Leslie Smalygo claimed fourth place in Round 1 of Bracket 6 and was looking for a win in Round 2 as she and her equine partner Gus stopped the clock in 16.65 seconds.
“He gives me his all, last night he got past first and he couldn’t hold, he just kept sliding but today he just decided that we’re gonna go out and make sure that you get in,” Smalygo said.
Smalygo will be advancing into the Semifinals with $2,500 earned alongside fellow barrel racer Rainey Skelton.
