Larsen finished second in the bareback standings in Pool C with $10,500. Jacob Lees of Caldwell, Idaho was the Pool C leader with $12,500.
We also know the three chuckwagon drivers who will be competing in the Rangeland Derby’s Dash for Cash on Sunday. The riders are Jason Glass of High River, Alberta, Chanse Vigen of Calgary, Alberta, and Layne MacGillivray of Halkirk, Alberta. You could make the argument that the Calgary Stampede is the crown jewel of chuckwagon racing.
