 years old, while her two oldest are at home going to school. Additionally, she's got futurity colts she's hauling for next year. Lisa is, of course, high on my list as she is a lovely person who has paid her dues. Pretty cool to see her on Cutter proving that she's able to train and jockey horses with vastly different styles. No matter what happens, its a great time of year for barrel racing!

Thank goodness no one/nothing was hurt. Hunter was determined to not let that steer go! And it motivated him for tonight's run. Does anyone know who's brand this is?

| The barrel racing is phenomenal. I still say the top 5 or 6 have good ground. After that it is pretty iffy. I would sure like to watch the whole rodeo. I have spent enough to pay for a trip to Las Vegas and still don't have it. I was able to get the football games on CBS SPORTS until the NFR came on now I can't get them either. Couldn't care less about football! |

I saw where he called him "Lex," so I bet you're right. |

Location: Randolph, Utah | What is the horse Stevie Hillman has been on? That horse acted like something was going on with the bit, or I thought so.
Where is Truck. I know he got hurt last year, but she mainly ran him all season, didn't she? |

Where is Truck. I know he got hurt last year, but she mainly ran him all season, didn't she? She left Truck home because of the alley. She has a video on her facebook introducing them all but I believe she said she ran "Perfecto." All cowbred gelding. Truck was her main mount for the year and another gelding Sherlock, we havent seen him yet. Not bashing but Stevi seems to struggle in the T&M. ETA: Shes been on 3 horses thus far. Perfecto the last 2 nights, a new mare of hers the night before (Millie maybe? ) and Sharpie before that.

Location: The Lone Star State | I love Stevie but I wish she would tie her right hand to her saddle horn. I know that she knows better and its just a habit but man its costing her so much $$. I can only imagine the pressure and nerves and habits are hard to break. Good luck to her tonight I hope she can mentallly get through it. |

I'd like to see her get on Sherlock. She ran him a fair amount and I think it may help to get on something more familiar to get her confidence back. All the horses she has are incredible, so much money she is missing out on because they can be in the money every round! |

I missed that video, I'll have to go watch it. I really like perfecto that she's ran the last couple nights, hopefully she can get some money won these last few rounds. I really like Sharpie, I wonder if she'll pull him out again. |
