The Wilderness Circuit has become synonymous with standard patterns on consistent and even ground for WPRA barrel racers resulting in record breaking runs. This year the place was Heber City, Utah, and the jockey was Sydney Graham that made headlines.
Graham of Abilene, Texas, and her six-year-old stallion Dupont First continue to turn heads in the ProRodeo ranks and on August 1 at the Mountain Valley Stampede they put it all together in record setting fashion. The duo stopped the clock in 16.49 seconds to set a new WPRA standard pattern record, previously set last year in Burley, Idaho, by Makenna Shook and XV Mario in a time of 16.53 seconds.
โHonestly no it hasnโt,โ said Graham when asked if the record run had sunk in. โMy phone has absolutely blown up. It is a little wound up.โ
She went on to say, โIt is honestly crazy because I usually consider myself a nobody, so I am now like โwow we are somebody.โ
