Kassie Mowry rode her 5-year-old sensation, Force The Goodbye to another round win inside the Thomas & Mack in Round 9 of the 2023 event.

“What is up with Jarvis right now?” Mowry said. “He’s going beast mode!”

Beast mode is right. So far, the fastest two times over nine rounds belong to Mowry. She began the week on CP He Will Be Epic, the giant grey gelding known as “Will,” and then swapped to Jarvis partway through. Between both geldings, Mowry has banked $138,273.73 during her 2023 NFR.

Check out Mowry’s full interview with a special appearance from legendary photographer, Kenneth Springer, brought to listeners by Equinety.

The wicked fast round saw 2021 World Champion, Jordon Briggs kick things off with her best time of the week, a 13.48-second run, then Lisa Lockhart come in to smoke a 13.41 just a few runs later, before Mowry answered back with the 13.37 that earned her No. 1.

Hailey Kinsel came in aboard DM Sissy Hayday with her best time over nine rounds so far, a 13.51 to secure the fifth-place position, and Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi held onto her aggregate lead from the No. 15 position on the ground with a smooth, safe 13.68-second time.
