The heart of the barrel racing industry remains the divisional formatted races.

DIVISIONAL BARREL RACES ARE THE LIFEBLOOD of the barrel racing industry, comprising more than 54% of all money awarded.

Nearly every horse tracked by EquiStat won a portion of the $25.6 million awarded at Open, Senior and Youth races using the divisional format in 2022. They were running at $3 million more than in 2021.

Open, Senior and Youth races using the divisional format were also heavily influenced by the incentive programs, which awarded $6.1 million, 24% of all divisional dollars. The Pink Buckle had the largest purse with $1.8 million but was limited to the offspring of the 50 current stallions enrolled and the few who have dropped out of the program.

Las Vegas’ All-In Barrel Race was the richest open to everyone — any rider, any horse — with a purse of $785,203.

As far as breeding, A Streak Of Fling was the leading sire of divisional money-earners with 304 earners of $766,307. The No. 6 ranked sire overall had more money-earning offspring at the divisional races than any other, including Dash Ta Fame.

Youth races, most of which used the divisional format, accounted for $2.7 million in purses. The divisional National Barrel Horse Association Youth World Championships was the largest purse at $404,536. The Jr Patriot was the largest straight-pay race, awarding $254,355. They were the No. 1 and No. 2 youth events, respectively.

Races for the senior riders awarded $830,633 in purses. The Senior World Championships in Texarkana, Arkansas, was the richest divisional race, while the Breeders Challenge Finale Senior Race was the richest straight pay. EquiStat tracked 2,311 senior money earners. They made up 13% of all money-winning riders. The 4,923 youth money earners accounted for 28% of the industry.

Of the 25,080 horses that earned checks in 2022, only 5,190 were 1D money earners. That’s just 20% of all money-earning horses. The majority of horses, 9,798, or 39%, won a 3D check, while an equal 34% won money in either the 2D or 4D. The smallest percentage group was the 5D, the least-offered division, with only 13%. Of the industry’s 17,380 check winners, just 22%, or 3,978, won money in the 1D. Like with the horses, the 3D had the most representation with 7,977 individuals for 46% of the total. The 4D with 7,262, or 42%, was close behind. Check winners in the 5D were the smallest group at 18% of the total.

It’s worth noting the overlap between divisions. A horse could be 1D at one show and 3D at another and count toward each division’s total. The same is true for the riders. Thus, it’s not possible to compare the divisions strictly between each other.
