The 2026 Ruby Buckle East runs August 20–23 at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter in Perry, Georgia, with $1,220,000 guaranteed across the futurity, derby, youth, Rookie Ruby and Open 5D. It is the third-richest weekend in barrel racing and the last of the Ruby Buckle’s three stops this year, after the Central at the Lazy E Arena in April and the West in South Jordan, Utah. Ruby Buckle East results are below, updated as each round is completed.

The derby and futurity each run two rounds with an average. The Breeder’s Open — the side race for horses that are not Ruby Buckle enrolled but whose owners hold a 2026 breeding contract to a Ruby Buckle stallion — is a single round with no average. Every division below lists the top five.

So far the quickest run of the Ruby Buckle East has come out of the futurity pen: Cassie Morton and SS I Am Misty at 14.821, .023 faster than anything the derby horses have produced.

Morton won the first round in 14.821 on SS I Am Misty (RR Mistakelly x Mcm Shes Slick x Slick By Design), a 2022 gray mare bred by Pamela Smith of Fredericktown, Missouri and owned by Josh P Morton of Jackson, Tennessee. The run paid $8,000 to the owner and put $1,000 apiece into the stallion and breeder accounts.

Ninety-four thousandths of a second covered the top three. Brittany Dallaire was second on Chasin That Dollar (This Fame Is On Fire x Driftin Ballet x Driftinwinner) in 14.857, a chestnut mare she bred herself and owns with Norman Dallaire, and Kappie Bryant was third on RDC Nofunnybidness in 14.915 for owner Kenneth D Lee.

Traffic Guy put two in the top six. Darla Hoover was fifth on CT Sassy Traffic in 14.952, and one spot back in 14.978 was a name worth circling — CT Delight and DaCota Monk, who won the futurity average at the Ruby Buckle West earlier this summer.

The Breeder’s Open is the side race at each Ruby Buckle stop, open to horses that are not Ruby Buckle enrolled but whose owners hold a 2026 breeding contract to a Ruby Buckle stallion. Unlike the derby and futurity, it is a single round with no average, and it runs a four-division format that pays five holes in each D.

PC Frenchmans Hayday swept the 1D. Cassidy Deen won it on Outta Clear Blue (PC Frenchmans Hayday x Favorite Six x Sixes Pick) in 14.983 — a time that would have tied for second in the derby’s first go — followed by Frostonafrenchcomet (PC Frenchmans Hayday x Spit N Image x Hileah Streak) in 15.107 and Hayday At Six, ridden by Donna C Murphy, in 15.298. All three are by the same stallion.

Will Harrington led the 2D in 15.512 on Zeros French Socks (BHR Frenchies Socks x HF Famous Zero x Famous Jr) for Kaitlin Brooke Gann, with Fallon Taylor second on her own Three Times The Fury (Furyofthewind x Three And Out x Tres Seis) in 15.541.
