TRACKSIDE TUESDAY: TOO CLOSE TO CALL

A nose. A head. A fraction of a second. Sometimes, that’s all that separates first place from second.

When horses cross the finish line nearly together, officials turn to the photo finish camera. Unlike a regular camera that captures a single moment, a photo finish camera records the finish line continuously, creating a precise image of exactly when each horse reaches the wire. Winners aren’t decided by who looks ahead in the final stride or whose jockey crosses first. It’s the horse whose nose reaches the finish line first. At the track, every inch counts.

Have you ever witnessed a photo finish at the Crooked River Roundup?

When the railroad bypassed Prineville, the community found another way forward. The City of Prineville Railway was created to connect the town to the main line.
A reminder of what can happen when a community takes matters into its own hands.

A great partnership deserves a great keepsake. 🤠⌚️

This year, each event winner took home an Original Grain , presented in a beautifully engraved box made just for the Crooked River Roundup.

A one-of-a-kind piece to mark a one-of-a-kind accomplishment and a partnership we’re proud to have as part of the Roundup.

Thank you, Original Grain, for helping us make the moment even more memorable.
