Prior to the start of chuckwagon races at Canora Ag Days on Aug. 20, Bryce Young, race announcer, prayed the Wagon Driver’s Prayer.
“Heavenly Father, we pause, mindful of the many blessings You have bestowed upon us. We ask that You be with us at these races, and we pray that You will guide us on the race track of life.
“We don’t ask for special favours, or to draw the rail every time, nor do we ask for all daylight runs or to never tip a barrel.
“Help us Lord to live our lives in such a manner that when we make that last, inevitable ride to the country where the grass grows lush, green and neck yoke high, and the water runs cool, clear and deep, that You, as our last judge, will tell us that our entry fees are paid. Amen.”
In the chuckwagon races, the final two-day standings were as follows: Wayne Salmond, first; Ryan Peterson, second; Curtis Longman, third; Casey Peterson, fourth, and Clint Salmond, fifth.
The two-day results for the chariot races were: Twyla Salmond, first; Casey Peterson, second; Casey Peterson B, third; Colin Kilborn, fourth, and Brandee Braaten, fifth.
Cooper Hue was the top junior chariot driver as well as the top rookie chuckwagon driver.
