 This is J.C. Trujillo. In honor of Danny Freeman, Frontier Days historian, KYCA presents another Frontier Days story from his book, The World's Oldest Rodeo. From 1913 through 1940, relay races were very popular at the rodeo. They were patterned after the old Pony Express. Three cowboys raced each other going twice around the half-mile track. Each one-quarter mile, the riders changed horses and saddles. Rider to cross the finish line first in front of the grandstand was the winner.
