Moody wins Average, Brazile wins Triple Crown
Going into round 10 Jill Moody and Sherry Cervi were battling it out for the $44K + 1st place average cheque. One of them was going to take second. Fortunately for Cervi, tipping third barrel only cost her the average title and the difference in money from first and second. Cervi still got second in the average having been so tough all week. This is the second time Moody has won 1st in the average, this time with a record fast time on 10 runs.
In the round Angie Meadors and Mulberry tied Brittany Pozzi and Duke for first. Duke was firing on all cylinders for that run, much like we had anticipated he would at the beginning of the week. This world championship is Sherry Cervi's third win. She has won each on a different horse. Troubles, Hawk and now Stingray.
You can watch all the round winning runs HERE And for each of the events too.
Trevor Brazile won his second triple crown of championships yesterday. Having secured the all around earlier in the week, it came down to the last round in both the tie down and team roping events. Clay Tyran waved it off in the Team Roping to hand Trevor his first Team Roping World Championship. Brazile earned over $500,000 in 2010, $$211,509.40 of it at the NFR to win the Top Gun award which included a new Dodge Truck and goodies to fill it.
Two-time Triple Crown winner Trevor Brazile and his family work the red carpet at the PRCA 10th Night After-Party, Dec. 11 at the Mirage Hotel & Casino. Brazile’s wife, Shada, daughter, Stella Bell and son, Treston accompanied him to the party for 2010 ProRodeo world champions and their families.
The 2010 ProRodeo World Champions gathered together on a stage at The Mirage Hotel during The Official Wrangler NFR World Champion Awards Show and 10th Night After-Party, Dec. 11 in Las Vegas.

Harris (bull riding), Sherry Cervi (WPRA barrel racing), Trevor Brazile (all-around, tie-down roping and team roping), Patrick Smith (team roping, heeling), Dean Gorsuch (steer wrestling) and Bobby Mote (bareback riding). All the 2010 champions have previously won a gold buckle.
In Canadian News, Willy Cassidy received a standing ovation as Curtis Cassidy tipped his hat to the horse that has done so much for the Cassidy family. Willy will be retired now after this NFR. He went out with a bang helping Curtis win the round in 3.7 seconds. Willy is 24 years old and has help cowboys win 5 world championships and of course numerous Canadian championships.
In the Bareback, Dusty LaValley finished out of the money, but held 4th position in the average finishing 10th in the world with $135,467.39 in season earnings. Dustin Flundra wasn't able to mark a score in the 10th round. Finishing 16th with $58,353.20 won. Lindsay Sears spared Martha in the last round and ran Moe. He had a nice run, but out of the money. Cody Cassidy finished the year with $155,566.97 in earnings, Curtis with $166,775.34 only $20,000ish behind world champion Dean Gorsuch.

Cervi clinches World Championship
Two world championships were secured mathematically last night during round 9. JW Harris won the bull riding and Sherry Cervi the barrel racing. It won't be just the world championship buckle JW is packing home with him, he will also have to find room for his first born. His wife gave birth to their baby just a few days after they arrived in Vegas. She will be making her first rodeo appearance tonight and will watch her Daddy be crowded the world champion. This is Harris's third straight championship. The legendary Don Gay was the last bull rider to do this.
In barrel racing Sherry Cervi and Stingray placed fourth in the round securing the world championship. Angie Meadors and the gray mare Mulberry won the round with an impressive 13.59. Meadors stated in interviews it was a coin toss to decide which horse she was going to ride. Both horses have been running strong all week, but knocked barrels put a stop on the would have paychecks.
In the steer wrestling, Curtis Cassidy got on soon to be retired Willy to split the first and second place paychecks. Cassidy remains second in the PRCA World Standings, but is 13th in the average standings. He has now placed in four rounds, but also has three no-times. Luke Branquino had a no time, putting him out of the average and opening the door for others to take the world championship. Cody Cassidy split 4/5 and is now 3rd in the average. Dogger Dean Gorush is in the drivers seat going into round 10.
Calculators will be in use quite a bit during Round 10, including in the team roping. PRCA World Standings leaders Clay Tryan and Travis Graves won Round 9 in 4.2 seconds to hold onto their top spots, but the team of Brazile and Smith were second in the round in 4.3 seconds and remained second in the Wrangler NFR average standings. Tryan and Graves lead Brazile and Smith by roughly $13,000 apiece in the world standings, but are fifth in the average. The difference between fifth and second in the average payout is roughly $21,000, so Tryan and Graves will need some shifting to go on in Round 10 to claim the gold buckles.
In the saddle bronc Dusty LaValley placed 4th again to hold his 4th place average. Dustin Flundra failed to mark a score. Lindsay Sears and Martha finished out of the money. Martha slipped on her hind end going into her second barrel and Sears not worried about an average cheque held up on the way home.
Without further rambling, here is what you are looking for ;)

