There have been two rounds in Cinch Playoffs Governor’s Cup history and Emily Beisel has won both of them, setting and then re-setting the arena record in the process.
The Oklahoma cowgirl followed up a 13.95 in Round 1 with a blistering 13.69 in Round 2 to win the round by nearly two tenths of a second.
“I’m having a blast, I came up here with my younger horse and I had high hopes for her, but you just never know,” Beisel said. “She’s been a rockstar, I’m tickled.
Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi and Wenda Johnson, fellow Top 10 cowgirls, split second in the round. With a second Go-Round win, Beisel has already won more than $18,000 in Sioux Falls and will likely go from No. 7 into the Top 5 by the end of the regular season.
Beisel, as well as Pozzi Tonozzi and Johnson, will be among the Top 8 cowgirls competing in Saturday’s Semifinals beginning at 7 PM CT/6 PM MT on The Cowboy Channel and Cowboy Channel+.
