Well … that was cool
I got to tell Sherry Cervi that she’d just won the WPRA barrel racing world championship.
That’s just Trevor
Trevor Brazile finished second in both tie down roping and team roping during Friday’s fifth go-round. That was worth $27,680. That’s almost as much as he won at the Lazy E Arena a month ago during the Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping, when he was the high-money winner. In nine nights, he’s pocketed more […]
Scheer rides Let ’Er Rip to win NFR’s ninth go-round
LAS VEGAS – Cort Scheer doesn’t look like much of a Wrangler National Finals Rodeo rookie.

Lady Luck finally finds Durfey during NFR’s seventh round
LAS VEGAS – Millions of people come to the Nevada desert every year in search of Lady Luck. Sometimes she’s a bit fickle.

Fennell battles through the pain to place in seventh round
