The duo, who won three rounds last year, had been flirting with a victory since the first go round.

“She ran really good tonight,” Cervi said. “She was real tight. It has been a great week. My horse has been working really good. I’m excited and just enjoying the ride while it lasts.”

Cervi posted a time of 13.93 seconds to top reserve champions Lindsay Sears and Sugar Moon Express (“Martha”) by two hundredths of a second and Brittany Pozzi and Yeah Hes Firen (“Duke”) by three hundredths.

“In the past, it has taken her a few runs [to get up to speed],” Cervi said of Stingray, “but she came in here the first night and wasn’t looking at the crowd and saw three barrels, so I was way excited when I placed in the first round. She feels a lot more confident [than last year], and I’m more confident on her.”

While she will take a few moments to enjoy the win, Cervi said her goal is to remain focused on her primary goal, which is winning another world championship.

“I have come here and had a chance and not mentally stayed focus and done stupid things,” she said, “so that’s my goal, to stay mentally focused and whatever happens, happens, but do my job.”

Brittany Pozzi added to her lead in the race for the World Championship with $171,378.64 in 2011 earnings, more than $21,000 ahead of second-place Lindsay Sears. Sherry Cervi added two hundredths of a second to her lead in the NFR Average standings, stretching it to 25 hundredths of a second over Sears.
