Novice No Stranger to NFR Barrel Racer Digs in to Follow Men in Family to Ve Gas PROMOTIONAL SECTION Guest columnist Neal Reid returns NFR PAGE 3 LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL • THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2013 RODEO ROYALTY Novice no stranger to NFR Barrel racer digs in to follow men in family to Ve gas By PATRICK EVERSON LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL he National Finals Rodeo has been a way of life for Shari Rivera and Shada Brazile. The T mother and daughter have been coming to Las Vegas for years. In fact, Rivera has been at every NFR since the event moved to the Thomas & Mack Center in 1985. “I’ve never missed one. Someone in the family has always been competing there,” said Rivera, whose trips to the NFR actually began long before the event came to Las Vegas. Her father, Clifton Smith, 80, was a two-time NFR qualifier in tie-down roping in the 1960s. Rivera went on to support her former husband, superstar roper Roy Cooper, who won seven world titles in tie-down roping and the 1983 all-around crown, and her brother, Stran Smith, who won the tie-down world title in 2008. Then it was to root on her son-in-law, Trevor Brazile — Shada’s husband, who owns 18 world titles, including 10 all-around crowns. He’ll begin pursuit of his 11th all-around championship starting tonight. Then it was to cheer on her two sons, Clif Cooper (a four-time NFR qualifier) and Tuf Cooper (the two-time reigning world tie-down champ and six-time NFR qualifier), both competing in tie-down roping at this year’s NFR. Those two will be joined this year by Rivera’s PHOTO BY GREG WESTFALL/SPECIAL TO THE LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL nephew, Stetson Vest — if that name Shada Brazile rides Dial It in the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo in February. The wife of Trevor Brazile, who owns 18 world titles doesn’t just drip rodeo, then what does? and 10 all-around crowns, Shada is competing in her first National Finals Rodeo after winning $68,379 in her first year of barrel racing. — who just qualified for his first NFR.

    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.
