A compilation judging analytics from open aged events in reining officiating from 2023 are analyzed and discussed. What do the results from this year's NRBC and 100X Stales say?   This episode compares the 2023 judging trends to the first half of 2024 open aged events.


The depth of Open competition continues to drive forward and set new trends and norms for the industry. This episode looks at the numbers set by 13 major events and over 2000 open entries in 2023 to create the standard.   We slice and dice the numbers and scores including penalties applied and not applied along with the maneuver evaluation decisions made. We look at the go rounds and finals of the 2024 NRBC and 2024 100X Cowtown Classic Stakes.

A new athletic discipline enters the market: we look at and discuss the new Ranch Fuel Super Slide as a new officiating scale is introduced.    We share and explain the stats of the officials performance and error rate in the open aged event.

The Show Rundown

  • 2023 Summary of standards and numbers as set by officials

  • Did the judges use the scale, and does it matter?

  • Over 88% of maneuver marks are scored between -.5 to +.5, even at the aged events

  • Does penalty application being non-unanimous affect the final scores? 

  • Crossing 0 and errors: why do they happen so much?  

This episode looks at the standards set by 2023 events and then discusses the 4 major events held so far this year. Graphs illustrates why the scores come out the way they do and how hard it is at the top of the class, including analytics for making the cut for finals or the cut for purse payout at events like The Run For A Million Qualifier at The Cactus Classic Reining and the NRBC.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
