The breakaway roping is coming back to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo for the second time ever but it is not happening at the Thomas & Mack just yet. The breakaway finals will be taking place at The Orleans Casino.
Shelby Boisjoli has been at the top of the standings the entire year and that is where she plans to stay. She has the horsepower and the roping ability the only thing between her and a World Championship is 10 rounds against the best 15 ropers in the world.
Behind her is another young gun, Sawyer Gilbert. Gilbert thrived at all rodeo set ups this year and she got the win in Pendleton. She is used to pressure, she has roped at the American and she will be fun to watch at the Orleans.
Included in the top 15 ropers in the world are some of the best ropers in history, Jackie Crawford, Lari Dee Guy and JJ Hampton to name a few. The field is set, is full of talent and the fastest event in rodeo will be one you do not want to miss if you’re in Vegas this December.