3 go round buckles and an arena record for Cervi
Sherry Cervi beat the current arena record at the Thomas and Mack in round 8. It was also her 3rd go round win. Cervi and her 8 year old mare MP Meter My Hay "Stingray" toppled the past NFR best of 13.52 seconds set by Brandie Halls and I Am Not Te (“Slim”) in 2006
“Warming her up, I knew it was either going to be really good or really bad,” Cervi said of the record-breaking run with Stingray. “She was feeling good, and I knew that she was going to run hard. I just try to make the same run that I do every night. Obviously, it was just a little bit faster.”
Here are the runs from round 8:

Cervi wins her second round
Round 7 Barrel Racing:
Sherry Cervi won her second round last night on her 8 year old mare Stingray. Cervi's $238,602 in earnings this season is $84,968 shy of Sears'' single-season earnings record from 2008 with three rounds and the average payout remaining. Sherry currently sits 3rd in the average, just .15 behind leader Jill Moody (Lisa Lockhart 2nd).
Lindsay Sears was second place last night with Lisa and Louie 3rd.
Check out this really cool video that was done by Classic Equine comparing Stingray and Sherry's last World Champion horse Hawk. Hawk is out of a 3/4 sister to Stingray. It amazes me the similarity in their style, but also how consistent Sherry is as a rider (10 years apart!)
In the steer wrestling Cody Cassidy placed 3rd and sits 3rd in average. Curtis Cassidy was just out of the money with a 4.8.
Dustin Flundra ended the round with a no score, but Dusy LaValley placed 4th with an 83.5 and moved into 4th in the average.
An interesting tidbit is that there are nine relatives of Grated Coconut to be at the Finals.
Here is the list of relatives and their ties to Calgary Stampede's Grated Coconut competing at the 2010 Wrangler NFR
Bareback riding
Coconut Roll – mother
Kauai Coconut – sister of Grated Coconut and daughter of Coconut Roll
Mad Money – daughter
Nightmare Rocket – son
Saddle bronc riding
Gross Beetle – half-sister
Gallant Warrior – half-brother
Knife Money – half-sister
Majestic Rocket – son (stud)
Mata Fact – daughter
Along with the nine relatives of Grated Coconut, Calgary Stampede had six other horses selected to the Wrangler NFR and a bull, Speed Dial.

Here Rodeo Video talks to Brenda Mays
Wearing 11-time World Champion Dean Oliver''s "lucky" 1958 world championship buckle, Cody Ohl won for the third consecutive night stopping the clock in 7.3 seconds in the Tie Down Roping.
You can watch the round winners for each event here at rodeo up.
Curtis Cassidy still leads the world standings but will need to win several rounds now to keep it since he is right out of the average. Brother Cody is currently 4th in the average.
Dustin Flundra and Dusty LaValley are struggling to light up the boards. Lavalley has placed 6th 2x and sits 7th in the average. In the Saddle Bronc, Dustin Flundra hasn't picked up a cheque, but sits 5th in the average. Lindsay Sears is 9th in the average now having tipped another barrel in round 6 with a time that would have split 3rd.

Willie remains solid, Size Matters disappoints
The Canadian contingent was off to a rough start last night at opening night at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
In the Bareback riding Dusty LaValley drew the Louisiana horse Size Matters. It was the horses first time to Vegas and was said to be a good draw, but as LaValley reported; "He didn't feel good. He had a couple of wiggles and was changing leads. I don't know how to explain it; he just didn't feel great. Whatever he was doing, he didn't fit my style." Read more
In the Saddle Bronc Dustin Flundra was also left looking forward to Friday's draw posting a 79 on opening nights Little Hawk.
In the Steer Wrestling, Cody Cassidy rode Willie for what was said to be "one last run" before retirement to clock a 4.6, just out of the money as the steer hung a leg resulting in a slow fall. Brother Curtis, who was leading the current world standings rode his gray horse Casper.
Casper had some opening night jitters having trouble settling in the box. An unfortunate combination of events (but with plenty of cowboy try) left Cassidy with a no time.
The Canadians then looked to Lindsay Sears and her mount Martha to bring home the gold, but the duo nudged first barrel on the way out to leave it on its side. Martha looked strong though and there is certain to be some round wins in her engine. Neither favorites Brittany Pozzi or Sherry Cervi managed to get in the money.
Past Canadian Champion Lisa Lockhart made the victory lap.

Thanks to YouTube user KaciEllenJ we are able to bring you the barrel racing! Lets hope we get this lucky every round! What a treat.
