Top Shelf Breeders Barrel Race Draws Big Crowds and Big Business to Fallon

The third annual Top Shelf Breeders Barrel Race filled the Rafter 3C Arena last weekend, bringing some of the West’s fastest horses and a healthy boost of economic activity to Fallon.

Organizers say the four-day event continues to grow each year, drawing hundreds of competitors, families, and spectators from across the western states.

The competition kicked off Wednesday evening with a Wine Welcome social and ran through Saturday’s awards presentation, featuring a full schedule of open, futurity, and derby races, plus qualifiers for the American Rodeo Contender Tournament.

Open competitors ran for more than $50,000 in added money, including payouts through the Top Shelf Breeders side pot, 3D High Stakes race, and affiliate events with Royal Crown, Diamond Classic, and Future Fortunes.

The event has become a significant economic driver for Fallon, with revenue generated from stall rentals, lodging, dining, and local fuel stops.
