Location: Oklahoma | Does anyone have the most updated standings? I know Fallon was second behind Kaley and $5k difference, but I'm curious if someone else went into second and where Kassidy stands now. |

The WPRA website stays updated pretty well. http://www.wpra.com/nfr_results_2014_rd2.asp

| Bibliafarm - 2014-12-06 8:45 AM One of the riders said they had added more sand before the event.. dont quote me on that though.. In last night round win interview Lisa Lockhart was asked about the ground. She said the horses were all having trouble with it. She said she didn't know why it was like that. She said didn't know if they had added more sand this year or what. Me- I hope they soak the darn thing, pack it, and start over.

| I hope the power of social media garners some changes for the girls in the ground conditions.
That said, I understand they are an invited entity being WPRA and don't want to rock the boat, but if I was one of the 15 having to make the decision of running my good horse on that...well there would be a meeting in my hotel room where hopefully all 15 of us would attend. And I would have 15 ponies lined up for everyone to draw out of a hat. That's what we would be running until the ground was fixed, it would still be good watching:) |

| I have attended both perfs 7 rows up at first barrel. First night ground was crap. Last night ground was not bad. Not great, but not dangerous. Just slow. Way better than a lot of rodeo ground these ladies have run on thruout the year to make the NFR. |

That is a good idea.  Or all 15 go in a LOPE the barrels.  But, it wouldn't work cause there are too many who want to win. They will run regardless of the concequences.
Rnd 1, 5 hit barrels
Rnd 2, 8 hit barrels.
What does that tell ya'?

| MC1993 - 2014-12-06 1:07 PM I am interested to see if anyone will boycott by drawing out of a round... For that money, I doubt anyone would not run. I could some making a horse change if needed, but skipping it altogether is unlikely I would think.

| I saw a post on FB with a picture of the T&M saying that they have been working on the ground since 5AM- water and packing it.
" have been working this arena since 5 a.m this morning. Lots of water. Lots of hard packing. Your welcome Karl. I honestly didn't think the wpra and the prca spoke."

Location: where ever my L/Q trl is parked | the announcers which one I can't remember said more than once the ground was dry and the horses were slipping around the second barrel along with the first. I applaud all the rider's/horses for doing their best with what they have to work with. |

| It definitely takes the fun out of it... its hard to watch. I think that Nancy Hunter's horse seems to be handling it pretty well. he seems more "floaty" and I wonder if that's saving him a bit. He's a cool horse to watch, I've never seen him run before. Rootie had a nice run both rounds but she's not clocking either.
What I think is kinda awesome though is Stingray... just because I am more familiar with her style I can see the changes. She is definitely changing her method a bit, shes coming off 1 a bit wider than normal but seems to be avoiding that slick spot. Or maybe Sherri is doing it but either way its kinda cool (being optimistic) to see those adjustments. |

Apparently this was his version of a joke. |

Location: Willows, CA | I was there on Thursday. When they did the Grand Entry that first night you could not see across the inside of the building because of all the dust. It took an hour for the air to clear. I have never been in there with the dust that bad. Very very dry. I hope the get a handle on it tonight, and that no horses get hurt.

So this guy has nothing to do with the ground? He was just joking about working the ground today? |
