Tracey Goodman checks in with OTRR!
Tracey Goodman and Biscuit
July 25- Philadelphia, Ms. PRCA ~ I love this rodeo. I love the atmosphere around here, the crowd, EVERYTHING! It’s great. Well, Biscuit warmed up great…which is an unusual thing. If he is a well behaved little boy, that can worry me. ha! Anyways, my sister and her fiancé went with me to this rodeo so they could experience this place! They are getting ready to start running us. Now Biscuit is waking up! My sister is leading him around to keep him moving while I’m getting myself ready on the ground. (My little ritual’s that are MUST DO’S. 
) Anyways, they call my name. I hop on and send him!! He makes a beautiful run…but catches the 2nd. Somehow, the good Lord was with me and helped me hold that can up. When that barrel finally sat still, the crowd, my sister and the announcer went WILLLLDD!! lol. Everyone thought it was down, including me. We come out with the winning time which made it even more exciting, but later, barely got outran by Jana Jarreau.

Like Father Like Son -Allan Bach and son Joel
Team roper Allen Bach has made 27 trips to the National Finals Rodeo, winning four world titles and earning more than $2 million.
A heeler, the 52-year-old is having the time of his life this year, roping with his son Joel, 20, the 2008 PRCA Rookie of the Year (header).
Father and son combined their talents Friday night at the Farm-City Pro Rodeo, turning in a run of 4.8 seconds to take over the lead in the second go-round.
“We have had a great summer,” Allen said. “I’m living the dream. I thank the Lord to have this opportunity. We’ve been talking about this forever. We are 33 years apart and I’m blessed to be healthy at my age. We have a shot at the Finals, but to end up in the top 25 against the best in the world would be great.”
The Bachs are less than $13,000 from the top 15, and with every rodeo their chemistry gets stronger.
“It’s really awesome to compete with your father,” Joel said. “He’s one of the best heelers there is.”
It was another rough night in the timed events — only two teams roped their calves — but for steer wrestler Dane Hanna of Starkville, Miss., everything went his way. (read more)
