NOVEMBER 29, 2016 Volume 10: Issue 48 In this issue... • Barrel Horses of the NFR, pg 31 • Fiddlers Turkey Run, pg 34 • Gobble Up the Cash, pg 39 • Barrel Bash, pg 43 fast horses, fast news • Turkey Run Classic II, pg 44 Published Weekly Online at www.BarrelRacingReport.com - Since 2007 It’s Finally Here, the 2016 WNFR It is the most wonderful time of year… For all of us rodeo junk- ies, that means it’s just a few long days until the first round of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR)! For the second year in a row, the WNFR pays a record $10 mil- lion and the barrel racers are running at an amazing $1.1 million. The huge boost in prize money led to 5 barrel racers winning over $100k & 8 barrel racers winning more than $80k at the 2015 WNFR. This was the toughest year in history to make the WNFR in bar- rel racing, in fact it took a record $79,068 just to make the Finals, this was almost $20k more than in 2015. On top of that, world leader Mary Burger became the all time regular season earnings record holder and became the 3rd barrel racer to wear the #1 on her back with her $190,977 in 2016 earnings (others are Charmayne James, 1987, Sherry Cervi, 1995). So it really was a record breaking year in 2016. On that note, Mary Burger will set another record when she runs down the alley Thursday night as being the oldest NFR contestant (either male or female) at 68 yrs old. This year’s crop of WNFR barrel racing qualifiers contain a mix of fresh faces and veterans; from the 6 first time WNFR qualifiers all the way up to Sherry Cervi who qualified for her record tying 19th WNFR (tied with Charmayne James). The horses they all plan to ride show a similar pattern; a mix of up and coming young horses and experienced veterans who have been down that alley so much they know every nook and cranny of the Thomas & Mack. Every year we have fun bringing you a little preview of the Top 15 and pointing out some interesting facts and info about each rider and horse, along with whatever information we feel might affect the race for a World Title. 2016 has been the year of Mary Burger and Mo (Sadiefamous- lastwords)! They won Rodeo Houston to finish out their winter and then went up to Canada in the summer and won Calgary too. They just kept placing everywhere in between on their way to a record breaking regular season haul of $190,977 and the #1 spot in the World. The $75k lead they have on the field going into the finals will definitely give Burger a leg up towards a 2nd world title, her last was in 2006 on Rare Fred. However, with each round paying over $26k and the average title paying over $67k, it is still anyone’s game. Last year, 8 different barrel racers won over $80k so Burger favor. Burger is a fierce competitor and has an amazing ability to get will need to keep winning over the 10 days to keep out in front. the absolute best out of a horse. Finally, as the oldest competitor to Although, Mo is only 7 years old and coming off a slight injury, he ever make the WNFR, experience is on her side! and Burger have been incredibly consistent all year and he seems Coming in #2 in the World is 2nd year WNFR qualifier, Jackie to just get stronger the more he runs in one arena. This was true at Houston & Calgary both, so the 10 rounds should work in their NFR 2016 Q&A Continued on Page 6 Note: Each category DOES inlcude the 2015 futurity horses 2015 BFA futurity earnings.
