Relive Championship Saturday: Inside the $1.13 Million Old West World Championships

The 2026 Old West World Championships paid out $1.13 million in Amarillo, pushing Old West’s total awarded money for the year to $5.1 million—and championship Saturday brought together some of the best young horses and horsemen in the business.

On this episode of The Score, hear from all the winners across the Non-Pro, Limited, Intermediate and Open as they break down their championship runs, the horses that got them there and what it means to compete in the middle of a rapidly-growing industry.

The episode includes Brooke Wilson, Sy York, Culley Morgan, Brodie Boyce, Jackie Crawford, Jordan Allyn, Trevor Boatwright, Andy Holcomb and Clyde Bolejack before moving into the Open champions with Joseph Harrison and Royal Nites, Hunter Koch and Rockk Star and Trevor Brazile’s sweep of both Open heading championships.

Brazile finished the week as Amarillo’s highest-earning rider with $166,472—more than double any other rider at the event—as another Old West World Championships came to a close. X Performance Horses, owners of Rockk Star, were the top-earning owners with $91,343 won on seven horses.
