Originally Miller was named the champion based on ground rules that gave the title to the person with the fastest time in earlier rounds of the rodeo. Lord and her horse Freckles Ta Fame, nicknamed Can Man, rounded the pattern in 17.22 seconds in the championship round, a time matched by reigning world and CFD champion Nellie Miller later in the event. While both women shared the final round’s first and second place prize money, Miller won the tiebreaker to be crowned champion based on having the fastest time in the earlier rounds. They rounded the pattern in 17.22 seconds, an identical time to that set by Shali Lord of Lamar, Colorado, seven runs earlier. She rode the blue roan mare named Rafter W Minnie Reba (called Sister) that she raised and trained. My horse loves big pens and she runs well here.” “This is such a traditional-filled rodeo,” Miller said. Shali Lord of Lamar, Colorado, was officially named co-champion of the barrel racing for 2019. The 2017 world champion, who is currently ranked second in the 2019 standings, won $20,697 dollars in Frontier Park, making her the highest money winner of the rodeo. Nellie Miller of Cottonwood, California, became the first barrel racer since Kristie Peterson in 1998 to successfully defend her CFD championship. He is currently ranked 28th and needs to be among the top 15 on September 30 to return to Las Vegas. The $12,585 Cress won in Frontier Park will help him on his quest for a third consecutive NFR qualification.
