RACERS WITH PBRIP AT THE WORLD SHOW by Alannah Castro, Paint Horse Journal • Photos by Larry Williams Photography
Speed was the name of the game on
Nov. 6 when barrel racers took over the Will Rogers Coliseum at the 2016 APHA World Championship Show. The next generation took center stage first in the PBRIP 4- & 5-Year-Old Barrel Racing Futurities for Regular Registry and solid Paint-bred horses.
Carol Waters of Red Rock, Oklahoma, and Speedin For Cash rocketed to a 1D win in the PBRIP 4- & 5-Year-Old Barrel Racing Futurity, earning a check for more than $1,600* and other awards; they also snagged the Farnam Fast Time $1,000 Bonus with a time of 15.792. The homebred 2012 sorrel tobiano mare is by Got Caught Speedin (QH) and out of Cash Sign.
“She worked really well in the arena. I got tight on all three barrels,” Carol said. “It was a fun experience.”
Stacy Fish and Angel Fire Bug earned the 1D championship in the PBRIP 4- & 5-Year- Old Solid Paint-Bred Barrel Racing Futurity, taking home a check for more than $900* and other prizes. A 2011 bay solid mare by Lucky Bug Pilgrim and out of Angel Fire Dream (QH), Angel Fire Bug was bred by Donna Pierce of Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
“For a young mare who has fewer than 20 runs on her, I think she did pretty well today,” Stacy said.
In the PBRIP Barrel Racing Sweepstakes, Peter Oen of Howell, Michigan, and French Prospector clocked a :15.846, taking home two titles for their efforts; not only the 1D PBRIP Sweepstakes, but also the inaugural PBRIP World’s Fastest award—special recognition
for the team with the highest average time in the PBRIP Sweepstakes and any APHA world championship class at the show. The duo earned a check for more than $1,100* along with the Farnam Fast Time $2,000 Bonus and a trophy barrel saddle courtesy of Elite Custom Saddles. The 2011 palomino overo gelding by Frenchmans Guy (QH) and out of Alakazam was bred and is owned by Jessica Johnson of Oakfield, Tennessee.
Carol Waters and 2012 mare Speedin For Cash won the PBRIP 4- & 5-Year-Old Barrel Racing Futurity as well as the Farnam Fast Time $1,000 Bonus with a time of :15.792.
