Spurred to Victory: Michelle Darling Scores Reno Rodeo’s Silver Spurs

Darling’s summer run is sizzling thanks to a coveted Reno Rodeo title aboard her sensational mare Martini.

If the Reno Rodeo, held June 17-25, 2022, at Reno Livestock Events Center is any indication of how tough it’s going to be to make it to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo come December, barrel racing fans are in for great watching this summer.

In Reno, each of the eight perfs and their corresponding morning slack sessions saw the 96 qualifying card holders achieving consistent low 17’s and faster on the standard pattern. Reno Rodeo boasted $62,500 in added prize money for the barrel racers and by the time the finals for the top 12 had arrived on Saturday, June 25, a 16.85 by Megan McLeod-Sprague had already lit the leaderboard. Reigning Women’s Professional Rodeo Association World Champion Jordon Briggs and Famous Lil Jet (“Rollo”) duplicated that time in the short go, which they won. But in the end, no one was faster on three runs than Michelle Darling, Medford, Oklahoma, and Morning Traffic (“Martini”) with their 51.37.

Darling, who was bound for the St Paul Rodeo when Barrel Racing Magazine caught up with her, says she’s still wrapping her head around the win.

“After I ran and heard I’d bumped up to the top of the average by 1/100th of a second, I was like ‘no way,’” said Darling. “I was literally getting ready to walk back to the trailer when they put me on top of the leaderboard. I was still in shock; I just didn’t think I was going to win it. I thought Jordon had us beat.”   

After traveling from rodeos in North Platte, Nebraska, and Pleasant Grove, Utah, the week prior, Darling arrived in Reno with a little time to regroup.

“I got there on Monday, so Martini had all week to rest,” Darling said. “I didn’t run until Friday. We ran that morning in slack, and she won the first round then came back on our second run in the perf and ran a [17].3. We ended up being third in the average going into the short go. Honestly, it was tough, it was just a knife-fight. We were all so close on our times, there wasn’t really a big gap.”

Darling’s round one time of 17.00 was worth $4,610, while third in the finals with her 17.050 paid $1,707. The all-important aggregate earned her $6,915 for total Reno earnings of $13,232. Darling is eighth in the WPRA World Standings with $43,848 as of June 27.

Darling knew she had to be solid and fast in the finals, especially considering she was late in the draw order, but didn’t necessarily bank on taking the Silver Spurs home.

“I was 10th on the ground in the short round, so I was like, ‘just go for that average check and do the best you can do,’” she said, outlining her strategy. “I didn’t add up what I needed to do to win it, I just wanted to go make a good run. After Stevi (Hillman) ran the 16.90, I was like ‘oh my gosh, that was fast,’ then Jordon [Briggs] backed it up with a [16].8, and I was like, ‘she just won Reno,’ and I hadn’t run yet.”

| FAST FACT: Terri Kaye Kirkland holds the Reno Rodeo arena record, a 16.73-second run from the second go round back in 2006. Hailey Kinsel came closest to catching it in 2021 with a 16.74.

The Reno finals is run from slowest to fastest, so the top two in the aggregate, Leslie Smalygo and McLeod-Sprague had yet to go. Darling couldn’t predict that the final outcome would remain in her favor.

“I knew Martini could do it, but I was so surprised when I won,” she said. “When you’re all that close in the average, you just don’t know.”

Darling says the Reno setup was much to Martini’s liking as the mare eats it up in big pens. A couple of her friends advised her to enter Reno, citing the fact that the pen would suit her mare, and they weren’t wrong.

“I don’t normally come out West this early. Since I’ve had a goal to make the NFR this year, I knew I’d have to go to all the big ones that I can,” said Darling, adding that she turned out of Greeley after Reno, opting instead to head to the Northwest. “I decided to come up here [to St. Paul] where it’s cooler and there’s more money added, plus it’s a one-header.”

Darling runs at St Paul on Friday, July 1, followed by Molalla and Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, and then Livingston, Montana, and Cody, Wyoming, both on Monday the Fourth of July. She plans to run her back-up horse Clares Fancy Firewater at Eugene.

“I’m entered up, that’s the thing, you can’t back off, you’ve got to stay with it. I’m not far enough ahead,” Darling said. “I’m just out here having fun and trying to survive. I’m just very thankful for the win in Reno and for the ground crew doing what they could do to make the ground good and hand-raking after every run in the finals, it was amazing that they did that.”

When asked if the draw position impacted her mindset in Reno, Darling says the draw is something that always factors in, but not to such a degree that it impedes her focus.

“I thought the ground was pretty good, it’s always hit or miss, sometimes there’s more moisture than at other times,” Darling said. “It’s rodeo ground, so it is what it is. The hand raking helps, but if you draw the top that’s just always a good spot to be in. I don’t even think about where I’m at on the ground, I just send her. If I do my job, she’ll do hers. Honestly, you can’t hold back, you’ve got to make a run. I try to keep her tight and not let her get out in the ruts that’ll slow her down. She did slip that night in the finals because it got a little bit slick on the backside of third barrel. She had a little slip, but she was just fast enough to take the lead.”

To keep Martini happy on the road, Darling says her routine involves a balance of rest and regular exercise.

“I pony her a lot. I ride her a little bit and rest her,” she said. “I try to stay off grounds and don’t stay at the rodeos. I do it if I have to, but if I can find somewhere to stay outside of the rodeo, that’s usually what I do. I just stay very consistent with her. We exercise every day. Whether it’s just walking or trotting, I do something with her every day.”

Joined by her 7-year-old daughter Demi on the road, Darling says co-mingling mom-life with rodeo life is not always easy, but she makes it work and wouldn’t have it any other way.
