“I’ve almost always flopped over the Fourth of July. “I did! That’s the first time that’s ever happened,” said Miller, wrapping up her seventh year on the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association tour. Miller followed Ponoka by pocketing a couple of checks totaling $2,400 at rodeos in Montana and Utah, helping end her Cowboy Christmas jinx. We won $17,000 for the week, the high money winner for the WPRA.” We walked out of there with a lot of money: $14,000. We won the first round, the short round and the average. This year, I really felt like my best bet was to go up to Canada, and not just for Calgary. I’ve never run there before, besides Calgary. “That’s why I chose to do the Canadian route this year. I won about $40,000 up there,” Miller said of a run that included the Fourth of July week - often dubbed Cowboy Christmas, with several key rodeos - and the week that followed at the prestigious Calgary Stampede. Canada in general was a game-changer for me. She earned $98,145 in the regular season to qualify seventh among the 15 barrel racers competing at the Thomas & Mack Center. What’s one got to do with the other? Well, without Calgary - and other Canadian rodeo outposts - Miller might not be in Las Vegas this week, making her first appearance in the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. More than 1,600 miles and 25 hours of drive time away is Calgary, Alberta. Baskow/Las Vegas Review-Journal) barrel racer Emily Miller, home is Weatherford, Oklahoma, population 12,000, located 70 miles west of Oklahoma City.
