Brent Wright is Newest NRHA One Million Dollar Rider
There’s a new NRHA One Million Dollar Rider. Brent Wright has now joined Reining’s elite! Wright’s triumph came at the 2008 National Reining Breeders Classic in Katy, TX. He won the first go-round and tied for ninth in the Open Finals on Miss Rey O Shine, owned by Bahn Quarter Horses, LLC.
According to NRHA records, before the NRBC, Wright’s lifetime earnings totaled just over $973,417. His winnings of over $43,000 at this year’s NRBC sent him over the one million dollar mark. Pending NRHA confirmation of the NRBC show results, Wright becomes the eleventh reiner to win more than one million dollars in NRHA lifetime earnings.
