This week’s Rundown kicks off with a shoutout to some standout performances before diving into the final stretch of the ProRodeo season, plus covers regional barrel racing events from across the country.

In Ocala, Florida, Sabra O’Quinn and Slicks Lil Amigo clocked the fastest run of the Pac West weekend against more than 800 entries. Amigo, the 11-year-old by Slick By Design out of Bough Chicka Wowwow (by Bully Bullion), is already the top-earning foal of Slick By Design with over $428,000 LTE, and he’s still proving he can win at the highest level.

At the Breeders Challenge Derby, Force The Goodbye (“Jarvis”) moved into the No. 2 spot on the all-time money-earning list, according to QData. With $1,856,569 in career earnings at just six years old, Jarvis now trails only DM Sissy Hayday ($3.4 million). Louie sits third with $1.8 million.

Rodeo Recap: Mandan Shakes Up the Bubble

• Austyn Tobey Wins Mandan: North Dakota Rough Rider Cup Barrel Racing Results
• What Happened in Mandan? WPRA President Weighs in on North Dakota Rough Rider Cup Ground

The spotlight was on Mandan, North Dakota, for the Roughriders Cup—the final Playoff rodeo with $60,000 added per event. Despite flash flooding earlier in the week, the ground held, and the competition was fierce.

• Austyn Tobey struck first, winning Mandan aboard TR Lying Badger (“BamBam”), by Lions Share of Fame out of TR Dashing Badger (“Dolly”), with an 18.06 worth $12,938. The pair proved their grit again by winning the next day in Minnesota—this time in a rain-soaked outdoor jackpot with more than 700 runs.

Bubble Movers

With just days left in the season, the race for the last NFR spots is as tight as ever:

• Wenda Johnson and Mo added nearly $11K across Mandan, Amarillo, and Omaha, climbing solidly into No. 12.
• Katelyn Scott jumped from No. 16 to No. 13 after tying for second at Mandan ($10,027), placing third in Omaha, and reserve champion in Tyler. She banked over $13K on the week.
• Julie Plourde cashed at five rodeos for almost $6K, holding at No. 14 and unofficially clinching Sioux Falls.
• Tricia Aldridge is projected at No. 15 with $115,269, while McKenna Coronado ($113K) and Halyn Lide($112,700) are right on the bubble.

With Pasadena, Mona, and Sioux Falls still ahead, every run matters. Sioux alone offers $155,555.55 added, with potential $40K+ wins in a single shot.

Weekend Winners Coast to Coast

• Nampa Xtreme Million (Idaho) paid out nearly $1 million in 2025. Kathy Grimes and KG Just Money claimed more than $25K, while Lily Wright and Fabulous Golden Honey topped the charts with $33,910 in total earnings.
