Canadian Rodeo Contestants are "Tough Enough"

The Tough Enough To Wear Pink Night of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo was a profitable one for Canadian contestants. I guess PINK is their color! Rod Hay continues to be the only contestant to place in every round and is also the only saddle bronc rider to ride all 7 horses. In round 7 he tied for 5th place. Rod currently sits $37,000 behind the leader in 5th spot. Mathematically the championship is within reach. If Rod keeps up his winning ways and the boys between him in the gold buckle fade it will be his. One ride at a time, Rod Hay will take fate into his own hands and continue to cash in.

How bout those barrel racers!!!??? Can't help but be patriotic! Go Canada! 1 and 2 last night, Lindsay and Deb were out for gold!

Lindsay clocked in with a 13.64 and Deb with a 13.83
Smoken hot in pink....here is Lindsay's run


Brittnay Pozzi-Phar has passed the $200,000 mark for her year to date earnings with Linz, behind her in second for 183,464. The gold buckle is certainly a possibility for Linz, but with Brittnay leading the average (and Linz in 7th), having the "chips" "fall" in her favor would certainly help. Linz will keep running for round wins hope the everything adds up in her favor. With over $70,000 won in Vegas so far, it looks like lady luck is on her side!

In the steer wresting Canada's Lee Graves is also 7th in the average, but proved pink really is his color by placing second in the round with a 3.9 behind Stockton Graves 3.7. Lee will continue to go for the big money in every round. He does lead the world standings at this time, but many of the average leaders are hot on his heels.

Last night Canadian bucking horse Street Dance (Kesler Rodeo) took Wrangler NFR Rookie Just McDaniel to a bareback win with a 89.5 point ride.

OK - Canadian rodeo fans....we've got contestants in 3 events and 3 Gold Buckles within reach! Get your pom poms out and get ready to be an armchair cowboy! 3 more rounds, lots more money up for grabs. Go Team Canada!
