Prindle and Red Man Jones Unstoppable
Randee Prindle and Red Man Jones have been on an absolute roll lately, sweeping the Barrel Bash in Gifford, Illinois and followed it up at the NBHA World Championships. As of November 5 on Q Data, Red Man Jones (2011 gelding by Brownie Jones and out of Dinkys Purple Rain by Dinkys Red Man) is currently ranked #23 on the list of All Time High Money Earners in the Barrel Racing. With $721,356 in earnings, Red Man Jones is owned by Prindle and was bred by Jud Little.
"Scooby" and Prindle are no strangers to the winners circle. In 2020, they won the American Semi-Finals at Cowtown, headed to AT&T Stadium. Recently, they locked up the 2024 High Point from Future Fortunes, banking a $40,000 bonus.
In Round 1 in Perry, the duo placed 4th in the Open 1D with a 14.696 for $2,944. They came back in Round 2 with a 14.607 for a $3,668 win in the Open 1D.
Finally in the $35,000 added Finals, they ran a smoking fast 14.394 to win the 1D by a little over four-tenths of a second for a $9,871 victory. Their time was so fast, they only left three other teams in the 1D, Chloe Gray and Guys On Firewater with a 14.802, Angie Cunningham and TDL Smoke N Ice with a 14.846, and Justin Theado and Famous Socks with a 14.873.
