A win in round 4 put Lee Graves back on top of the World standings. He also leads the average by .10 at this point. A 5th/6th place for Curtis Cassidy keeps him .10 behind Graves in the Average. Steer Wrestling standings here
Here is Lee's winning run:
Cassie Moseley took the victory lap in the barrel racing for round 4. Here is her winning run:
Here are the rest of the runs (Cassies first gets cut off so I figured I would include both)
The World standings look like this going into round 5:
1 POZZI, BRITTANY $200,095.73
2 SEARS, LINDSAY $186,554.30
3 BURGER, MARY $129,476.04
4 CERVI, SHERRY $111,125.01
The Average looks like this:
Lindsay Sears 55.86/4 1
Sherry Cervi 55.93/4 2
Brittany Pozzi 55.98/4 3
Lisa Lockhart 56.72/4 4
Jordon Peterson 56.80/4 5
Mary Burger 56.99/4 6
Bottom line.....there are 6 runs to make and ANYTHING can happen.
The Saddle Bronc was won on a Canadian Horse last night and so was second place:
1 Jesse Kruse 90.0 Calgary Stampede/Hell''s Half Acre $17,139.42
2 Taos Muncy 88.5 Calgary Stampede/Mata Fact $13,545.67
Unfortunately Dustin Flundra didn't get a score.
Tonight's rodeo will be round 5 marking the half way point of the WNFR. I give these people and their horses so much credit for having the stamina to make all 10 rounds. What a marathon!

First Canadian World Champion Barrel Racer Crowned
Lindsay Sears and Martha are the first Canadian World Champion Barrel Racing team - that is SO EXCITING. I had a feeling all day she was going to break the world record time so I'm feeling a little disappointed she didn't. I mean....she broke every other record! ? Weird how when someone gets so darn good our (my) expectations just keep getting higher and higher. Good for her for letting someone else win for a change though eh? (threw that eh in there for our US visitors...they liked that in Vegas..lol). Martha won 5 of the 10 rounds and placed 3rd in the average even with a tipped barrel.
From www.prorodeo.com
Barrel racer Lindsay Sears clinched her first world title after Round 8, so the only question remaining in that event was how much the Canadian would win and how high she would set the season earnings record bar. Sears, of Nanton, Alberta, finished the season as the sport's first $300,000 barrel racer, earning $323,570 in 2008 while claiming the gold buckle. Her horse, Martha, was named AQHA Barrel Racing Horse of the Year, and Sears has been more than complimentary when talking about the talented horse.
"I''m very honored and very proud to be Canadian today, and it means a lot to get the first barrel racing world championship that we get to take home to Canada," said Sears, who finished third in the Wrangler NFR average. "It''s been such a surreal year this year. It''s unbelievable. I''m so thankful that I have such an awesome horse. Martha''s really the world champion. She deserves it, and I''m so proud of her."
Sears won five of the 10 rounds in Las Vegas, including four in a row from Rounds 6-9, to pocket $139,002 at the Wrangler NFR. Jill Moody of Letcher, S.D., won the Wrangler NFR average with a total time of 140.11 seconds, earning $104,117 in Las Vegas to finish a distant second to Sears with $218,880 in total earnings. Terra Bynum won the 10th round in 13.70 seconds to finish her 2008 Wrangler NFR on a high note.
Here is the link to Lindsay's round 9 win I missed earlier
And how about Rod Hay - Finally able to show is stuff in the 10th round drawing well to take the win with an 89 point ride on Miss Congeniality. Here is the link. Jeff Chapman won another round in the 10th with a 7.1.
Canadian Barrel Racers Traci Dawson and Deb Renger weren't able to add any more money to their bank account in the last round. Dawson with a Barrel and Renger with another solid run - just out of the money.
Dusty LaValley didn't take any coin home in the last round, but will gladly take his third place average check from the pay window.
Curtis Cassidy ended the week with a bit of tough luck, but the Cassidy family will still be well paid as Willy was hard at work all week helping the new world champion Luke Branquino. Cassidy will be happy to have taken a 4th place cheque home in the final round.
World Champions include:
2008 World Champion Bareback Rider: Justin McDaniel
2008 World Champion Steer Wrestler: Luke Branquinho
2008 World Champion Header: Matt Sherwood
2008 World Champion Heeler: Randon Adams

For Graham and a bit of round 9 reporting
Graham, here's some team roping reporting for you....
Sadly, I'm home from Vegas...its 2 am here (but only midnight in Vegas so I'm wide awake).
LAS VEGAS - The grandest stage in ProRodeo can often inspire greatness, and that certainly was the case in the team roping during Round 8 of the 50th Wrangler National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas & Mack Center. Travis Tryan and Cory Petska not only won the round, but also thrilled the 17,463 in attendance by tying the PRCA world record with a blistering 3.5-second time. Their mark ties the record shared by Blaine Linaweaver and Jory Levy (2001), Clay Tryan and Patrick Smith (2005) and Colter Todd and Cesar de la Cruz (2008).
It was the first round victory of the 10-day rodeo for Tryan and Petska and just their third check in the first eight performances, but they made it count in a major way.
"It's the coolest feeling I've ever had in my roping career," said Tryan, of Billings, Mont. "I got emotional after the run. I threw my hat, and I never do that. I had a feeling tonight that we were going to break the record, which I've never had before in my life, and can't explain why. When I was riding up to the box, I was thinking we were going to get the record. We had a great steer that stayed straight, maybe even stepped to the right a little, which helped us be fast because it helped my horse quicken up a little because he doesn't duck too hard, so it made things happen fast."
Petska is honored to have a share of the world record.
"I don't think it's set in yet that we just tied the world record," said Petska, of Lexington, Okla. "I got a little emotional at first. I was the same as Travis said, when we started to do the TV interview, I was a little worried that I would choke up. You own a piece of history."
Trevor Brazile and Patrick Smith continue to lead the Wrangler NFR average race and are on pace to crush the average record of 59.1 seconds for 10 head set by Jake Barnes and Clay O'Brien Cooper in 1994. They have a 41.4-second total through eight rounds and need only to finish the final two rounds in less than 17.6 seconds to lower the record mark.
Here is the link to that Run
Lindsay and Martha keep setting records and keep getting faster. Looks like they made another awesome run in the 9th round (will link tomorrow when its up). A 13.53 The world record is a 13.52 set by Brandie Halls (to correct any misleading info I might have posted earlier...). The 10th round will have the crowd on their feet cheering for the fastest time ever in the Thomas and Mack
Rod Hay and Dusty LaValley both grabbed cheques in the 9th round and Curtis Cassidy was empty handed with a NT. Deb Renger and Traci Dawson each took a barrel down according to Friday's results.
There are also some great interviews with round winners from the WPRA if you might like to read those...click here

