3 go round buckles and an arena record for Cervi

Sherry Cervi beat the current arena record at the Thomas and Mack in round 8. It was also her 3rd go round win. Cervi and her 8 year old mare MP Meter My Hay “Stingray” toppled the past NFR best of 13.52 seconds set by Brandie Halls and I Am Not Te (“Slim”) in 2006

“Warming her up, I knew it was either going to be really good or really bad,” Cervi said of the record-breaking run with Stingray. “She was feeling good, and I knew that she was going to run hard. I just try to make the same run that I do every night. Obviously, it was just a little bit faster.”

Here are the runs from round 8:
