Ed Melville- Night 4- Re-Draw Night

July 13th, 2010 by Ed Melville

Well we just finished night 4 and my wagons ran big last night.  Neal Walgenbach took top day money last night, and Kirk Sutherland was second.  They re-drew the wagons after last night, so I had 4 guys hooked in the same heat together so I had to quit some guys.  As an outrider, re-draw night can be stressful because you want to keep your good wagons apart so they don’t stack up together.  I had to quit Neal Walgenbach last night because he is in the same heat as Luke Tournier and Luke is my first call.  I hope I can get Neal back Saturday night after these 4 days are over.  I especially want to ride for Neal because he is retiring after the Stampede and I have been with Neal for over 15 years.  It won’t be the same without the Walgenbach family around.  I hope the rain holds off, but it doesn’t look good.

Thank You