Live from Las Vegas - Barrel Racing Video Catch Up
Brittany Pozzi-Pharr took another round last night in the 5th go. Click for the link to her winning run and watch for a video of the fifth round coming soon.
None of the links on the prorodeo.com page seem to be working for me to give you the official results. I watched the rodeo live last night from Toby Keith's Bar and Grill. It was pretty cool. We taped the barrel race for you guys on a digital camera but it turns out my friend brought the TV cord instead of the computer cord and our cards don't swap out to my camera and my computer isn't reading the card. Technology...good when it works. We will try my camera tonight and see how we do. Right now I'm off to find some rodeo tickets and do some shopping. We were late getting to the ticket exchange yesterday and they were closed. Did a little preliminary scooting of the original Cowboy Christmas...I'm pretty sure I'll find something there to bring home!
Oh...the results from last night....
Lindsay was second behind Pozzi-Pharr. Deb Renger had a nice run, just a little long and Traci Dawson tipped. Doc kind of bumped second with his nose on the way in by the looks of it. Looked like that knocked the wind of Traci's sails and she got 3rd too. I hope she can stay strong and pull off a run we all know she can make soon. Curtis Cassidy made a clean run, but out of the money. Dusty LaValley had a crappy draw but rode it for all it was worth and placed 6th. Rod Hay rode, but we don't think he scored high enough to place, if he did it was lower.
Our YouTube friend has caught up on some of the goes so I've put her links in below.
Round 4 - part 1
Round 4 - part 2
Round 3
Hopefully we can get a camera to cooperate and we'll get some pictures on here too!
Cheers from Vegas!

Sears is back on top......
A shakey start to the NFR had left Lindsay Sears without a cheque in the first and second round. Looks like they are back in business running a time of 13.91 to win the third round. The duo should be back on track and soon to see the winners stage again soon. Traci Dawson had some rough luck loosing a stirrup at first and taking down the second barrel. Deb Renger made another solid run on Harley remaining one of the few with all the barrels standing.
Our YouTube source has yet to post the barrel racers from round 3, but I'll keep checking in. It's Sunday morning so maybe they didn't get them posted yet. Until then, here's the link to Linz and Martha's winning run and the rest of the winning runs from the night.
Here is an interview where they talk to Lindsay. She gets asked what happened in her first two runs.
The Canadian roughstock riders continue with a some tough luck at the pay window but we're sure to see a turnaround real soon.
Curtis Cassidy remains solid placing 5th again last night and sitting third in the avearge. The Cassidy horse Willy continues to show why he's the best of the best carrying the top 3 riders in the finals average right now.

Canadians Solid during first round of National Finals Rodeo
Jill Moody's round 1 winning run The barrel racing video will come up and there will be other events and their winning runs on the right.
Keep checking back to that site www.rodeoup.com they add the winning runs every night or next morning.
Barrel Racing Round 1 results Click to go to that results page and there will be links to all the other events.
On the Canadian barrel racing front Lyndsay Sears and Deb Renger ran matching times of 14.24. Linz on Martha and Deb on her 6 year old Harley. Traci Dawson ran Rana Walter's gelding Doc for a 14.00 +5. The would have shoulda coulda won the round minus the tip. Good things to come for that pair when they leave the barrels up in the next round! Brittaney Pozzi tipped her first barrel in 21 runs at the NFR, this will make it harder for her to overtake Lindsay Sears for the world championship. Stich and Brittaney are known to make their big check in the average race, not by winning rounds (like Linz and Martha). Should be interesting to see how the week plays out.
Curtis Cassidy got second in the steer wrestling, but the Cassidy horse Willy was the big winner of the night placing 3 times for over $30,000 in earnings! Dusty LaValley, 10th with an 81 point ride.

Martha has a New Barrel Racing Show
Take a back seat Martha Stewart because Martha Sears and her jockey Lindsay are the new hit series!
Here's a look at ANOTHER fantastic run:
This win puts Lindsay at the top of the world standings with $216,253.30 in earnings to date. She and Martha have won $104,711.30 of that at the NFR. A world championship is a possibility, but Brittnay Pozzi-Phar is sure to have something to say about that.
In the steer wrestling Lee Graves split 4th last night, stills sits 7th in the average and sits at the top of the World Standings for another day. Lee will be looking for a win Saturday night to help stay ahead of the guys in the average.
Rod Hay rode another one last night to remain the only SB rider to ride all 9. He has a high enough score in the average, the average win should be secure. A lot will depend on how Cody DeMoss rides tonight as he is 2nd in the average and ahead of Rod in the world standings.
Saturday night will be a big night in all the events as there aren't too many that have the gold buckle sewn up. Time will tell if the long shots will be able to get'er done.

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.

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.
