The average winner\u2019s check brought another $5,769.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrank\u2019s doing really good,\u201d Fryar said. \u201cWe\u2019re back healthy, and he feels amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Texas cowgirl has been picking her spots this spring, running a handful of ProRodeos and a few of the bigger-paying jackpots while leaving the summer schedule loose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just going with the vibes,\u201d Fryar said. \u201cIf it plays out where I take off and go for the summer run, that would be amazing.

Asked what makes the Frenchmans Fabulous gelding so dominant in tighter sets, she didn\u2019t hesitate.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really his consistency and honesty that shine,\u201d Fryar said.<\/p>\n<p>Fryar was the last athlete to chase the WCRA\u2019s Triple Crown of Rodeo million-dollar bonus before the organization dissolved and the format went with it. Her 2026 performance marked a triumphant return to the same arena that cost Fryar her chance at the million after winning two of the previous WCRA events.<\/p>\n<p>The next stop is Fort Worth. The inaugural Premier Women\u2019s Rodeo Finals kick off with Round 1 Tuesday, May 12 at Cowtown Coliseum and run through Friday\u2019s championship round, with $803,000 in total event purse on the line. <\/p>\n<p>Frank hasn\u2019t been to Northside in about two years, but Fryar\u2019s pumped up to get him back in the historic building after a weekend building momentum down South.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrank\u2019s feeling himself,\u201d Fryar said. \u201cI think it\u2019s going to be a great week.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2026_Corpus-Christi_Perf5_GBR_Stephanie-Fryer_ClickThompson-0003-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Stephanie Fryar gets interviewed by a man\" class=\"wp-image-19716\"  \/>Stephanie Fryar | Click Thompson photo<\/p>\n<p>Rodeo Corpus Christi 2026 Barrel Racing Results<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/barrelracing.com\/news\/2026-prorodeo-results-tracke\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"19689\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Click here for May ProRodeo results tracker <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Round 1:\u00a01.
