Duke came back well rested and ready to run. Brittany was first out and her time stayed on top for the rest of the 14 runs behind her. They had a really awesome first barrel. Here is the video of the round 8 runs so you can watch it over and over :o) http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IR09R6dhIxA (Pardon the Cat….!?)

I’m not feeling real creative here today so I’m not going to reinvent the wheel. Here are some quotes from a story on Prorodeo.com<\/a> that should sum up what the scoop is:

Brittany Pozzi, the 2007 world champion barrel racer, won her second round of the 2009 Wrangler NFR by stopping the clock in 13.77 seconds. That was four-hundredths of a second better than Shelley Morgan and brought Pozzi a bit closer to reigning World Champion and world standings leader Lindsay Sears. Sears, of Nanton, Alberta, finished third in the round to earn $10,228 and holds a $4,796 lead over Pozzi in the world standings.<\/p>\n

“Tonight was amazing,” Pozzi said. “Duke ran great, and it all seemed perfect. Getting a barrel (knocked over in Round 7) did move me down one hole in the average, but it wasn’t devastating. I just have to run hard at each round and win. This is really a horse race, and it will come down to the last run. This is what winning a world title is about. It makes it all exciting and fun.”<\/p>\n

Sears, who has placed in every round and won Rounds 2 and 7, leads the average standings with a total time of 111.0 seconds, while Pozzi is fourth with a 116.6-second total time.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Steer Wrestling….
Branquinho, the two-time and reigning world champion, continues to lead the Wrangler NFR average standings with a total time of 34.0 seconds, but finished out of the money in Round 8. That allowed 2005 World Champion Lee Graves to re-take the lead in the PRCA World Standings by taking third place and pocketing $10,228 on Canadian Night at the Wrangler NFR. Graves, who sits third in the average, has $189,569 heading into Round 9, while Branquinho is second with $182,493.<\/span><\/p>\n
