See full Calgary Stampede results and how each barrel racer qualified.

Lisa Lockhart: Rosas Cantina CC

Lockahrt is making a horse change for championship Sunday. She rode Promise Me Fame Guys “Levee,” in her Pool, but is pulling out Rosas Cantina CC for the Finals.

Kassie Mowry: WildChildsGotCashUno “JJ”

That’s right. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Famous Ladies Man “Emmitt,” whom Mowry won the 2022 Calgary Stampede aboard will not be in attendance on Championship Sunday. Instead, she will be borrowing Kelly Allen’s “JJ,” who just missed advancing with Allen after a downed barrel that would have turned in one of the fastest times this year at the Stampede in her Pool.
