gelding named Hawk, Sherry Cervi's career in the 1990s was the stuff of
legend--eight straight NFR appearances, two world championships, two Wrangler

Turtle Powell and Vegas
Before making the Wrangler National Finals in 2008, Turtle
Powell had only cracked the top 15 three times: 1999, 2001 and 2004. By
