Red River Barrel Racing
By Krista Lucas Wynn
Ardmore, Okla., was the place to be Sept. 22-25 for barrel racing trainers, competitors and owners. The Ardmore Barrel Futurity was conducted at the Hardy Murphy Coliseum for a weekend full of some of the toughest competition in the country.
The event featured Open races, a futurity, derby, American Quarter Horse Association classes, and an American qualifier. In the first round of the Futurity, Schelli Creacy ran a super fast 14.6 on Seayainlajollaeddie, to win the round for $3,632. In the second round, it was two-time Women’s Professional Rodeo Association world champion Brittany Tonozzi taking the win. Tonozzi, who now resides in Lampasas, Texas, rode Blazin Babe Olena to a 14.6 second run and $3,632.
Ashley Schafer claimed the average title for the Futurity, aboard Born On Derby Day. The five-year-old mare and Schafer, of Comanche, Texas, have been winning everywhere they go. The pair placed third in the first round and second in the second round, earning more than $10,000 total for their efforts.
