An Explosive $12,500+ Paid Out at Blazin’ Barrels Kick-Off Record-setting high temperatures were conducive to some smokin’ runs at the first of four weekends of the Blazin’ Barrels Winter Buckle Series. The event which took place October 18 & 19 in Colorado Springs, was produced by TNT Events and the Presenting Sponsor for the weekend was the Midnight Rose Hotel and Casino, located in Cripple Creek, Colorado. Over $12,500 was paid out in cash and prizes and over 650 horses passed thru the arena gate! Fast-time of the weekend was turned in by Karen Turek who ran a sizzlin’ 15.141 to win the Open 4D on Sunday. The Open, Youth and Senior classes were all American West 4D sanctioned and some great daily awards were given out as well as some random draw prizes – goodies from Manna Pro, Classic Equine and Oster – just to name a few! Also, everyone entered in the Open 4D was put into a random draw each day for a pair of Justin Boots. Saturday’s winner was Brienna Wynn from Whitewater, Colorado, and Sunday’s lucky contestant was Pam Hoff from Windsor, Colorado. Justin Boot Company has graciously donated two pair of boots to be given away at each weekend of the Blazin’ Barrels Series. Don’t miss the next chance to win a pair of boots! Series-end awards will be given to 1st - 3rd place in each of the Open 4D Divisions. Bob Berg Buckles, custom-made breast collars and Wrangler jeans are some of the items up for grabs! Current buckle standings show a tie for the 1D Buckle between Karen Turek and Gayla Shaefer. Leading for the 2D Buckle is Laura Lambert. Ardith Bruce and Karen Taylor are in the running for the 3D Buckle and Karen Taylor is also at the head of the pack for the 4D Buckle! The “race” is on and you must enter at least 6 of the 8 races to qualify. So, mark those calendars now for the remaining 6 races of the Blazin’ Barrels Winter Buckle Series – November 15 & 16, January 3 & 4 and March 13 & 14! TNT Events is trying something new this series – based on number of entries, the Novice classes will be run as a straight jackpot, a 3D or even a 4D! The more entries, the more chances to win! Cowboy Church service is also held in the grandstands of the Indoor Arena each Sunday of the series at 9 am, everyone is invited to attend! TNT Events wants to recognize their sponsors as it would be impossible to produce these races without them! Presenting Sponsors for the series are Hitchin’ Post Trailer Sales, Corona Light, Palmer Lake Motors and Midnight Rose Hotel and Casino. Gold Sponsors include Manna Pro and First National Bank of Las Animas, La Junta and Monument. Awards are being donated by Manna Pro, Classic Equine, Wrangler, Cowboy Magic, Oster and The Flying W Ranch. TNT Events would also like to thank all of the competitors who came to “run in the sun”! An impressive 38 new names were added to the mailing list and we look forward to that trend continuing!
